I absolutely HATE the touch sensitive buttons they're using. You can even see him having to tap the buttons twice just to get them to register. And if we're being honest, its a cheap-skate way of giving the consumer less while charging more instead of actually making quality buttons that allow you to focus on driving rather than wondering why things aren't being selected while driving a 640hp vehicle.
@@G82Watts nothing downpipes, intakes, turbos, and a tune can’t fix. Plus S63/S68 powered M cars sound like garbage anyway. So they can keep that.

And if you really want something that’s cooking the entire segment, a Used 2022 Cayenne TURBO GT is the way to go over the Urus as well.
@@AYO_KO yea turbo gt is the 👑 but it's still insane that the x5m and x6m after all these years is still ahead. Even the new m5 beat the rs6 gt. Audi can't beat bmw 😂

@@mindplanes yeah that's true, ugliest shit boxes I've ever seen, but I don't even consider them Mercedes they are just products to fulfill their CO2 Quotes and certificates and all that stuff imo
Has both the show & the go!! My favourite performance SUV. Had a chance to get behind the wheel of a standard RSQ8 at an Audi drive day & and it's just a beast!! Thx Max.👍
I love that Audi is starting to listen to their customers. Badging situation is getting fixed as well, non S/RS models won't have the rhombus anymore. This new RSQ8 is truly epic
They seemed to have resurfaced the asphalt of Castellolí. I once participated in an Audi Driving Experience and the end of the straight at around 18:20 was very scary because it was bumpy as hell. Regarding the car, it seems they nailed it. Bravo Audi.
Ive owned high performance cars since the 90s until now, and i really hate how fat and heavy all these new ones are. I test drove a Cayenne GTS, Audi RSQ8, F90 M5, Volvo EX30 Twin motor, the new 911 carrera 4S, The 2024 AMG GT, Audi RS5, and MANY others, but they feel so damn big and heavy, even the 911. Now the upcoming M5 is even heavier, the C63 is 4 cylinder and also stupidly heavy its crazy. I used to own a e39 M5 and a Holden Commodore SS V8 and both of those were significantly lighter feeling than any of these new cars. I drove a 996 carrera 4S at a classic car dealer recently and i was shocked how much nicer it was to drive than the new 992 4S, just light and very responsive and sounded much nicer plus much better visibility than any new car. I bought it on the spot since even after full restoration its still much cheaper than any new performance car with comparable performance. Im sick of new performance cars. There are maybe a couple new performance cars that i think are okay but they have been having a lot of issues, the Lotus Emira and the GR Yaris/Corolla. It really sucks to be a car guy right now.
Faster than an Urus and great looks . I'm very very impressed . Good job Audi . Those roads are weirdorama dude be careful with all that hp you might drive off the cliff there ! Damn !
295 in the front will kill the suspension long term. Turning that while standing still grants you regular visits at the shop for correcting the wheel alignment. Also, I cannot imagine that thing won't love to catch every rut it can find. Optically, it doesn't appeal me at all. The older RSQ8 was well more dominant in its looks. This thing does not actually look anything special at all - like the RS6 does for example. Also, I don't fancy the interior. Looks as cheap as previous gens. BMW doesn't do it any better nowadays, however. Let's not even talk about Mercedes. They lost all premium touch after introducing W 223.
I doesn't really look different from my RSQ8 (pre-lift, full spec), for handling corners and in general, it is very similar on sportiest settings, extra BHP might help but you always can tune non-performance one.
@@Divine_Serpent_GehThese 23 inchers are the special light weight wheels. So even though it's bigger, it's lighter than the smaller options. So I reckon this is the fastest alloy for this car
@@mks1702 Surface area still matters. Even if they are lighter than the other 23” wheels, they are still 23”. There is still mass 11.5” from the center of the wheel, versus 10” if they were 20s, that’s a huge difference. The further weight is from the center of mass, the more inertia it takes to keep going, no matter how insignificant it might seem.
@Divine_Serpent_Geh Agreed. But the rs6 perf is 0.5s faster 100-200 with these lightweight wheels than the smaller alloys. I'm not sure of the difference in alloy sizes for the rs6 though
Of course, it will achieve the record when it uses the Porsche V8 4.0 Twin Turbo engine that wass made for the VW group and their newest cars in high segment. Great job this gonna push them to make even beter cars. Porsche AG is part of the Volkswagen Group and you know that things are too rosy for them because of the financial burden known as the Dieselgate scandal. Even though Porsche doesn’t say it explicitly, all V8 engines for the Volkswagen Group will be built at the new facility in Zuffenhausen to cut costs and to streamline production and logistics. In other words, the twin-turbo V8 powerplants in Audi and Bentley models will be built by Porsche. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 will also find its way under the hood of the long-awaited Lamborghini Urus, the spiritual predecessor of the LM002 “Rambo Lambo” from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
This steering wheel is much prettier and the buttons are better, the only bad thing about this new facelift is the removal of the badge and the new plastic steering wheel and ugly Audi logo
one of the few suvs i really like. rsq8 is quite impressive. not just the performance but also visually.
I hate SUVs and agree with you
In allblack is fire🔥
X6m comp looks alot better imo. Alot more sleek
@@PEACEOUTXX1 that X6 looks ugly from the back
Weighing less than the new M5 💀
llowkey starting to get old but for this its funny asl
@@victor555117 What car isn't (besides the new electric G-Class 🤮)? 😁
😂😂😂😂
And looks 300times better
It’s just a better car to buy
This is truly better than the Urus now!! I’m not hearing anything different!!

@ that is completely a fair point, bc I’m all for hard buttons over touch pads n all that screen nonsense
It's QM time is slow asf. The x5m comp and x6m are still alot faster.

I like the design of this SUV.
its a urus
@@DilpreetRai-b3c no, a urus is this.
@@DilpreetRai-b3c It's faster than the Urus now with the upgrade in HP , suspension etc.
Incredible !
I’ve put an order in for US. Ascari blue, tan interior. They think US orders will be around June 2025
Send me pics then bro🔥

RSQ8 is the best car in the world. I don't even like SUVs but I dream about this car.
Audi and Mercedes are still building good looking cars unlike new BMW's
Your taking the piss with merc 🤣

Finally a decent Audi. I like it. Sadly it lacks on buttons
finally a decent Audi? lol have you ever drove any Audi?
@@andrecardoso6941 Yeah what is this guy snorting lol theyve been doing the best cars my whole life
Nice video on the urus!
I usually say that my Audi is a Lamborghini, it has the same cruise control stalks 😅
Better than the urus
This is better than the Urus. Its cheaper and more reliable.
You have this completely backwards.
It's the Urus that is an Audi. There's nothing Lamborghini in this vehicle or the Urus. It's all Audi in both.
@ that's what I meant
You make some of the best car videos, hands-down❤
Hey Max, normally in the ‘Car’ settings, you can adjust the bolstering of the seats.
RSQ8 in my opinion is the best car that Audi constructed. What a beast! Thx for a great video :)
Great looking car, as all recent Audis
Love the front and rear split camera views on the race track. Top notch review as always!
Nice to see a video in Spain on your channel!!
Has both the show & the go!! My favourite performance SUV. Had a chance to get behind the wheel of a standard RSQ8 at an Audi drive day & and it's just a beast!! Thx Max.👍
Even though it is frowned upon, I love the sound of amazing sounding engines on the rev limiter.
I love that Audi is starting to listen to their customers. Badging situation is getting fixed as well, non S/RS models won't have the rhombus anymore. This new RSQ8 is truly epic
click the seat icon next to the ac controls and you can adjust side support for your legs aswell as upper body
Wow, i'm not an Audi fan but they nailed it on the updates! Beautiful car
Nice, apart from the touch climate controls.
This car is perfection, also physical buttons, amazing
Last time I was this early ....
500 HP was still considered a lot .
still a lot
By today's standards 300 HP is considered not a lot
Finally we have 2 bugatti videos in this channel, so now we want KOENIEGSEGG REGERA, AGERA, JESKO, ONE , CCX
Really liked the new rsq8 performance, I can't wait for Misha to test it on the nurburgring
The engine cover gets to keep the old, cooler badging? Interesting.
im confused by it too idk y they would change it on the exterior the old one looked so much better
Faster on Nurburgring than Turbo GT💀
How? Faster than the Turbo GT or the "Turbo E Hybrid w/ GT Package"?
And the interior is way better
@@AllanCuttingedgeto simple it for you it's the fastest SUV around the Nurb
@@s1mk_editz But not as fast in depreciation as an EV. 😁
and uglier too 😂
It takes a huge amount of discipline to not hit that apexline 💯
Lovely engine and car
Maahnn look at those meter cluster at maximum rev. Vintage audi❤

What do you think about G80 M3 comp xdrive
great car boss
Faster than an Urus and great looks .
I'm very very impressed .
Good job Audi .
Those roads are weirdorama dude be careful with all that hp you might drive off the cliff there !
Damn !
Wow what country are these roads in?
It looks stunning!!
RS logo on the back updated, however on engine cover its old logo.
After Porsche Cayenne und Lamorghini Urus changed to the heavy PHEV-systems this is the last real Sport-SUV (beside the Ferrari Purosangue)!
What a beast.
This is literally a large hatchback. 😂
And I like It so! 😊👍🏽
Amazing car now it finally has Urus Speed
Love this on the road.. but can you take it not to heavy offroad?
Beautiful!
dream car
So audi gonna comeback stronger
I'm amazed by how audi managed to pull of a car so good, especially in today's reality. WOW
Dream car right there
cant wait for the new RS7
If it wasnt for the audi Q8, audi wouldve fallen off pretty bad by now 😂 Q8 is a beauty tho
it sounds like the old rs6-s8 plus,good.
Now I like the RSQ8
DBX 707 > Cayenne Turbo GT > RSQ8 Performance/Bentley Bentayga Speed > Urus Performante > GLE63S/X6M
I would chose RS6 over this at any time.
Most Beauty SUV ❤
you mean updates or upgrades from the common versions?
RSQ8 vs 25 Cayenne GTS vs X5 M comp
Audi Audi Audi 👍👍👍👍👍
Could you share the location? Best!
Why do the engine cover, floormats, seats and steeringwheel still have the old RS logo?! Seems off...
I actually prefer this over the Urus
Which racetrack is that one ?
Can you test drive the corvette c8 z06 ?
I hate about the noises or rattling on inside? Does it rattle like the Mercedes
Wow new urus
Urus is based on Q8, not the other way around
Did audi do away with the pop up dash speakers 2025?
I didn't know you also recorded videos in Barcelona, nice.
I want this car 🙂

Please run corvette C8 on this road!!!!
Early for this upload! ❤
Performances are so so.. actually the same as previous one
This might be my new favourite SUV. Thank God global warming hasn't phased Audi with this absolute beast.
What is the location of this video 🎉
need a RS8 sup with audi?
🔥🔥
30l/100
по уклону никто не мереет!тоже самое что и с обрыва скинуть и удивиться как она быстро 100 км/ч набрала
Не знаю,но хочется взять Porsche Cayenne turbo ❤ хочется сделать себе подарок на ДР ❤

Better than urus
I don’t think this one has the sport exhaust 😬
Urus
My Rs3 8Y 8.60s 100-200
Noch so ein Panzer der glaubt, er wäre ein Sportwagen.
so they still use the old RS badge on the tachometer lol
"295 at the front"
uh, that's nice and the sound is as well
But 23" is a little bit like stagecoach wheels. I'm not so sure.
20 or 21s would be ideal for this car. These wheels are too big, it would probably improve acceleration figures a bit too.
Not good to stager wheel size on an awd.
