AUDI RS Q8: Better Than A Lamborghini Urus?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I get my hands on the new RS Q8, Audi's first RS SUV. Under the skin, the car is essentially the same as the Lamborghini Urus, so how does it compare?
From Audi:
The new Audi RS Q8 is the top model in the Q product line. It combines the power of an RS model with the elegance of a premium coupe and the flexibility of an SUV.
“For the first time in the 25-year history of Audi RS models, we are putting a large SUV coupe with the genes of a true high-performance sports car on the road,” said Oliver Hoffmann, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. “With its biturbo V8 gasoline engine, the Audi RS Q8 is the prestigious spearhead of the RS model family.”
441 kW (600 hp), 800 Nm (590.0 lb-ft) of torque between 2,200 and 4,500 rpm - the 4.0 liter V8 in the new Audi RS Q8 delivers impressive RS performance. The turbocharged gasoline engine with direct injection accelerates the large SUV coupe from Audi Sport GmbH from 0 to 100 km/h (62.0 mph) in just 3.8 seconds and to 200 km/h (124.3 mph) in 13.7 seconds. The 250 km/h (155.3 mph) top speed is electronically governed. With the optional dynamic package, top speed is 305 km/h (189.5 mph).

Conclusion of urus vs RS Q8
Urus is like tony stark, always super high on life and flashy and powerful...
While RS Q8 is Bruce Wayne, slightly stealthy but could become outrageous while in batman suit... 😅
Some of the best well put together well edited but kept simple content on RUclips, deserve more subscribers
Really appreciate that
100% true !!!
Facts
Well put!
Well, it's the second RS SUV, RSQ3 being the first..
Damn it! I knew I was going to get something wrong in this video
@@seenthroughglass haha..Keep up the good work Sam!. I also wanted to say that I would totally see you getting more in the classy automotive lifestyle scene. Collab with existing brands such as Barbour International (being a Brit) or Hackett or Deus ex Machina. I am sure you have considered it. I would buy a STG special from such iconic brands ;)
@@seenthroughglass You gotta test RSQ3 as well.
I always thought they also did the RSQ7 back in the days... damn I was a fool haha
@@ip6603 there has never been an RSQ5. There was a SQ5 diesel though
Noticing the new style of thumbnails Sam
They look good ngl...
Appreciate it
@Seen Through Glass very TheStraightPipes looking 👀
As a URUS buyer , I never considered a RSQ8 even they have almost same performance and 100K cheaper. Lamborghini knows exactly where their target market is.
I'm sure he's sounding posher by the video.
Lol yeah but a good guy to view
@@steverussell6269 True, it was meant in jest.
He’s going to be the next Queen.
I've been subscribing this channel for 5 years now while having never commented on a single video. Now I just got to say it... brilliant content lately! Superb work.
Was literally trying to find a video comparison of these two last night. STG you legend! What a great feeling to see this
Glad I could be of service
Thank you, Sam, for adding your voice to the growing crowd that understand that all these touchscreens/haptic touch controls are very simply... BLOODY DANGEROUS!!! There's little chance even owners of these cars can develop the muscle memory to operate them routinely without taking their eyes off the road for AT LEAST a second or two - and this is going to get people killed!! Furthermore, they almost invariably make repairs and replacement harder, more involved and awkward PLUS significantly more expensive.
When analogue buttons, switches and dials are cheaper, easier and SAFER, what do you gain from this digital control?? NOTHING, other than sleek/cool and fashionable baubles! I hope the designers of these systems find a good night's sleep hard to come by!! They may not deserve a death sentence, or a place in Hell but I'd willingly shove a cattle-prod up their jacksies and lock the "on" button!!!
I agree, I think buttons or dials are still VERY necessary for owners to drive and keep their eyes on the road while adjusting most routine vehicle settings. I'm still glad I have that in my 2018 Audi Q7 instead of the 2020 and above versions, because the digital screens are too complicated to remember where most functions are. 🙂
8:14 woof!
I look forward to these videos now, I think your content and style of video has gotten better during lockdown. It's completely different to Shmee150s videos as his are just getting too samey, he just visits the same people and garages in his videos now..
I feel like he doesn’t go in about cars anymore, mostly just says their name and spec and where it sits in the market and that’s it.
The production levels in these videos is unbelievable Sam! Keep it up
100% agree with getting the less expensive but arguably better at its core purpose SUV plus a sports car. That combo fulfills their purpose better than one compromised vehicle
It’s hard to find a more ridiculous type of vehicle than these two lol
As an owner of both, I do prefer my Audi. I keep the Urus on the West Coast, while my Audi is usually garaged at my Connecticut residence.
For real? What do you do to make the money required for things like this?
Great stuff Sam 👍. I definitely think it’s better looking than the Lambo but it’s still an SUV so it gets a 👎 from me.
Fair enough!
Shoutout to you mentioning Croatia in this video. Meanwhile, watching you from Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. 😁😁
Ooooh! Seeing the way the seatbelt lays over your shoulder sends frost to my bones!
Sadly most people dont pay attention to it, but it will cut its way into the shoulder and break your collarbone in any crash.
I am following you since quite a long time now ! 5+ years... And you just keep going better and better ! Really happy to being part of your adventure. Keep it up with the amazing edit/ realisation. Amazing content and deserve more subs ! Cheers and hello from a french canadian follower in Canada, Quebec city !
I liked your presentation of a rather unusual car. Good job, Sam.
Thanks pal
Definitely the best produced car content from an individual on RUclips, I love it. Thank you Sam👏
i think you hit the nail on the head with this one, and other SSUV's. It's a good every day car and the power is there if needed/wanted. It's not a sports car to take on a hoon, but it'll get up and go should you need it to.
Thanks for watching
One of my Dream cars of late has been the Q8...I was not even aware there was a RS version. Sadly, the price will keep it a dream.
the old RSQ3 was the first.
I was thinking that!
So two things Audi needs to study this video... To watch how many times Sam had to take his eyes of the road because of there stupid over complicated, flawed infotainment design!! Plus they need to stop charging Fing £350+ as an optional extra for front and rear side door and curtain airbags!.. yes that's correct on an expensive model like this you don't get something as simple as curtain airbags as standard which is utterly dispicable!!.
Give me a brand new RS4 and a lot more smiles.
It takes a desperate extrovert to buy any Lamborghini model, and the Urus is certainly no exception. Out of the two, I'd choose the Audi.
I'm with you
It's funny to read this because talking about the video with some friends, as Italians, we could not understand your point. But as a brit, I kinda get it haha. Cheers Sam
@@GN1995_3 I thought you were Swiss
Don’t forget the 2018 RS6 Performance with 605 hp ! That thing was the most powerful and (probably) fastest RS Model ever .
Same as S8 Plus and RS7 Performance
I appreciate you not 'selling out' and just complementing this car to the heavens for an improved chance at sponsorship. You keep it very real and are not afraid to criticise the cars you drive, which is what makes you so good at the job I suppose! Would love to see a drive of the new RS6 though, they should have given you that!
I'd still prefer the RS6, it does the same job, yet it's faster and cheaper!
And lighter, more aerodynamic and better looking😊
@@doctornrsfnly What's more, I prefer lower seating positions🤣
@@user-fr5rd1sz5d absolutely. The RS6 Is just the better option for even less money than the RSQ6
@@doctornrsfnly RSQ6?
or RS7
I thought they were similar until I drove an Urus, no comparison, and the Lamborghini exterior styling and brand factor is too 🔥🔥🔥
Why audi didnt make "RS R8" or "RS8" to complete the line up instead of just R8 ?
The issue with this car is it just doesnt look special. it barely looks different than a base q8 with a s line package... urus looks wild and thats part of the appeal.
Personally I disagree, I think it has great presence and actually one came around the corner in all black and I noticed it immediately. But for sure, some people will want the wow factor of a Urus/Bentayga etc
@@seenthroughglass I think it’s more the specialness you get for the price that’s the issue. Subdued styling, and same interior option as base car essentially. I just made on on the configurator here in the states this morning, and it’s only black interior and it’s extra $5000 to have extended leather. The q8 is selling poorly compared to its rivals in the states. I actually do like the car but I find it very understated compared to an AMG or M product.
Exactly, if I'm spending this much money on a super SUV, or any high-end performance car, I want something that stands out a bit more. Maybe its the spec of this Audi that make sit looks a bit plain.
I didn't understand cars like this so drive a fast Audi estate (Avant), but the older I get the less opportunity I get to use its power because of traffic and speed restrictions and the less comfortable it is climbing down into the seat. It's still wonderful to be able to overtake at need though. So I'm beginning to understand fast SUVs. The haters need to give some consideration for the aches and pains that come with age. Alternatively I could just have a mid life crisis and buy a sports car.
The view on the motorway and countryside roads is better too
He said Croatia 😊😉, Hi from Croatia 😃
First Audi RS SUV? I would say RS Q3 came already in 2014 right? 🥸 What a beautiful machine!!!
Yes indeed! I'm a fool
You missed out on not taking it quick on some of those tighter bends....it’s unbelievable how flat it remains thru the twisties....and there’s enough power / traction to shift the weight where you want it through the bend.....the issue is actually the width of the car...it’s bloody terrifying. That Bibury road is not a fun spot for a Q8.
I really wish manufacturers would update their Nav’s route calculations so that where possible it keeps you on `A’ roads. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve ended up on a single track lane simply because there isn’t a posted speed limit, so it thinks you can go 60mph on it.
Great review ...you really captured the essence of the car....
RSQ3 I think you’ll find as the first Audi RS SUV.
Relationship
The RSq8 is the computer programming/ autobiography reading twin
The urus is the sports playing , designer label loving other twin.
I would definitely say so! Same engine, same chassis almost same interior. But a lower price!!
Yup :)
*isn't it practically the same car with a different body and a nicer price tag?* Anyway great video Sam as always!
Yup, which is why it might be better ;) Thanks for tuning in
He reminds me of Jamie Laing from Made in Chelsea. Same voice, same west London settings, even uses the same type of music made in Chelsea use.
Maybe I am Jamie Laing
@@seenthroughglass haha! Well I've never seen you and Jamie Laing in the same place at the same time....jokes aside I watch every episode, keep the great content!
@@seenthroughglass without his wig?
You know when Sam taps the throttle and the car hurls forward,the expression on his face in trademark STG.Seen Through Glass ™️™️™️™️™️™️™️™™™™™™™™™™!!
What a beast. I’d take this over the Urus. Great video Sam.
One of the last impartial car journalist remaining. Brilliant work sir.
Lambo Urus has 10 times the appeal of an RSQ8, it properly serves a purpose of performance and exclusivity. The RSQ8 still has its nice presence, but ultimately looks the same as a standard Q8 which costs half. If I'm spending over 150k on an SUV, it's the Urus for me all day
Interesting prospective . Thanks for tuning in
These super SUV's seem to sum up a lot thats wrong with the world. They're existence is harder to justify than supercars, which are purpose built to look, sounds and go fast. Who on earth needs to go fast in something that is that big and weighs that much, plus no one probably does drive them properly anyway, it's just for the flex
You could of titled this video "Chlamydia: Better Than A Lamborghini Urus?" and you would still of been right.
lol
Bet you own a Ford Mondeo
@@Soulrollsdeep Nothing wrong with a Mondeo, they're solid dependable cars.
I already know this video is going to be a banger
Haha hope it lives up to your expectations
The video and production are absolutely solid but can we talk about the selection of music in this video? Cuz they're absolute bangers.
Also Sam, what part of London is it you're driving in at the end of the video? With all the good looking streets and nice town houses somewhat? That looks like a wonderful place to live in
Kensington & Chelsea
Love the quality of your videos! Best solo car RUclipsr by far!
favourite car channel on RUclips
By far one of the best you tubers out there car wise
You don't understand that car unless you really throw it around in corners. I drive a Cayenne S, and it's as fast on a highway on ramp as my 996 only with more power out of the corner due to the all wheel drive. The thing is, it doesn't "push into a hedge." The electronics and diffs and all wheel drive kick in and you get what you're paying for when you'll full in the throttle on corner exit. Randy Pobst did an insane lap time at Laguna Seca in the new Cayenne Turbo because the car doesn't just go in a straight line. For anyone not paying attention, this and the Cayenne Turbo and the Urus are all the same platform and very similar. For my money, though, my not very used Cayenne S was just the same money as a Toyota Camry and still 80% of what the highest power models are. And my Cayenne tows my 7,500 lb trailer.
These SUV's are good enough that you can take them out and go for a drive in them. They really ARE revolutionary in how they go around corners.
Hey which speedy is that, MK40?
We agree on the problem with screens in modern cars. I like the tactile function of a knob rather than a haptic screen. I also wish that more brands would hide screens away, more like bentley does in the GT. Out of sight out of mind.
The sweet spot would be full comfort, comfy heated and cooled AND MASSAGING seats, real leg room, cargo room, ultra comfort ride, but then having the M/S/Sport button where the suspension lowers a bit, stiffens up, and then unlocks the power from 525-550 all the way to 600-625. I WILL NOT give up any comfort whatsoever in my big SUV nor at this price point. Manufacturers need to dial the stiffness and uncomfortableness completely out of all SUV's. Since almost every SUV is still as a board now, from $15k-$315k, and you're going to be uncomfortable no matter what, you might as well get one with 500+ horsepower. I've had them all, with the exception of these 2 in this video, and imo the best thing out there in this segment in the RR SVAutobiography. All of the power without giving up any of the luxury whatsoever. The bargain choice is the older but still current generation RR Autobiography. NOT the SVR. I'll save the shouty stiffness for my sports cars, give me massaging seats and a fridge and 100 speakers...and buttons and knobs for everything instead of 7 touchscreens that look like trash.
8:30 is the best anyone has ever articulated this predicament. That's the essence of Sam's greatness right there.
I still believe the Urus is better looking and personally I love the RSQ8 for the fact that it carries out elements of the Urus for (in Australia) $250,000 cheaper but I would be constantly kicking myself if I bought it and saw an Urus or a DBX or even a Bentayga because yes it’s half the price but there’s a reason, the Urus is the fastest SUV and the most dramatic, way more than the Audi can do, and it’s kind of like Jeremys comparison with the Rolls Royce Ghost and the Phantom that one day your going to have one on your side and your going to feel more inferior to the Phantom or in this case the Urus no matter what. The RSQ8 is like the Nissan GTR of the SUV’s in the essence that every time someone sees one and someone tries to explain what it is , it’s compared to the faster car like the Turbo S or the 570s, in the Audis case the Urus “It’s the cheaper Lambo” I’ve been told by many people. It can’t be seen as a stand alone car because it’s “The cheaper Urus” That’s why if I was concidering a Super SUV like the RSQ8 but not the Urus or the Bentayga, I would get a Cayenne GTS because it can do everything that the RSQ8 can do but with a Porsche badge and not being compared constantly to the Urus. It looks a lot better, it’s got a lot more character, the interior is less confusing and I’m sure Sam would agree with all those screens in the Audi. And I think it just overall is a better package, I’d rather say I drive a Porsche, than an Audi, I think a Cayenne is cooler than any of its rivals from Mercedes BMW and Audi.
Well done, Sam! Great review, and couldn't agree more.. but this needs a better exhaust with valves
Thanks matey
Sam you found your mojo in new Year...amazing background song and that size comparison with Lamb was a good idea...well edited video, good overall coverage...
You must be one of the highest for production quality 👌🏾
It’s “Bruce Wayne with the ability of Batman”...
Did he say that? I didn’t notice? 🤔 Plus surely Bruce Wayne Does have the ability of Batman! 😜
Honestly, I would almost never watch automotive content with something this outrageous....except for STG content....
You’ve grown on me and find your channel entertaining 👏🏾👏🏾
"golf gti of the hyper suv world" hahaha loved that line
Love the new Audi line. Absolutely in awe of the RS6 avant, especially being a b6 A4 avant owner haha. I think for me, the tail light panel needs to be body color where it's been blacked out, the front emblem needs to be silver or chrome, and the surround to the grill needs to be body color...or even a accent color like a gunmetal....OOHHH wait a black chrome for the emblems and the grill surround, now that would define them but also give it a polished look, yeah yeah that's it. But without It, blends too much with black on black and makes it somewhat pointless. It looks unfinished with those parts black to me. Other then that and maybe wheel selection I love it and would be proud to drive that around everyday for sure.
4:38 reminds me of a C3PO scene of Star Wars 😎
Thought the same thing at like 7:38 “Disaster” :)
Everybody forgets that Audi S8+ from 2018 is 605 hp/ 750 Nm. It is not an RS, than makes it even more crazy. An RS8+ would be a dream if it was ever made.
High-quality video, Sam. Superb production value. Nicely done. But the title opines, "Better than a Lamborghini Urus?" Besides subjective 'feelings' are there other possible arguments to make as to why the RSQ8 could be better? The only numbers you seemed to mention were respective vehicle costs. What about a comparison of performance data? Also, the narration was entertaining, albeit a bit frenetic. In all seriousness, how many cups of coffee or tea did you ingest before or during filming?
Shout-out from a Croatian subscriber 🤗 currently in Austria seeing some amazing Audi RS-s through my glass window 🤗...
Sam, I couldn't agree more. Some touchscreen stuff for some functions, maybe but, even then I'd say please just stick with buttons and dials.. Oh and while I get why the manufacturers make these sport/super SUVs (Income/Money) I just don't get them as a vehicle. Like you are saying, buy an SUV for an SUV not a pretend to be sports car..
I'm surprised how much sense a car can make, actually tick all boxes without any compromise. I feel like that's a rare thing these days.

Love you channel but you got it wrong this time as Audi produced a RS Q3 back in 2013 and now they are on the second edition of this model, for a small SUV it flys.
Review the Trackhawk next, if their offered in UK.
I agree Sam. If I wanted a comfortable SUV, I’d buy a Range Rover or a diesel X5 maybe. I just don’t like the sporty SUVs. It will be comfortable, efficient and a good long distance car. The Stelvio is the exception to this rule. Then for special occasions, I’d buy a sports car.
Amazing video brother
Thanks dude
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Both cars are very beautiful
🔝🔝🔝🔝💥💥🔝🔝🔝🔝
My favorite is the Urus
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
No one with Lambo money is going to settle for the "lesser" Audi version. But I do like the RSQ8, but the Urus just seems a bit more special!
Not everyone is that flashy
@@RichardEnglander The Urus isn't very flashy in stock form. Standard wheels in a silver color looks pretty subdued lol
@@SlimeZ33 it is to my eyes, some people don't want the attention. But each to their own, its great that there are so many options
@@RichardEnglander I agree! The best of both worlds
@@SlimeZ33 id take the hot Stelvio though, I love the looks
Great video as always Sam... agree on the infotainment screen, it’s not legal for us to use a phone whilst driving but we can use a massive 10 inch screen which is arguably more distracting than the phone?
Genuinely being waiting all week for this video to see what you think Sam. I'm so tempted.. Better that a RRS SVR? Classier in my opinion. How bad is the fuel consumption??
Awesome review and fantastically edited !!!
Love it. You can tell how big they are - it doesn’t fit width-wise in a London street parking space. Great vlog - also loving the music too.
Great work Sam as always 👍🏻 can we have more truth bombing Sam more often as your dinner party segment was spot on 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
Really enjoyed the music in this video! Would be great to get the titles of the tracks in the description 🙏🏽
Love the camera work and great review Sam!
Tour bid3os are so good the editing 👍
Love the video production and b-roll!!
Hilarious intro, I had to re-watch those 4 seconds haha
7:33 VAG lane assists are terrible !
Press officers here in Belgium always tell us how to disengage them before they give the keys to the cars.
Great vid. You're 100% right about these blasted distracting touch screens. Porsche have same issue, implementing tech just because they can, but the user experience for me is terrible.
I don’t like SUVs. Won’t change.
Why the hell didn’t you compare the urus to the e-torn? The best audi today.
WoW, London is closer to Bibury than I thought! 😂
Great video, the production level is a breath of fresh air when watching car videos
Love video can’t wait till you’re at a million
Such a great video, the scenery and music;)
Sam! You’d be at a petrol station within half an hour, not in Croatia! 😂
Hmmm, performance SUVs aren't really my thing, I understand the popularity of SUVs, but why try to make a large barge drive like a sports car? However, if I were spending this much money on a super-SUV, I'd save a bit more and get a Urus, because you can get an Audi RS car for so much less and buying a Lamborghini is a more unique experience. You get to join the Lambo community and its more eye-catching, the Urus. But at the end of the day, if you want pace and space, a RS 4 is easily up to the job. Okay, you lose that desirable high driving position, but I'd think you'll enjoy it on a Sunday blast more because it's more dynamic than a tall SUV. But, if you really want a high driving position, get the SQ8, you still get that V8 engine, it's fast enough, it doesn't look much worse than the RSQ8 and you save some money. Also, Sam, hardly any Cullinan customer will be looking at an RSQ8 or a Urus I'm sure, totally different take on high-end SUVs....
or you could buy a normal suv for practicality and experience a real lambo by buying a huracan
@@nerowolf8006 Is the Urus not a Lambo enough? Bear in mind, a Huracan and an R8 are very similar underneath.
@@magnustan841 its as "Lambo" as an suv will get. But lets be real a huracan or aventador are undoubtedly a lot more exciting both visually and in the way they drive. Plus the sound of something like a huracan is way beyond the Urus
Now I understand that most people who can afford a Urus can afford a supercar in addition. But to your original comment of saving up to get the Urus... Id save up, skip the Urus, and own 2 cars. One that is a thoroughbred supercar like a huracan, r8, 458 and own a practical daily. That way you get the best of both worlds and your only additional cost would be insurance. For the price of 1 Urus, you could get an audi q5 and a slightly used supercar
There is an rsq3 both the new and old model
the RSQ3 has been out for years @Seen Through Glass so I think your "first RS Q product" statement is a bit inaccurate... But it's miles better than the Lambo. :). Of all the VAG brands Audi represents the best value to me. The quality is excellent. Interiors are amazing. Dealers treat you with respect instead of like it's your privilege to buy their car (which Lambo and Porsche dealers definitely do!). On my fifth straight Audi. :). All but one either an S or an RS. :)
