0:00 -Intro

0:56 - Price
Starts 126k
X5M starts 122k
GLE63 starts 127k


1:33 - Power (technically)
591 hp
X5M 617 hp
GLE63 603 hp
Also listed as the slowest 0-60 with 3.8 (3.7 BMW, 3.4 AMG)
But in real-world testing the Audi was actually the fastest for C&D


2:23 - Trunk space
30.5 cu ft
34 cu ft for X5M
33 cuft for GLE
Air suspension raise and lower


3:04 - Tech
Normal Audi UI actually not that advanced anymore
It’s still great and all you need
But relative to the other 2 it’s not as flashy or gimmicky
But your RS monitor is really cool - telemetry & temps
Wireless ACP & AA

But what about all the great things about this RSQ8?


GOOD:

3:49 - The engine
Company like the Panamera and Cayenne Turbos, the Lamborghini Urus, the Bentley Bentayga, and Audi’s own legendary RS6 & RS7
Performance is blistering getting to 60 in a conservative 3.8 sec according to Audi
591 hp
590 lbft
And now with a 48V mild hybrid system
But it’s the Sound & drama for me
Exhaust and shift sound


4:40 - The looks
Looks great and mean
Split trunk/grille thing from R8
Headlights do dances
So do taillights
Black optics & carbon optics


6:14 - The duality
Best balance of Audi and RS
Air suspension
Rear steer
Fast & fun
Dynamics package gets special sway bars and differential


7:17 - Rear seats
Great size, surprisingly
Power shades is new
Window controls for each side
Heated seats
4 zone climate


7:57 - Luxuries
Interior design & materials & accents
Black of course
Red stitched honeycomb
For RS
S usually get diamond stitched
RS embossed
Heated & cooled & Massage

But that’s enough talk let’s grab the keys and go for a spin


8:48 - POV Drive
Duality of sport and comfort SOOO well
Good front end
Faaasssstttttt
0-60 in 3.8 allegedly
Car and driver got closer to 3 flat
vs X5M Comp
vs GLE63 AMG
Vs RR Sport
Vs Cayenne Turbo


11:59 - Conclusion
