What is it
The name is a little confusing
Usually the bigger numbers mean bigger vehicles
But not here
This RSQ8 is based onthe Q8 which is bigger than the Q5, but smaller than the Q7
But there IS no RSQ5 OR RSQ7
So this is the sportiest SUV Audi makes
Cousins
And under the skin it shares its platform and engine with some legends
Same platform as the Urus, Cayenne, and Bentayga
Same engine as the Panamera, Cayenne, Bentayga, Continental, and Urus
