Audi RS Q8 Performance Overview
Audi’s RS Q8 performance profile spans 2020 to 2025 within the 4M/4MN generation, covered here by 5 verified tests. Across those tests, the model stays tightly grouped around super-SUV pace, with 0-60 mph results ranging from 3.5 to 3.1 seconds and an average quarter-mile of 11.68 seconds at 117.7 mph. From launch, the RS Q8 used a twin-turbocharged electrified V8 setup, with output rising through the run from 591 to 631 hp, and every tested example in this sample uses a hybrid powertrain.
The early benchmark came with the 2020 RS Q8 SUV at 3.2 seconds to 60 mph, establishing the first recorded pace for the nameplate. Mid-cycle testing shows only minor variation: a 2023 RS Q8 SUV ran 3.5 seconds to 60 mph, while a 2024 RS Q8 Performance recorded 3.3 seconds. That consistency carries into the quarter-mile data as well, reflecting a narrow spread across trims rather than distinct performance breaks.
By 2025, the RS Q8 Performance set the current high point at 3.1 seconds to 60 mph and 11.5 seconds @ 119 mph in the quarter-mile. As it stands today, the 4M-generation RS Q8 remains a hybrid twin-turbo V8 model with tested performance clustered in the low-3-second 0-60 range.

How we verify Audi RS Q8 performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Audi RS Q8 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
