The RS Q8 Performance is the top trim of Audi's flagship performance SUV, introduced for model year 2025 to replace the base RS Q8 in the US lineup. It uses the same shared 4.0 TFSI V8 architecture as the SQ8 and RS Q8, tuned further, mirroring the same performance-variant treatment Audi applied to the contemporary RS6 Avant and RS7 Sportback for the same model year. Audi describes it as the most powerful combustion-engine model Audi Sport has ever built.
It adds standard carbon-ceramic brakes and all-wheel steering over the outgoing base RS Q8, on the same 8-speed Tiptronic automatic and quattro all-wheel drive with sport differential.

Yes. The optional Dynamic package plus raises the electronically limited top speed from 155 mph to 190 mph and adds active anti-roll bars; the standard carbon-ceramic brakes are included regardless of the package.
