2019 Audi RSQ8 To Have 670 HP Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Powertrain

Caught on camera during development testing, Audi Sport's future Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 rival, which is clearly influenced in design by the RS Q8 concept of 2017, will inherit the twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine and accompanying electric motor of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid from Volkswagen Group stablemate Porsche.

In the super-saloon, the V8, which is force-fed air by a pair of twin scroll blowers, produces 542bhp and 568lb ft of torque, while the electric motor injects a further 134bhp and 295lb ft of torque through an eight-speed twin-clutch automatic gearbox.

Gee - and it will still look like every other new Audi - boring. Of course - it looks like they are putting Fiero cladding on the sides - maybe that could help!

I really, really despise this current infatuation with these so called "Sport Utility Vehicles", nothing more then minivans glamorized so the husbands don't feel neutered driving them.
Nothing "Sport" about them, used for all the wrong reasons, limited way of making them stylish and unique, all look basically the same .
I miss the time when sedans, coupes, station wagons ruled the roads, trucks were bought by people who truly needed them for their utility and not for conquering shopping mall parking lots.
Now they even make "Sport utility Vehicle" in convertible form, pure idiocy.......
