Reports suggest that Audi will be showing an RS Q8 Concept at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

Earlier this year at the Detroit Motor Show, Audi showcased the Q8 concept previewing an all-new luxury flagship SUV. Now, reports are indicating that Audi is preparing to unveil an RS-infused Q8 concept at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March 2017. The RS Q8 Concept will preview a production version that will likely arrive in 2019, following the expected launch of the Q8 in 2018. The RS Q8 will rival the likes of the BMW X6 M and the Mercedes-AMG GLE63 Coupe.

According to reports, the RS Q8 concept will feature a biturbo 4.0-litre V8 engine with at least 445 kW and 700 Nm of torque. Power will be laid down using an 8-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive will ensure brisk acceleration with the zero to 100 kph sprint expected to take less than 5 seconds before reaching a top speed in excess of 300 kph.

In terms of styling, the RS Q8 will feature a more aggressive exterior design to match its performance and it will wear a wider grille, front splitter and trapezoidal headlights with Matrix LED technology.

The RS Q8 concept will be shown alongside the RS Q5 and the facelifted RS3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show. We will keep you updated as more details become available.
