The Audi RS Q8 performance makes 471 kW (640 PS), 20 PS more than the final Audi R8 V10 performance quattro’s 620 metric horsepower. That is a peak-output comparison—not proof that the SUV is faster: Audi quotes the R8 at 3.1 seconds from 0–100 km/h, versus 3.6 seconds for the RS Q8 performance.

Audi announced the updated RS Q8 and the higher-output RS Q8 performance on June 25, 2024. The “2025” label is model-year framing; the debut announcement was made in 2024.

At launch, Audi listed prices from €141,900 for the updated RS Q8 and €155,700 for the RS Q8 performance in the market covered by its announcement. Those are dated, market-specific launch prices, not current universal prices. Audi’s June 25, 2024 announcement has the launch details.

The comparison is about peak output, not overall speed or like-for-like vehicle performance. The RS Q8 is an SUV with a twin-turbo V8; the R8 is a sports car with a naturally aspirated V10. Audi quotes 0–100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and a 331 km/h top speed for the R8 V10 performance quattro coupe. For the RS Q8 performance, Audi quotes 3.6 seconds and a standard governed top speed of 250 km/h, rising to 280 or 305 km/h with optional versions. The R8’s quoted acceleration and top speed therefore exceed the RS Q8’s, despite its lower peak power.
