Audi promises that the Q8 will provide “an extremely accurate behavior” on the road, not least because of its developed, changed, and rich in aluminium lightweight platform. The so-called Audi Space Frame uses about 15 percent of cast aluminium and 14.4 percent high-strength steel hot forming. Used architecture ensures that Q8 will weigh only 2.145 kg when equipped with the 3.0-litre TDI engine and get a aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.34. Very high quality figures for such a large car.

 

The V6 diesel engine got a mild hybrid technology that includes a grid 40 volt, lithium ion battery, and a belt alternator-starter. This system allows the SUV to travel with the engine shut off completely at speeds up to 160 kilometers per hour and to recover up to 12 kW during braking. More real advantages of the system are expressed in reduced fuel consumption by about 0.7 litres per 100 kilometres.

The 3.0-litre V6 TDI variant Q8 50 TDI delivers 286 horsepower (213 kW) and 600 Newton metres of torque, which is sent to all four wheels through eight-speed automatic transmission Tiptronic and the Quattro AWD system from Audi. The sprint from 0-100 km / h takes just 6.3 seconds.

 

In the early months of 2019 to the engine lineup will be joined by a somewhat weaker version of the 3.0 TDI and the petrol version of the 3.0 TFSI power of 340 HP (253 kW).

 

Model coupe-SUV will be assembled in Bratislava, Slovakia. New Q8 will debut on the German market and other European countries in the third quarter of the year. In Russia, presumably at the same time. U.S. sales are scheduled to begin in 2019.
