Audi RS Q8 updated by Lumma Design: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds

The Audi RS Q8 became famous among the most prestigious preparers in the world. The latest SUV from the Ingolstadt brand has a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, offering 600 hp and 800 Nm of torque available between 2,200 and 4,500 rpm. However, the CLR 8 RS is even more brutal.

The RS Q8 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, while the sprint from 0 to 200 km/h takes just 13.7 seconds. It reaches a maximum speed limited to 250 km/h, although if customers opt for the dynamic package, the figure increases to a not inconsiderable 305 km/h.

It is a real monster, but the Germans at Lumma Design are aware that there are many customers who think little and always want more and more power and performance. That's why the specialist offers on this occasion its CLR 8 RS package for the model. It results in an RS Q8 with steroids both in terms of aesthetics and performance.

On the outside, the package that widens the body is particularly striking. It significantly enlarges the model in the height of the front and rear wheel arches. This allows it to accommodate generous wheels that reach an impressive 24 inches. If the customer wants a little discretion, they can also opt for others of ‘only’ 22 inches.

Other aerodynamic improvements include custom bumpers, side skirts, a lighter hood, an aggressive front splitter, a muscular diffuser and four tailpipes. The icing on the cake are the two spoilers, a more discreet one halfway up the rear, and a huge one over the roof.

All components are made of high quality materials and can be finished in exposed carbon fiber.

Lumma Design also offers a wide range of accessories for the interior of the model, as well as performance improvements for the V8 engine. Power rises to 705 hp and 910 Nm of torque. Unfortunately, we do not know the performance figures, but the final bill amounts to 38,000 euros for the complete package.
