Audi's premium SUV, the RS Q8, is ready for modification by aftermarket specialists. ABT, for example, is releasing a Signature Edition model. "Racing Utility Vehicle" is how the RS Q8 is described, and it's powered by a mighty 790 horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8.

The 738 lb-ft of torque is likewise a significant increase. Audi RS Q8 now accelerates from a standstill to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds, saving 0.6 seconds over the car's official sprint time.

It has a top speed of 196 mph. ABT modified the intercooler and turbos, as well as the motor's ECU, to achieve these results. A stainless steel exhaust system with enormous quad tips sporting 105-mm finishers was added as well. Carbon fiber may be found almost everywhere.

ABT's RS Q8 modified body boasts a plethora of add-ons, from the obvious front splitter to the forceful rear diffuser. 
More muscular side skirts and 23-inch wheels with 295/35 R23 rubber are visible from the side profile. Carbon fiber is used throughout the cabin, including on the hood latch, seat sides, and the center console's back.

The high-performance Audi RS Q8 SUV isn't exactly inexpensive. Currently, the bundle is being sold by the tuner for €129,900 ($136,600). €316,480 (around $333,000) is the total cost of the vehicle. Limited to 96 Audi RS Q8s, the Signature Edition pays homage to the year of the company's founding, 1896.
