According to Autocar magazine, the production RS Q8 will allegedly adopt the same 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 used in the RS6, RS7, S8 and Bentley Continental GT, although final power output remains known. The concept Q8's 3.0 TFSI petrol / electric drivetrain could also be offered along with the regular V6 and V8 TDI engines used in the Q7.
Like normal RS models, the RS Q8 will likely receive a bespoke exterior treatment as well as the interior, with the concept's 23-inch wheels, full-width rear LED lights and Matrix LED headlights also rumoured to make it into the final product.
