Audi RSQ8 | Crossing the Line

We review the 2021 Audi RSQ8 to show just how far these SUV, CUVs have come in terms of performance. This coupe SUV style is a popular segment, with a starting price of $115,000 one can assume that the target market is small. The question became is it necessary? Can you get the same enjoyment out of an SQ8? Others to consider are the BMW X5M, Mercedes AMG, Durango SRT and Porsche Cayenne GT.

I would've bought this for my ex wife's boyfriend if the restraining order was down. This could've been yours Jessica!!!

All this power and capability will be appreciated when driving to the spa after some time spent at the bridge club.

Totally respect your opinion, but I bought this car a couple of months ago…just not in a shitty Daytona Gray. If you need to pull a trailer w/ your motorcycle, or put your bike rack in the receiver hitch…the RS6 is not an option. The SQ8 is a far better value, but it looks too boring. The RS Q8 is a sleeper super car. Most people have no idea I blew $150k on a car (which is stupid), but they look at it and know it’s special. You’re crazy if you think the 23” wheels mess up the ride quality. This is the smoothest riding car I’ve ever owned and the back seat room is basically the same as having a 7 series beemer. Hatch space is slightly compromised, but so is having a 3 row Q7, where only 2 rows are really useable. The is a great looking SUV, and fast as hell. I bought the ceramics because I refuse to pay someone to wash my car and I f’ing hate brake dust, with a passion. It’s the best $10k I’ve ever spent! By the way, it stops on a dime. I really wanted a 911, but I needed one car that could do it all….and this is it. PS. The BMW and Mercedes equivalent are hideous. I’m 100% satisfied w/ my purchase. It is an amazing car and I look forward to getting in it every single morning.

The worst part is that when I try to flex this at Whole Foods, only actual Audi fans will care or even know they're looking at the special version of a whale.

23" wheels lol... Every year wheel sizes keep going up and up. Remember when having 17's were considered "sport"?

This review is why I've been waiting 6+ months for delivery of an RS 6, rather than letting my dealer talk me into an RS Q8.

I just want to thank you for not having the same "chillstep" music as every other car channel.

Audi RSQ8, the lifted pick-up truck for the corporate office worker

I think I commented about 3-4 yrs ago saying that the feel of your videos was too ridged and the jokes were too forced. Watching y’all progress and grow as a channel, I can see how much you all have grown and I place your channel at top 3-5 channels that I enjoy on YouTube. Keep up the great work.

I love your dynamics and comedy. Awesome content as always

That last send, Mark smiling and Jack saying Jesus Christ, you can just tell the car got to absurd speed effortlessly.

Nothing like waking Up at 5:50 AM, getting to the toilet, and watching a new video from you. Life is good

[bassandtrebleclef]

I bet this is super reliable as soon as the warranty is done.

[TheSirviceroy]

Love you guys’ videos. Like two (-very competent) old timers. Keep up the good work👍

[jonathanpeterson]

Audi makes great sedan/wagons. I hate how everyone is trending to SUV’s. Definitely a wagoon is a smarter choice.

@3:55, when he says V8 and casually goes ahead! That death glare 😆

[yoloomis]

I like this channel. I don’t compare it to the other automotive review channels because this one is more “adult”. No frills just facts and real good points that one should consider before purchasing some of these vehicles. I would ask that you guys go a little more into cost of ownership with some of these vehicles. Thank You again for not trying to make a movie or comedy special to get views.
You guys drive on the street, like most people who purchase vehicles do. No useless exhaust sound checks but you review the cabin and that’s important to EVERY driver.
The clear and concise information is why I come here. Wishing you continued success!

I see Jack's auctioneer lessons are helping trim down the length of the interior segment. Well done!

An RS6 in the "dumpster on wheels" form factor. Just what the world needed.

[derbigpr]

For people saying "oOoOh a mOdEl X iS quIckEr tO 60" ...who cares? This is a far quicker car in any scenario other than off the line, and a far better car in every other way too. Remember at the Nurburgring this huge SUV is only 3-4 seconds per lap slower than the 1000+ hp Model S plaid, so the Model X can't even fit in the same sentence with it. This car out handles and runs circles around the top Model S spec, let alone the Model X.

Crossing the line beyond taste and class, for sure.
