This 2023 Audi RS Q8 presented by Audi Flemington is worth a look with an exceptionally rare Cambridge Green exterior — a colorway that feels more bespoke than more typical British Racing Green inspired hues like Audi’s Goodwood Green. Coupled with its muscular proportions and aggressive RS cues, it’s the kind of understated yet powerful RS that speaks to enthusiasts who want performance without looking like every other Q8 derivative out there in some shade of the German rainbow of grey.

Under the hood sits Audi’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 with quattro all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic, pushing around 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque — the same propulsion that makes the RS Q8 one of the quickest SUVs on the planet, capable of sprinting toward 60 mph in the low 3-second range. That engine, paired with RS-tuned adaptive air suspension and dynamic all-wheel steering, results in an SUV that can hustle on a twisty road as convincingly as it cruises down the highway. 

Inside, the RS DNA carries through with sport seats, carbon fiber and Alcantara-trimmed surfaces, all in black with red stitching. And while any interior would look handsome in this configuration, you have to wonder how Audi’s RS option Cognac brown wasn’t the more obvious choice.
