Audi RSQ8

At £158 per bhp, the Audi RSQ8 presents an interesting question in a 600-car catalogue: does its position in the market justify the numbers it brings to a dream garage? With a used price of £95,000, it sits at 295 of 600 for price, meaning it is more expensive than 305 cars in the collection. That places it firmly in a considered purchase rather than a simple specification chase, and the answer is yes, because its appeal comes from how several strong attributes meet in one package.

The RSQ8 ranks 205 of 600 for power, placing it in the top 34% of the catalogue with 600 bhp available from its 4.0-litre V8. Its 800 Nm of torque and 3.8 second 0-100 km/h time show why the car occupies a distinctive space among the collection. It is not defined by a single headline figure, but by the combination of figures that are less common when viewed together. Only 74 of 600 cars pair a V8 with AWD, and 86 of 600 are twin-turbocharged V8 cars. That combination is the detail that separates the RSQ8 from the wider field.

The engineering layout reinforces that position. This is a 2020 Audi RSQ8 with a 5-door SUV coupe body style, a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, and AWD. The catalogue places V8-powered cars at 216 of 600, while German cars account for 197 of the 600 vehicles. Audi itself contributes 25 cars to the collection, giving the RSQ8 a defined place within both its manufacturer group and the broader catalogue.

Its performance is measured rather than exaggerated. A top speed of 250 km/h places it at 414 of 600 in that category, showing that outright maximum speed is not where it makes its strongest statement. Instead, the RSQ8 is compelling because it combines SUV practicality with a rare configuration: a twin-turbocharged V8 and AWD in one car.

Returning to the opening figure, £158 per bhp looks different after considering the complete picture. The RSQ8 asks for a serious investment, but it answers with a specification mix shared by relatively few cars in the collection. In a dream garage, owning this Audi represents a choice for concentrated capability, a vehicle that changes the balance of a collection by bringing together space, power, and a distinctive technical recipe.
