The RS Q8 isn't a revolutionary leap beyond the SQ8, but there's no doubt that it's a damn cool SUV. Is it worth an extra $40k? On paper, no; in your heart, quite possibly. For what it's worth, all American examples of the 2025 RS Q8 come with the Performance spec, which means extra power and torque come standard on our shores. But again, the SQ8 already has a whole lot of turbo-V8 power and torque...you take our point.
