The RS Q8, as you may be aware,
shares most of its core hardware
with the Lamborghini Urus but
there are subtle differences in 01
tuning and calibration, and the
Audi scores a 48 V mild-hybrid
system that recuperates energy
under braking and shuts down the
twin-turbo V8 if you take your foot
off the throttle at speeds between
55 and 160 km/h.The engine
also switches off when station-
ary at traffic lights but it fires up
automatically as soon as the front
02 03 04
camera detects the car ahead
