The RS Q8 was unveiled at the 2019 LA Auto Show in November.
The engine is shared with the RS 6 C8 and RS 7 4K8, a 4.0 litre Biturbo V8 mild-hybrid petrol unit with 591bhp and 800Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque.
Like the SQ8, performance is sent through the 8-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox to its quattro all-wheel drive system.
Audi claims 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.8 seconds.
The top speed is electronically limited to 249 km/h (155 mph), but the optional dynamic package increases it to nearly 306 km/h (190 mph).
A live-link suspension is featured at the front and the rear along with adaptive air suspension standard with controlled damping.
The interior features Audi's MMI dual-touchscreen setup with RS specific displays, as well as RS-embossed sport seats in black pearl Nappa leather and Alcantara and an RS leather-covered flat-bottom steering wheel.
Styling differences include an RS-specific grille, larger air intakes, bespoke trim strips and an available sport exhaust system with black tailpipe trim.
The standard wheels on the RS Q8 are 22-inch, 10-spoke aluminum wrapped in 295/40-series tires, while 23-inch wheels are optional.
Deliveries in the UK will start in early 2020.
