Audi Q8 is one of
those typical studies that closely mirror the production model. It
doesn’t take much imagination to visualize a more realistic version of these
concepts and such is the case with Ingolstadt's premium coupe-crossover.
By changing the appearance of the headlights, and
toning down the grille, side mirror casings, and wheels, X-Tomi has taken the
show car a lot closer to its production brethren, which will sit atop of the
current Q7 in Audi's range.
The Q8 will go after the already established BMW X6
and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, though it will be longer and wider than both. Planned for a release sometime in 2018, the
rakish Q8 will share its mechanical package with the latest Q7, offering a
broad lineup of gasoline, diesel and hybrid powertrains.
For now, we've only heard plans for an SQ8 that will utilize the
same 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 diesel engine found in the SQ7, which accelerates
from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds.
