Audi introduced the sports coupe-crossover SQ8

Audi presented a charged version of the Q8 coupe-crossover, which received the letter S in the name. The car is equipped with a diesel V8 with dual supercharging, as well as adaptive air suspension with adjustable stiffness.

The SQ8 diesel eight-cylinder engine has a displacement of 4.0 liters and is equipped with a dual combined supercharging. In the lower speed range, the air is pumped into the cylinders by an electrically driven compressor, and in the upper one, a traditional turbine is connected. The output of such an engine is 431 hp. and 900 Nm.

In addition, the SQ8's powerplant is a hybrid system. The internal combustion engine is assisted by an 8 kW electric motor generator. The engine is paired with an eight-speed "automatic" ZF, and the traction to the wheels is distributed using the proprietary quattro all-wheel drive system in a 60:40 ratio. The SQ8 accelerates to 100 km / h in 4.8 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km / h.

The SQ8 also features adaptive air suspension with variable damping shocks. And as an option, the car can be ordered with a full-steering chassis with swivel rear wheels, as well as an additional sports package, which includes active anti-roll bars and an electronically controlled cross-axle differential.

The appearance of the charged SQ8 on the Russian market is still in question. Recall that the usual Q8 is available in Russia with two motors at a price of 4,990,000 rubles.
