Audi RSQ8 Carbon Black

The RSQ8 Carbon Black is one of the sharper ways to specify Audi's V8 performance SUV — the Carbon Black pack replaces chrome brightwork with gloss black trim and adds blacked-out exterior elements that do a reasonable job of disguising the Q8's considerable bulk. This 2024 example is optioned further still with the RS Styling Pack in Red and red-painted RS brake calipers, creating a deliberate chromatic contrast against the black bodywork that reads as factory-intentional rather than aftermarket.

The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 delivers 592 bhp and 800 lb-ft of torque through the Tiptronic automatic and quattro all-wheel drive, covering 0–62 mph in 3.8 seconds and reaching a governed 155 mph. A single owner has covered 18,915 miles since new — light usage for a 2024 car — and the specification includes 4-zone automatic climate control, wireless charging, heated front seats, and the Parking Assist Pack. Audi Smartphone Interface provides Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.

At £89,750 this sits well below the cost of a new RSQ8 Carbon Black with comparable options, and the modest mileage from one careful owner means the powertrain is still early in its operational life.
