Audi takes charge with the Q8 concept at Detroit
Dynamic, highly efficient and extremely comfortable: Audi is presenting the Audi Q8 concept at the 2017 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).
Serving as a prelude to a production model that will be introduced in 2018, it combines the spaciousness typical of an SUV with the elegant lines of a coupe and will tap into a new segment for Audi by offering an alternative to the classic design of the full-size class.
Propulsion is provided by a powerful plug-in hybrid with 330 kW of system output and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of torque.
“The Q8 concept is an Audi in peak form. It demonstrates the strengths of our brand in both technology and design while providing a glimpse at a future full-size, production SUV,” said Dietmar Voggenreiter, Member of the Board of Management for Sales and Marketing at AUDI AG.
“With its next-generation display and control solutions, we are enabling customers to experience connectivity in a whole new way.”
