Abt RSQ8 Legacy Edition 760HP Super SUV with Extreme Power

If there’s one thing Abt knows how to do, it’s taking an already ferocious Audi and cranking the intensity up to eleven.

The RSQ8 Legacy Edition (RSQ8-LE), is a high-powered, limited-run beast that takes the Audi RSQ8 and dials up the aggression, both in terms of styling and performance. With only 125 units being built, this exclusive super-SUV is expected to sell out quickly likely before many even hit production.

A Familiar Yet Sharper Design

Abt isn’t one to shy away from bold aesthetics, and the RSQ8-LE is no exception. The aerodynamic kit, finished in matte carbon fiber, gives the already imposing Q8 an even more menacing stance. The front bumper features a more pronounced splitter, while the sculpted bonnet inserts add to its aggressive look. Of course, Abt badges remind you this isn’t your standard RSQ8.

Rolling on massive 23-inch gloss-black alloy wheels wrapped in 295-section rubber, the RSQ8 Legacy Edition makes a statement before you even fire up the engine. If you’re after a subtle, under-the-radar performance SUV, this isn’t it.

Power Boost to 760HP – Supercar Territory

Under the hood, the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 gets Abt’s Power R performance upgrade, pushing output to a staggering 760 horsepower and 723 lb-ft of torque. That’s 120 horsepower more than stock, transforming this nearly 2.4-tonne machine into a missile on wheels. Abt claims the RSQ8-LE surges forward with “unstoppable force,” and given the standard RSQ8’s impressive performance, it’s not hard to believe.

Expect the 0-62mph sprint to dip closer to 3 seconds rather than the original 4-second mark. This super-SUV doesn’t just move it launches.

To ensure the RSQ8-LE isn’t just a straight-line monster, Abt has tweaked the suspension with direct input from Audi. While the core hardware remains unchanged, adjustments to the air suspension and active anti-roll system should make for sharper handling without completely sacrificing ride quality.

However, comfort isn’t really the focus here, Abt prioritizes performance and exclusivity over plush cruising. If you’re after a luxury highway cruiser, the standard RSQ8 is probably the better bet.

Limited to 125 Units – Starting at €95,900 (Excluding Installation)

Exclusivity comes at a price, and the RSQ8 Legacy Edition starts at €95,900 before installation. That’s a steep premium, but for those who want a supercar-fast SUV with a touch of rarity, it’s a compelling package.

Abt has a long history of turning Audis into high-performance showstoppers, and the RSQ8-LE continues that tradition. With killer looks, monstrous power, and an ultra-limited production run, it’s bound to be a collector’s item. If you want one, act fast—because they won’t last long.
