When an SUV Touches Your Soul — 2026 AUDI RSQ8 PERFORMANCE

It’s time for another emotional episode here on the channel. This time the brand new 2026 Audi RS8 Performance is the muse. Specced in the Audi exclusive colour Amethyst pearl effect, it looks lovely in the snow.
I go into the details of this monster, and break down the pros and cons of it. Overall, this is one of the greatest Audis ever made. It’s that good!
And it’s currently the best sounding new Audi by far. Also, it still has the lovely interior, proper steering wheel, lovely user interface, and a beautiful design.
I take it to the snowy Tatra mountains and give it a go.
Enjoy the video!
