Audi Q8 sport concept Gallery

Audi has already given us a glimpse of its future, range-topping SUV, the Q8, and now it's teasing us with that that might look like as a hybrid. The Audi Q8 sport concept takes the company's luxury SUV and throws in some "mild hybrid technology". In this case, that means a 3.0-liter TFSI six-cylinder engine with an electric motor good for 20 kW.

Together, they're enough to push the Q8 sport concept from 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds. A top speed of 170.9 mph is promised. Total range with both gas and electric in play is more than 745 miles.

The claimed result is the performance you'd expect from an eight-cylinder engine but the frugality of a four-cylinder. That's without any sort of compromise on driving performance or cosseting. Space for four inside is combined with plenty of LED mood lighting and technology, with an updated Virtual Cockpit and lots of touch screens.
