Audi's upcoming Q8 SUV has been previewed again, this time as the new Q8 Sport Concept at the Geneva Motor Show.
The overtly sporting 350kW variant of the luxury SUV runs a newly developed petrol-electric hybrid driveline that is claimed to endow it with 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.7 seconds, along with an overall range of up to 1200km in combination with an 85-litre fuel tank and 0.9kWh lithium ion battery pack.
The Q8 is scheduled for a production debut in 2018, and while officials at Audi's Ingolstadt headquarters in Germany initially hinted the new SUV would wear 'RS Q8' badges, it now appears it will be marketed under the 'SQ8' name.
The Q8 Sport Concept is outwardly distinguished from the earlier Q8 Concept by a series of stylistic upgrades aimed at endowing it with a more sporting appearance than its milder powered sibling. Most prominent is its restyled single frame grille, which features a black frame and honeycomb lattice insert.
