The E-Tron S is priced at $98,105 as tested, and the base MSRP is $89,295.
The steering gives a precise feeling but could have a faster ratio.
Braking is good. The regenerative braking is incorporated well, and it can be increased with downshift paddle.

It offers both front and rear space and plenty of cargo space.
The Audi RS Q8 has a four-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 591 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque.
It is a mild hybrid.

Its interior has more charisma and also has optional carbon fiber and leather features.
The 8-speed automatic shifts quickly, and the RS Q8 weighs about 500 pounds less than the E-Tron.
