The upcoming Audi SQ8 has been spied completely devoid of camouflage, ahead of a likely official reveal later this year. Spotted in Europe, this white prototype looks pretty similar to standard Q8 variants, with the exception of the quad-tipped exhaust down the back. Behind the large alloy wheels we can also see brakes wearing the Audi Sport badge – another subtle hint at this vehicle's added performance potential...
It goes head-to-head against the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, but can it put up a good fight on the performance and handling front? Paul Maric finds out.
A prototype believed to be the upcoming Audi RS Q8 has been spied with less camouflage, giving us a better look at the upcoming flagship four-ringed SUV. Snapped alongside an early development vehicle for the next-generation RS6, the RS Q8 has dropped more than half of the swirly black-and-white wrap that disguised most of the vehicle we spotted in May – though there aren't really any surprises in terms of the overall design...

The Audi Q8 has been unveiled after a long teaser campaign including two concept cars, sketches galore and a YouTube mini-series.

The Audi Q8 has been teased once again, this time via a revealing sketch of the new crossover's front end. As we've seen in earlier spy photos, barely disguised prototypes and teasers, the production version of the Q8 will be very faithful to the 2018 Q8 Concept and Q8 Sport Concept vehicles...

A development prototype believed to be the Audi RS Q8 has been spied this week, giving us a first look at the flagship version of the company's upcoming SUV coupe. While the quad tailpipes out the back would indicate an 'S' model not an 'RS', the design of the front intakes and massive brakes with six-piston calipers up front hint at a Rennsport variant, and photographers noted a "deeper sound"– Audi tried a similar trick with an RS Q3 prototype spotted recently...
Audi has teased what appears to be the upcoming Q8 crossover on social media this week, ahead of a potential debut at the Beijing motor show. While the German marque doesn't explicitly say the vehicle in the images is the Q8, though the side profile of the vehicle in the shadowy images – accented by the fluorescent tape tacked onto certain areas of the body – strongly suggest this is the case...
A prototype believed to be the Audi SQ8 has been spied on snowy European roads this week, previewing the German marque's upcoming flagship SUV coupe. Distinguishing this heavily-camouflaged vehicle to other Q8s we've seen are more aggressive bumper treatments and quad-exhaust outlets – a signature design cue of the Audi Sport 'S' models...

While this latest prototype seems to be wearing the same exterior and camouflage combination as the car spotted on the Nurburgring in May, the car's interior now seems to be close to production specification...
The upcoming Audi Q8 has been spotted almost disguise-free on a highway in Europe. The photo was taken by user Beckervdo and posted on the forums of AutoPareri. Although the car was only photographed from behind, and there's black tape disguising the tailgate's portion of the tail-lights, it's clear the production Q8 will be eerily similar to the concept car...
The upcoming Audi Q8 'coupe SUV' has been spied on the Nurburgring. This latest prototype is wearing about the same level of disguise as the vehicle spotted back in February. So, while we can't see any new details about the exterior, a shot taken at the Volkswagen Group's Nurburgring compound confirms without a shadow a doubt the new Q8 will have frameless windows...
Audi has a few SUVs in its line-up: there's the Q2, Q3, Q5, Q7 and upcoming Q8. But what about the gaps? Where are the Q1, Q4 and Q6? Well, they could be on their way sooner than you'd think. Audi chairman of the board of management Rupert Stadler told CarAdvice at the 2017 Geneva motor show that the brand is looking to add new models to appeal to different buyers in different regions, with the spots either side of the new Q5 the ones that are garnering the most attention internally...
The Audi Q8 just got a little more interesting, with the German brand unveiling the new Audi Q8 sport concept at the 2017 Geneva motor show.
