The Audi Q8 e-tron model series now has an even sportier appearance

The new model year brings a brand-new exterior package option for the Audi Q8 SUV e-tron and Q8 Sportback e-tron. The S line competition exterior package enhances the electric luxury models’ dynamics and emphasizes the Q8 family’s sporty character. The package includes specific body components such as a widened body (similar to the S model), a body-color Singleframe, and exclusive 21-inch five-spoke black wheels. Painted brake calipers with the S logo, a host of carbon-fiber details, and an edition-specific door LED projection add further striking accents. The carbon add-on parts are also available for the Audi SQ8 e-tron family as part of the new Carbon Style package.

The 21-inch wheels in a five-spoke design come in black and emphasize the sporty and individual appearance of the Audi Q8 e-tron. The tire size is 285/40 R21, as on the S model. Behind the spokes, another detail comes into focus: The black brake calipers feature the red S logo.

Components made of lightweight, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer – called carbon fiber or carbon for short – have been Audi’s standard in motorsports for decades. Customers who choose the S line competition exterior for their Audi Q8 e-tron model will enjoy many seamlessly integrated edition-specific components made of this lightweight and durable material. This sharpens the car’s sporty profile while simultaneously emphasizing its high-tech character. Carbon components include vertical aero elements near the front air curtains, side mirror housings, and trim around all four doors.

The Audi SQ8 e-tron models also feature the new carbon components. For the dedicated sports models, the SQ8 SUV e-tron1 and SQ8 Sportback e-tron2, the new Carbon Style package includes all the carbon-fiber components from the S line competition exterior.

The S line competition exterior for the Audi Q8 e-tron models also includes all the other parts of the S line exterior: The adaptive air suspension sport, a sports suspension based on the air suspension system, allows the customer to lower or raise the ride height in stages. Load-specific, automatic height and damping control give the car excellent driving dynamics and exceptionally high comfort.

In the dark, the LED door projection draws attention with lettering that spells out “e-tron edition”. This feature illuminates the entry, helping to avoid puddles and dirt and emphasizing the unique design of the Q8 e-tron. The tinted rear, door, and side windows in the back of the car block UV radiation and prevent unwanted glimpses inside.

The S line competition exterior option for the Audi Q8 e-tron models is now available to order at 7,190 euros. The Carbon Style package for both versions of the SQ8 e-tron1,2 is already available at dealerships for 2,990 euros.
