My friend let me borrow his 700 horsepower Audi RSQ8 Suv for a review and I was really gentle on it. Now, we did find out our definitions of gentle were very different but we are still friends. Enjoy!

I would get the RSQ8.
Every now and then I one posted on Craigslist, OfferUp, and Ebay.
That dragon orange color is cool👍
more car review please
A bentayga speed
Remember the days in the early 2000s when a car running less than 15 seconds was considered super fast? Haha now an Altima can do less than 15
Range rover SVR.
I love mine, it's had a little tweak .
Alex, I enjoyed your video. Now let's go back to the garage and finish up that beautiful V12 SL65.
CL65.
☺☺😊
I predict six or seven years from now the car wizard will do a video highlighting an Audi RSQ8 bought by Hoovie that will, undoubtedly be mechanically totaled.
A nickel says it will be a white one with a Volicity tune😂
100%, dealer prices on repairs are absolutely mad, just for a headlight you will be spending thousands..
@@manicap I can't see the drivetrain lasting long enough to worry about headlight prices🤔
i say 2 years all that power eventually will fall apart, yes hoovie be finding one on the cheap and saying what a hell of a deal it was then the car wizard will go it only cost 72K to fix it! wait we cant get some of the parts
@@danielmckenzie6858 Two years? The way that rear end squats already, I give it six months 🤔
That screen would so trigger my OCD! I would be cleaning that sucker every day.
They actually give you a cloth to wipe down the screen..
*i like how he doesnt try to be funny like samcracc*
My favorite part about Alex is his sense of humor unlike this guy 🔼
@@Samcrac 🤣
Each of them has their styles. Uncle Rich has been going for inscrutable recently, though. As the Beatles said: ".... Nothing is real . . ."
@@Digital-Dan riches hair is so real though
@@Samcrac stick to raising chickens and butchering cars.
Alex's next episode will see him searching for a wrecked on of these on Auto Tempest to get one.
I thought the same thing 😂🤌🏻🇨🇴🙏🏻👍🏻
That, or copart auctions.
should be easy cars like these depreciate in value quickly because people beat the heck out of em. plus some kid with that much power wrapped it around a tree
Those Tiptronic ZF transmissions Never dissapoint, every german car ive had, they have been smooth as ever
ZF 8HP is Frank's red hot, put that shit in everything
I test drove a 435i with a ZF8HP transmission and for the first time ever, I wouldn't miss the manual. Loved it.
yeah, perfect for tailgating others wherever they go
@@procerus3654 What .? Lol
Anybody got that new tune that increases the clamping pressure and makes it change like that Audi? It makes it more reliable even. Some of the UK guys have been applying it to the BMW cars, like the M140i
Audi spends millions designing their suspensions and than people lower them and ruin the ride quality. For what just to say your car is lowered.
Ehm.. they are designed so good that they continuously break just in stock form
Agree, people can’t resist messing with perfection, to look “cool”.
It’s a lowering module that runs on factory air suspension. Nothing is ruined.
You can buy the cars off them and put the factory suspension back on if you would like.
Why would you lower the RS6? Its stance is perfect.
It’s not for stance, it’s for handling..it’s not like it’s springs. it’s a module.
Idk man, aesthetically I’d like it 0.5 - 0.75 inches lower. Fender gap could be a tad better managed.
@@sheshellsseasells my understanding is that the handling is already excellent, but to each their own, right?
@@rickbdatsun this is true, but the module doesn’t mean it stays lowered. It is adjustable. I’m guessing for track days.
The warm glow of a check engine light on a brand new car will let you know it’s tuned 😂
Ah yes, the comfort of voiding warranties and pissing off dealer mechanics 😂
No that’s just reminding you it’s a Volkswagen lol
They do that stock when ACC is on.
@@Powersproductions130 Adaptive Cruise Control does that??
It's not on when running
Here in Finland these start at 217 k euros. Taxes (118 keur of those) included. 😂 And with options you add to their prices also taxes ~80 %. For example the ceramic brakes are 21 keur
I know you love to use your Vbox for 0-60 times but you need to get your own Dragy, the best part is that you can take a video of the run and show the numbers on screen, and then you can add that recording to your videos, it's really awesome!
If we continue with this DemocRats party in the WH, we would be driving bicycles in the future...
Fact.
Sick. I just bought a used 2017 Q7 Technik. Speaking of depreciation, the guy who traded it in optioned it out to the sum of $115,000 Cdn. I paid 53,000. It only had 16,000km.
good deal fellow canadian. Im trying to convince the wife to give up her grand cherokee
I will pay 10k to your car in about 2 years.
@@rayj33 jealous much?
@@JordieG8 reality hurts doesn't it?
@@rayj33 probably not as much as when you try and look at yourself in the mirror every morning realizing how miserable you are...
How long is it going to take to get rid of the need for unpleasant noises before one can enjoy a car? Back in the 50's, the cars with the biggest engines were also the quietest, which was really great. I am happy that my EV, modest in performance as it is, was made before the little bit of noise was mandated to warn pedestrians. I enjoy it the most with the windows open in parking garages, where every tire scrch is audible. Anyway, the end of the ICE age is upon us, like it or not.
Flush away all the vermin
The only limitation there will be, will be the limitation of competent drivers that can safely operate the vehicles.
Those plebs can't afford this so not to worry.
@@rxtuninginc8444 money can’t buy skill
@@phillipvelednitskiy6881 actually, it can. There are plenty of performance driving schools that they could go to. Some even come free when you purchase certain cars.
30 years ago someone had a dragster ride (Front wheels in a T track). Always wanted to go on it.
That is a beautiful SUV and the best thing she is very quick I love it
Believe it or not fiat is the same way, flash the transmission and gopedal, unleash the beast. All their models are beasts with just a simple tune
Hahahahahahahahaha. NO!
Alex you need an Audi for the channel!!!
He’s got enough cars that need engine out service right now.
@@daveh2612 you make it seem like every Audi requires an engine out job... coming from an owner of 4 previous Audis and 2 current Audis. i’ll be the first to tell you it’ll run forever if it was taken care of by the first owner.... i only buy Audis from CPO or from the original owner.
@@loganclaproth i’m not saying every Audi but I’m saying that working in the salvage industry I see lots of really nice low mileage Audis and BMWs that are mechanically totaled. And both companies have done some pretty dumb things with very expensive engines.
fink u missed point.... soon driving will only be recreational..... cos WFH and covid
Scamdemic deluxe!

Hey Alex, nice intro.
Where will we be in 15 years? 🤔 Well have you seen the latest on how EPA is cracking down. Not looking good for modded cars!
Audi has already bailed on the lower touch screen. Dangerous and terrible on the move.
My boy be stealing daddy's Doug's viewers
Most of us can hardly stand Doug anymore.
I feel more inclined to watch now that I know that we have the same first name lol
I get to see a 21 RSQ8 everyday :)
I sure hope that thing sounds better in person than it does on camera. Sounds like it's about to launch a piston through the hood at any moment.
These are some real cars kids
forget the doug score, introducing the alex smile-o-meter lol. I don't think the score for the audi would be as high as the score for the properly running e55 wagon though.....
I don't think you should have been worried about that Maserati that tried to pass you. You had two Nissans pass you 😂
If no ones racing these and the slow trans is not a big deal, why's it have 700hp?
They want it to break faster.
I’m going to go out on a limb here Alex.
That looks fun!
ICE FOREVER !!!!!
These are neat, but I think it would make more sense as an "RSQ7" - kinda like the X5M versus the X6M. These slope-roofed SUV's are weird. You take a practical thing, then make it way less practical. Just very odd, and seems like everyone's making them now.
13:30 - Yah. My car has over 300 ponies and it's probably considered a slow car in the states. Here in europe it's a lot faster than pretty much anything else. Even my daily with 150 has twice as much as the average car.
Yah it's crazy how there so different.
$130k sticker and they didn't ceramic coat the centre console screen to stop the fingerprints... 🤦♂️
Awesome Video. I love love love the RSQ8. Thank you for sharing this
Beautiful! and sounds hangry too!
Was just looking at the Instagram post on this then I got the notification 🤣
Please only CL65 content
Peep the og 9-3 in the background😍
Lol real car guy here, you my friend have a taste for the finer thing life
Good eye! And a great car
Q8 (Kuwait) because you need to own an oil producing country to run one!?
I find myself watching this, but thinking about the wagon.
I love the intro haha 😄
Audi stole that front design from Lada Vesta
I like the Saab Convertible in the background!
In 10 years electric, then nuclear war, so in 15 mad max, coal power. Just kidding. I think electric and hydrogen
All right! So where is the reassembly video of the V12 7,000 dollar part replacement going back together? Sure was lookin Forward to hearing that inimitable sound.
It doesn't exist yet. I'm waiting on lots of parts
@@LegitStreetCars Thanks 👍😄
I was really gentle with your car...................10% rubber left on tyres...............believe me.
Alex have you thought of working on a 450 SL ENGINE REBUILD THANKS
Very fast... but it looks like a dead ringer for my brothers 2013 Ford Edge Sport.
WoW good call, after you mentioned it you're 💯 right.
wow, when this hits 60 a tesla plaid was already there two seconds ago.
Imagine your with your family un this suv and a jerk on a mustang want to race you and your wife say " take him to gapplebee " lol
Another fun video. I’m 67 and have been a car guy for decades. What one can buy just of of the showroom is simply amazing. Than you again.
In 10 to 15 years you'll be riding a horse. (EMP)
Wait $130k for an RSQ8? Damn, here in The Netherlands it costs €240k with some options
Burning the Maserati mid review 😂 hell ya
Oh Alex, you know damn well you are going to be driving your C63 amd reveling in that V8 engine.
@@Private011 the C63 is a V8. My step-father gets a new one every three years. The car he got from Hoovie is a V12. But Alex has a C63
We're doing this for science...
New channel "legit science"
Love the channel!👍👍
I love the 2.7 second (0-60mph) launches on a stock Mercedes 2018+ Mercedes E63S AMG. Dynos show Mercedes Severely underrated it, considering the Mercedes GT63S is the Fastest Production 4 door sedan on the Nurburgring 🤷♂️😂 and it has the same exact Power Train minus the Active-Aero & Suspension
Scotty: endless money pitt
These vehicles are designed to be Leased only. If you buy one after lease you should take a part time job to pay for the very regular maintenance!
The Mancuso courtesy cars aren't bad...
Did u need an oil change? Come on down and take this courtesy vehicle for a spin while we complete your service
Some good looking wheels for this SUV would be the Weld RT-S S71.
I think those would look better on Hellcats! But how about BBS CHR?!
It's been 20 model years since the Prius came to North America, 9 years since the Model S, 8 years since the i3. All electric cars-including HEV, PHEV & PHEV-still only comprise a single-digit percentage of market share. Think about that.
What was up with the stickers for the windows? Recent tint job?
ICE will have a place in performance cars for at least another 10 years... BUT they will be Hybrid. You just cannot beat the efficiency of an electric drivetrain... it enables so many good things... performance as well as economy.
I weep for the future in terms of cars. EV's are boring and they will all be the same essentially. No fun things to mod in the engine bay, etc. People are so focused on becoming lazy (think WALL-E) with all the automation and advancements. I'll hold onto my gas and diesels as long as possible :)
Why would anyone get that RSQ8 at over 500 lbs heavier than the RS6 and WAY less pretty?!? I just don’t get it!!
I’m guessing more interior room and easier ingress/egress. Same reasons you may get an RS6 over an RS7.
Yeah Audi nice review
140k car, engine light on. ahhh euro's, never fail to dissapoint.
I live in south Africa and I have to say electric in 15 year is a deep pipe dream, we just discovered building and tuning, well we've been in it for a while but accessibility is only growing now. And our electricity infrastructure is terrible. Importing a Tesla here costs as much as two of those Audis or the cost of a Lamborghini Urus and some change so no
gas cars will always be, you can keep them money pit Audi and electric cars, this country power grid will never have the power to support electric cars on a mass scale, qatrillions of dollars would be needed, and coal still our friend, fracking WAS making energy affordable, oil is life and always will be
130k Car...
Twin Turbo v8..
Mesh Rear Seat Pockets... Now that`s Special!
Oh man I would trade the 2015 ML63 for that I think 🤔
Alex, pls explain how car companies do this variable torque distribution in a 4WD. I have read about VW to use a visco(se) clutch. Do japanese carbuilders use different methods to achive that goal?
Wauw Alex, what a great experience! I’m so jealous
*Trackhawk with 707HP stock laughs*
Even more of a pos than the Audi. Facts
Hoovie thought it would never happen and look at him now
Alex, I have a garage with 15 vintage motorcycles, all two stroke, manufactured from the early 60's to the mid 00's. No way in hell I will ever give up riding these things - and you should have the same attitude with your ICE four wheel cages ("biker slang" for automobiles). Sure I just bought a hybrid Avalon - because it was a bargain, not because I'm a tree hugger - it is something my 89 yo mother will enjoy driving.
I'm not yet at the point of pulling the trigger on a '15-16 e63S AMG, but I hope to be soon (your influence has a lot to do with this). Performance will always be a requirement. Heck, my 25 year old Explorer (w/ 500K mi) has a FoMoCo performance header and Borla exhaust - because I could. No one can stop me.
Time for you to move away from Chi town. Outside of LA/CA, Chicago/IL is probably the worst place to live in regard to rules and regulations controlling/ruining your life. At least move to IN and commute in ... once you taste a bit of more freedom than you have now, you will understand.
And yes, more updates on the SL65 please. Thanks for all you do, and I truly hope you have an awesome week!
Hahaha in Denmark! you pay around 390.000$ if you want it on the road.... :( yes and we are next door neigbors to Germany!! it this damned cars - Taxes... luckely you can Leasy these kind of cars for around 75000$ downpayment, and 2000$ a mounth....
Ah SO spoiled... Gets out of a 2021 RSQ8, into his TESLA, then wonders how he can drive anything else.... Try getting in a 2015 Civic saddled with a CVT. The HORROR!!! ;)
You take a look at what happened in Texas a few weeks ago and I highly doubt everyone will be driving electric. What will probably happen is us, the wage slaves will be driving electric and monitored/tracked/surveilled/charged per mile (for our safety) and the monied class will be driving ICE’s
I drive a Mercedes now, but my 1st love was Audi. I had a ‘00 S4 6 speed and back then it was a blast after some tuning. This RS is insane and man I’d take one!!
Keep up the awesome work Alex love your channel!!!
I think ICE's will still be here in 10 years, not only do I really want to see that Koenigsegg 3 cylinder 600hp motor take off, I also don't think we have the infrastructure in place yet for electric and won't in only 10 years time. If that's not in place, people won't buy EV's, even if manufacturers try jamming them down people's throats. At least, in the US and IMO. Personally, I don't even want an electric car.
that base price is very good considering the Dutch price tag of 204.315 euro or converted back to dollars 243.201 us dollars!?! a whole free car with 20.000 dollars to spare!?! thats insane
Those co2 taxes truely have gone insane here in Holland....
Hi Max…Alex you rock…I hope we still have Combustion engine vehicles in 15 years..I may be an outlaw if they try to do away with them…
Looking forward to the RS6 content. I read the comparison in Motor Trend to the Mercedes and the Porsche wagons. I like to hear your take on it.
In 15 years there will be ICE beaters on the road still, and legendary ICE cars will be like your dads 60s 70s muscle cars, garage queens, take them out on the weekend -- why not also? You enjoy them more that way, they become more special, but there is 0 chance that electrification won't fully take over, it makes sense, they're better in every way other than the "soul". The "soul" should be experienced when you have time to enjoy it on the weekends. Also, it will be funny to see our kids reaction to daddy's stick shift Hellcat in the garage, like will they care? I think maybe but I don't know it will be as impactful as living during the ICE era.
I can see cars running on hydrogen before I see all electric. In which case, the engines would stay the same, except they would now run on bomb material instead of gasoline and would have zero pollution. They're already doing it with Semi-trucks. Electric battery driven trucks will never be feasible no matter what Elon Musk says. Power to weight ratio says all you need to know, batteries, no batteries will ever work. Not a chance, they're just too heavy for what they give you. It's as simple as that. Hydrogen cells, yes. Hydrogen is one of the most volatile substances known to man. To replace all the cars with electricity; that electricity has to come from somewhere and we're back to the grid again. If your car takes a 220 feed all night to charge it, you're better off with gasoline because that is a hell of a lot of electricity. And there is no plan to make that even possible. There's no plan to make a plan.
I would think a hydrogen infrastructure for filling stations would be a lot cheaper than building out the entire country's electrical grid which was built in the 1950's. It would cost 10's of trillions of dollars to do that. The country doesn't have that kind of money and the left is staring at some imaginary grid that doesn't even exist. They have no answers and no money. They'd rather pay for sex change operations instead, just ask them. The grid would have to double in size and so would the amount of generating stations. And what will they run on? If not nuclear, than don't bother. Filling stations would just have to retrofit to add hydrogen pumps and that's it. They did it with E85, they can do it with hydrogen. I think the pumps themselves would need very little retrofitting. And the power required to make hydrogen can be localized. Not spread out across the entire grid.
I’d take the RSQ8 over the Urus especially since I prefer the Audi’s styling over the Lamborghini.
Congrats!!! No plastic piece broke off from that thing making it immobile. They don't know how to make brittle-proof plastics for cold climate. And for a few cents worth plastic, you are gifted with a massive leak. And you need to tear the entire engine apart frequently to perform the repair works. Give it some time and it will become an endless money pit. The worst reliable car brand. Meh.
Audi RSQ8 is cool but there's just something about a wagon not to mention the resale on it will most likely be insane. It dawned on me its been 2 years since you bought the cdi's damn time flies, tripped over your channel about the 402k miles E55. I guess it does when your having fun, keep it up.
All right which 81 of you guys gave this video a thumbs down? Raise your hand right now! You should be forbidden from ever watching car guy videos. Shame, shame...

Just bought a 23 RSQ8. Cant wait for delivery and this is my first daily performance car. This is going to be a fun ride
When I worked at Great America in the mid-80's (Probably about the time you were born), I would go into the park at off hours with our free pass and ride The Tidal Wave from the first car over and over again. Yeah, you had the loop, but I was in it for the acceleration. What I loved was that I didn't have to go through all the rest of a roller coaster. It was accelerate hard, hit the loop, go backwards and come to a stop. It took very little time, so I could do the acceleration over and over in a little bit of time. I don't even remember what the performance was now, but this was the 80's and no car I was in could touch that acceleration. Here's the same coaster at a different park. th-cam.com/video/7b18tCPmwgQ/w-d-xo.html
Hey legit street cars I remember how crazy all the amgs were in the early 2000s that you work on. Back then Audi was sorta in the background. Now Audi makes the most crazy cars that are as mind blowing as the amgs were back then. Hope to see more of these audis on your channel man love em
Audi made in Slovakia. Engine and transmission made in Germany but everything else made in Slovakia. For over 100k € thanks but no thanks!
It’s all good
I hate that the German brands are way cheaper in USA than here in EU, where such car costs waaaay more and is supposed to be made here.
