Well Joe, Audi have pulled it off again it's just one amazing vehicle and in black it's totally gangster. I have been looking on-line and I found a 68 Plate Audi A8 55 Quattro with just under 2000 Miles on the clock from Audi Liverpool for £48,000 thats great value for money. I think it must have been a ex-demo car but looked great and again in black and wow prices are dropping. Well Joe a great Video as ever and all the best Alan B
Cheers buddy! Yeah insane how quick the big bardges depreciate... My current 7 had an RRP over 103k, it ended up costing (on finance) around £65k brand new!!! Madness
@@JoeAchilles1 if you had to pick this or a BMW X5 50d which one would it be? These are 2 of my choices of 3 for me, the wife and 2 young kids…outside choice is a Panamera.
Love your videos especially with Brendog, always love watching your videos and listening to the random stuff you guys chat about but its also genuinely interesting, so refreshing to see petrol heads having general car chat and not take themselves too seriously and having a laugh. Would be great to see video with Brendog in his Landrover or maybe his van.
Not a fan of SUVs either per se, but I think the taut styling really works on this car and the cabin is sooo special. Also, I've seen this car in metallic orange online and It works well as it's such a modern design, think it would be stunning on-the-road.
Joe you are spot on re the elbow rests. My previous R8 V10+ had a shiny spot on the leather near the window where I would rest my arm. I've just replaced that with an RS4 and discovered the plastic around the window is not kind to your elbow!
Great vid guys, do you think the extra £25k that the RSQ8 is compared the the current petrol SQ8 is worth it? Think it’s only half a second quicker 0-60, feel that maybe the SQ8 is better value for money? Seems a lot to pay more….?
Surely youre better of buying a Q8 and ticking every options box? Or waiting for the rs q8 instead of buying this. But who knows.. rich people tend to have weird habits.
I don’t think the Audi armrest problem is to do with height; I think they’ve gone for style over ergonomics with it. I’m 5’7 but couldn’t rest my arms in a TTS I owned and in an A5 courtesy car. I’ve never had that problem in the BMWs I’ve owned!
I hear you but totally different cars, go and drive them both and report back. X3M and X4M horrendous ride quality, this is incredible. You can't compare them....
Joe Achilles Been driving X3M for 2months now it’s a bit hard on bumpy roads. But we do will in Uk roads r 💩 some places. Got the power and handle well. But understand 1 is a cruiser for family others a weapon
@@JoeAchilles1 BMW M sav/suv why better..u will be stressing and flipping at the traffic lights seeing a litle vwskodaseat suv looks the same😁😁😁 So four me the BMW our MERCEDES BENZ
I know bud, I have a petrol 6.2L n/a v8 on the drive way, on a cruise i can get roughly 18 mpg and when having fun 8-12 mpg, I just thought with it being diesel and new technology plus turbos and the ability to de activate half the cylinders it would do much better, may as well get a petrol v8 and enjoy the proper sound
In all seriousness, who in their right mind pays in excess of £100k for an SUV? 🤷♂️ It’s unnecessary and quite comical (the CEOs at the big marques must chuckle themselves silly) Let’s all be honest, these ‘Chelsea tractors’ are not worth that money. They’re not used for sport either; simply shuttling back and forth to Waitrose - a statement of ones status and “lifestyle”, as opposed to practicalities. Got £100k? Lovely. Buy an M4 and keep the change 👌
Joe Achilles | Well, what such a person would first need to do, is accept that they don’t need a ridiculous SUV. They’re never going off-road. They’re never going anywhere. Other than Waitrose, Costa or Virgin Gym. Joe, we need less of these silly things on the road. Farmer Giles can have one to potter around tending his flock. I get that. Purpose validated. But Verity from Virginia Water? We’ve enough Challenger tanks in Surrey.
I own an SQ5 and with this being an “8” they really need a bigger trunk, roof slopes off too soon... which unfortunately is why, BMW is doing better in the performance SUV market
Nor true about BMW X5 / X6 .... trunk of BMW looks visibly smaller than SQ8 - ca. 10% Space in 2nd row in SQ8 is again much bigger than in X5/X6 BMW X5/X6 is a kind of top premium SUV while SQ8 fully packed is half class higher .... closer to Luxury segment. And confort and almost no noise inside when you drive 180-200km/h .... that is not possible in BMW SUVs even at 150km /h .... Diesel engine (some like / some not) is great .... max power almost on demand instantly .... with range even 800-900km .... and consumpion 8-12L/100km .... -20-40% vs. petro engines ... By far prefer SQ8.

I been told by Audi the SQ8 doesn't have the fake cabinet sound so what you hear is pure engine and exhaust sound 👍😎

2 of the 4 exhaust pipes are 'real' ! Win for Audi unlike the S6/S7 fakery
It should be illegal for manufacturers to have fake ports, intakes and exhaust.
Great vid guys, do you think the extra £25k that the RSQ8 is compared the the current petrol SQ8 is worth it? Think it’s only half a second quicker 0-60, feel that maybe the SQ8 is better value for money? Seems a lot to pay more….?
06:50 It's like a Spaceship! Stunning.
Nice car tech fest Audi look forward to seeing Your video on the RS SQ8 that’s going to be a right monster I bet great video 👍
Surely youre better of buying a Q8 and ticking every options box? Or waiting for the rs q8 instead of buying this. But who knows.. rich people tend to have weird habits.
Yeah but the Q8 doesn't come with this incredible V8, the RS will be at least 30% more again..
Rode a bike at a wedding eh Joe? Well done, but a gentleman would never tell anyone ;)
😂😂😂😂🤷♂️
Oh shit it's bren lol didn't expect that
Yewwwwww 🤘🏻 good luck Bren Dog at Ramage. Yes Joe to any future vids involving mountain bikes 👊🏻🤘🏻
Totally agree heads up display is great. Bit of a big old bus to navigate the country roads or villages for that matter. Enjoying your vidios.👍👍
I was like no fucking way that’s Brendon Fairclough wtf then I remembered you ride mtb too 😂😂 sick!!
😂👌🤷♂️

Waiting for that e-bike vs car+bike episode...👌🏻
1:52 when you know your target customer :D
That price I would buy X3m or X4m
They're only £80k so you could live happily ever after (with a buggered back)
Joe Achilles don’t believe in spending 80k on Diesel cars when you can get a fun M for the same if not lower price
I hear you but totally different cars, go and drive them both and report back. X3M and X4M horrendous ride quality, this is incredible. You can't compare them....

So four me the BMW our MERCEDES BENZ
“Feels like a million dollars” especially those plastic shifters
Yaaaayyyy BRENNNNNDOGGGGG
sound actor in exhaust, you can play with vagcom and make it louder haha
Talk about Torque!! :)
a Lot of money but im sure they will sell out like most big audis do, however I thought it would be closer to 40/45mpg
There are many factors that influence mpg
such as weight it weighs 2.3 tonnes, aerodynamics, it's a big SUV and it has a V8.
I know bud, I have a petrol 6.2L n/a v8 on the drive way, on a cruise i can get roughly 18 mpg and when having fun 8-12 mpg, I just thought with it being diesel and new technology plus turbos and the ability to de activate half the cylinders it would do much better, may as well get a petrol v8 and enjoy the proper sound
Does it drink more in dynamic
I drove a new x5 m50d for a bit, and it also had fake noise on the cabin in sport mode.
Yeah lots of it going around at the moment
How long did you keep Brendan waiting in the trunk while you were describing the SQ8? LOL!!
Haha there was a sneaky cut in my edit 😉
@@JoeAchilles1 thank goodness for that! Sneaky Joe!
Very nice and I’m sure it will sell but not my bag. SUV’s are for either fat boys or family wagons.
I’d rather have an RS4 estate and a Lotus
👍
Great car but I feel for the price there's much better cars out there, just my opinion great video mate

Can you explain how a two door sports car would suit someone who wants a large SUV?
Joe Achilles | Well, what such a person would first need to do, is accept that they don’t need a ridiculous SUV. They’re never going off-road. They’re never going anywhere. Other than Waitrose, Costa or Virgin Gym.
Joe, we need less of these silly things on the road. Farmer Giles can have one to potter around tending his flock. I get that. Purpose validated. But Verity from Virginia Water? We’ve enough Challenger tanks in Surrey.
nice looking car
Looks great....however, getting parked at the supermarket promises to be a « challenge »
Tasty but will come with price tag to suit, sir. How much wonga is it. North of 100k large?!!
I'm sure we mention the price of it a few times....
@@JoeAchilles1 sorry please accept apology is a Sat night music on 3 year old terrorising me videos sadly on mute. Should know better.
Haha no worries at all
Far too expensive - a turbo petrol Q8 however would be a very nice thing (and they are about half the price )
I want one but can’t afford one, same old story then.... 🤷🏻♂️ That also applies to the RSQ3 unfortunately 😒
One day you will afford one king keep believing in your dreams and work hard for it
Hate fake in cabin sound
Looks so small and low compared to its rivals
I own an SQ5 and with this being an “8” they really need a bigger trunk, roof slopes off too soon... which unfortunately is why, BMW is doing better in the performance SUV market
You would just buy the more practical Q7?
Nor true about BMW X5 / X6 .... trunk of BMW looks visibly smaller than SQ8 - ca. 10%
Space in 2nd row in SQ8 is again much bigger than in X5/X6
BMW X5/X6 is a kind of top premium SUV while SQ8 fully packed is half class higher .... closer to Luxury segment.

Diesel engine (some like / some not) is great .... max power almost on demand instantly .... with range even 800-900km .... and consumpion 8-12L/100km .... -20-40% vs. petro engines ...
By far prefer SQ8.
Read Audi Q8 faults owners review
Let’s just say I’m glad I never bought one !!!
Has the chin guy been smoking something and that is apart from the chewing on camera. very very disrespectful.
Car is fine but it is overpriced almost all the S and R'S audi are overpriced
👎👎
