    0:00 -Intro
    0:56 - Price
    Starts 126k
    X5M starts 122k
    GLE63 starts 127k
    1:33 - Power (technically)
    591 hp
    X5M 617 hp
    GLE63 603 hp
    Also listed as the slowest 0-60 with 3.8 (3.7 BMW, 3.4 AMG)
    But in real-world testing the Audi was actually the fastest for C&D
    2:23 - Trunk space
    30.5 cu ft
    34 cu ft for X5M
    33 cuft for GLE
    Air suspension raise and lower
    3:04 - Tech
    Normal Audi UI actually not that advanced anymore
    It’s still great and all you need
    But relative to the other 2 it’s not as flashy or gimmicky
    But your RS monitor is really cool - telemetry & temps
    Wireless ACP & AA
    But what about all the great things about this RSQ8?
    GOOD:
    3:49 - The engine
    Company like the Panamera and Cayenne Turbos, the Lamborghini Urus, the Bentley Bentayga, and Audi’s own legendary RS6 & RS7
    Performance is blistering getting to 60 in a conservative 3.8 sec according to Audi
    591 hp
    590 lbft
    And now with a 48V mild hybrid system
    But it’s the Sound & drama for me
    Exhaust and shift sound
    4:40 - The looks
    Looks great and mean
    Split trunk/grille thing from R8
    Headlights do dances
    So do taillights
    Black optics & carbon optics
    6:14 - The duality
    Best balance of Audi and RS
    Air suspension
    Rear steer
    Fast & fun
    Dynamics package gets special sway bars and differential
    7:17 - Rear seats
    Great size, surprisingly
    Power shades is new
    Window controls for each side
    Heated seats
    4 zone climate
    7:57 - Luxuries
    Interior design & materials & accents
    Black of course
    Red stitched honeycomb
    For RS
    S usually get diamond stitched
    RS embossed
    Heated & cooled & Massage
    But that’s enough talk let’s grab the keys and go for a spin
    8:48 - POV Drive
    Duality of sport and comfort SOOO well
    Good front end
    Faaasssstttttt
    0-60 in 3.8 allegedly
    Car and driver got closer to 3 flat
    vs X5M Comp
    vs GLE63 AMG
    Vs RR Sport
    Vs Cayenne Turbo

      I drove all three and purchased the GLE 63s. All terrific vehicles and real world performance is negligible. I preferred the esthetics, seat comfort and infotainment system of the Mercedes. Can’t go wrong with any of these mind blowing SUV’s.

    Your comments on how it drives like a normal luxury vehicle in everyday driving are spot on. I drive a 2021 Audi RS7 and when people ask me about it, my initial response is that it drives like any other car….until you floor it. If I drive it calmly and normally, it’s really no different than any other car. But if I put it in RS or dynamic mode, floor it, and drive it the way it was designed, it instantly morphs into a totally different vehicle and experience. That’s why I love it so much. It’s like having two cars in one, or the best of both worlds.

    Completely agree on the duality. Had a GLE53 AMG and it rode so stiff it was hard to steer over the slightest bump. This thing goes from soft to fast like a Porsche.

    #1 in its class by Car and Driver. Of course the crap about 0-60 times is downright silly. How often are you going to get away with flooring it? Take it to the track? I’m thinking the Q8 or maybe SQ8 just so i get the engine. Buy a car for the track if you want to fly
