The Porsche Taycan's German Cousin

It is a luxury electric SUV that offers a smooth ride, plenty of space, and a long range. It's not the cheapest EV on the market. Pros: 1. Smooth ride 2. Excellent handling 3. Long range 4. Premium interior 5. Advanced technology Cons: 1. Expensive 2. Narrow rear seat 3. Range can be reduced in cold weather Overall, It is a great choice for those who are looking for a luxurious, high-performance electric SUV.

Audi RS Q8 First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh04 Sep 2020

No, this is not an Audi Q8 in gothic makeup and a pair of heels too high. This is the genuine item that’s underlined by – too much power, too much torque, too much money, and too much fun! This is the Audi RS Q8.
