      Mansory’s modifications give Audi's RS Q8 a staggering 986 HP along with yellow accents.

      Exterior enhancements feature black grilles, yellow wheels, and distinctive spoilers.

      Inside, the SUV is adorned with yellow leather, creating a striking interior.

      Nearly a year has passed since Audi revealed the updated Q8 and RS Q8, and as expected, Mansory has already customized one. True to Mansory's style, their version of Audi’s super SUV is bold and extravagant, albeit somewhat less over-the-top than some of their previous creations.

      As usual, Mansory has extensively modified the Q8’s exterior, interior, and performance. Let’s begin with the aesthetics. The front end now features a blacked-out grille and a carbon fiber Audi emblem. The bumper has been redesigned with new air intakes, numerous carbon details, and additional LED daytime running lights at the bottom for that extra “look at me” effect. It presents an aggressive appearance, yet remains within acceptable limits.

      Bold Styling Choices

      The modifications continue along the sides. Mansory has added a striking set of black and yellow wheels, new fenders, and unique side skirts that could easily attract attention. The exterior alterations are rounded off with dual spoilers on the roof, a small lip spoiler, and, naturally, Mansory badges to remind you of what you’re looking at.

      A custom diffuser and three rather unusually arranged tailpipes complete the exterior updates. Honestly, we believe the quad tips of the original RS Q8 would have looked much better, but that’s characteristic of Mansory—always a bit "extra."

      Yellow Dominates the Interior

      Now, let's discuss the interior. Mansory has truly excelled here, covering nearly every surface in eye-catching yellow leather. Seats, door panels, dashboard, steering wheel, and pillars—everything is drenched in yellow. They even added yellow leather floor mats, which might look impressive initially but are sure to become a mess the moment you hit a muddy area. So much for luxury; let’s hope they are at least easy to clean.

      Numerous performance upgrades have been implemented as well. The standard Audi RS Q8 provides a robust 632 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque in its Performance trim. However, in pursuit of something extraordinary, Mansory has installed larger turbochargers, modified boost pressure sensors, a sports air filter, new water-cooled intercoolers, a reworked ECU, and decatted downpipes. The result is an astonishing 986 hp and 922 lb-ft (1,250 Nm) of torque.

      There has been no official announcement regarding pricing, but if you're in Europe and feeling particularly adventurous (or reckless), you can always reach out to Mansory. Just be prepared for a pricing surprise that could be quite shocking.
