If you want flared wheel arches and a questionable hood attachment, Lumma Design is much obliged to imbue a bit of attitude into the Audi Q8. The CLR 8S also includes a front lip spoiler, matching rocker panels on the sides, a bumper apron with an integrated aerodynamic diffuser, and a roof spoiler.
But wait, there’s more! Four tailpipes are also provided, and as far as options are concerned, Lumma Design is much obliged to fit 22-inch rims on the luxurious SUV. CLR 22 LX is how they’re called, measuring 10 inches in width at the front and 12 inches at the rear. These wheels are wrapped in 285/40 and 325/35 performance tires.

Those looking for more visual drama can upgrade to the CLR 24 RS wheel design, featuring a matte-black look and central locking mechanism. These babies measure 10.5 and 13 inches in width while the tires measure 295/30 and 355/25, respectively. In other words, the low-profile rubber will most certainly ruin the ride quality of the Q8.

“A wide array of fully tailorable upgrades for the interior” round off the list of options, and this gets to what’s hiding under the hood of the vehicle. Lumma Design offers enhancements for both the turbo diesel and turbo gasoline engines in the Q8, which currently range from 231 to 340 PS from the factory.

The SQ8 will follow suit later this year, leveling up to eight cylinders and mild-hybrid assistance for a grand total of 435 PS (429 horsepower) and 900 Nm (664 pound-feet) of torque. More to the point, it’s the 4.0 TDI that Audi also utilizes in the SQ7. The eight-cylinder lump also happens to be the most powerful turbo diesel ever offered by Audi in a road-going vehicle.

Not long now, the four-ringed automaker will take the veils off the RS Q8. Rumors suggest that Audi will level up to 600 ponies or thereabouts, a lot of suck-squeeze-bang-blow in comparison to the entry-level model. Some people expect 650 PS (641 horsepower) from a twin-turbo V8, the same engine that Lamborghini utilizes in the Urus.
