The ‘Audi Exclusive Edition’ allows customers to easily experience personalized vehicle design and ordering through the ‘Audi Exclusive Order’ program. This model is released in limited quantities and can only be ordered through the official Audi website.
The exterior of the second model in the Audi Exclusive Edition, the ‘Audi Q8 50 TDI Quattro Exclusive Edition’, features an all-black concept with the ‘Mythos Black Metallic’ color, and the interior offers two color options for the seats, center armrest, and door trims, allowing customers to choose between Audi Exclusive ‘Cognac Brown’ or ‘Crimson Red’. Additionally, it is equipped with upgraded 22-inch matte bronze 5-V spoke star style wheels and black Dinamica headlining compared to the existing Q8 model.
The ‘Audi Q8 50 TDI Quattro Exclusive Edition’ is powered by a 3.0L diesel direct-injection turbocharged (TDI) engine combined with an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission, boasting powerful performance and high efficiency.
The maximum output is 286 horsepower, with a peak torque of 61.18 kg·m, applying Audi’s unique full-time four-wheel drive system, Quattro, to provide a dynamic and stable driving performance. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds, has a top speed of 241 km/h, and achieves a combined fuel economy of 10.1 km/l (urban fuel economy: 9.1 km/l, highway fuel economy: 11.8 km/l).

This exclusive edition is equipped with an array of innovative Audi safety and luxury convenience features. When stationary, the rear-mounted radar sensor detects rapidly approaching vehicles or bicycles in blind spots and triggers a temporary door-locking warning system, illuminated side mirrors, and door LED flashing signals. The Audi Side Assist warns of vehicles approaching from the sides or rear while driving.
It is also equipped with front and rear parking assist systems, surround-view displays, and a 360° camera to aid in safe and convenient driving.
