The only real sacrifice the 2024 Audi Q8 and SQ8 require comes by way of the pocketbook. Audi's range-topping coupelike luxury SUVs are barely different from the Q7 and SQ7 they're derived from.

Now, thanks to a YouTuber known as Butter da Insider, via Mopar Insiders, we've got what's claimed to be MSRPs for those First Editions; someone apparently took a picture of a Stellantis computer screen with the details. According to the dealer guides, the First Editions will only offer three exterior colors: Diamond Black, Triple Nickel and White Knuckle. Starting with the entry-level R/T First Edition, it comes with the eStage 1 Upgrade that adds 40 horsepower in PowerShot mode, taking peak output to 496 hp and 404 pound-feet of torque. The base configuration will come with the Demonic Red Seats with red and silver stitching and perforated inserts. Also standard is the Plus Group of heated and ventilated leather front seats and heated back seats, interior ambient lighting, a 16-inch gauge cluster, LED headlights with a full-width LED light bar, and illuminated door handles. The fully loaded version of this First Edition sheds the red interior but adds the Sun & Sound Group of a fixed tinted glass roof and 18-speaker, 914-watt Alpine audio. The Blacktop Appearance Package comes along as well, fitting dark 20-inch aluminum wheels on 255/45 all-season tires and some dark R/T graphics. Outside, the car sits on 20-inch aluminum wheels. The rumored price: $68,570 before destination.
