It is closer than you might think.

How does the Nurburgring blitzing RSQ8handle muddy trails? The carwow team had an original idea to see how the Audi RS Q8 handles gravel roads. The team at carwow decided to hold an off-road drag race in which the pavement-eating RS Q8 was pitted against the pedestrian Dacia Duster. We could have declared the winner if the race were on asphalt, but the lack of grip makes it slightly more difficult.

The Audi RSQ8 SUV is one of the fastest around the Nurburgring. The 5,270-pound SUV can set a record lap time of 7 minutes 42 seconds, which is currently the best for production SUVs. It is possible to achieve this incredible level of performance by using advanced engineering and technology.

The Audi RS Q8’s twin-turbo V8 engine produces 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft. The 8-speed automatic transmission transfers this power to all four wheels. Audi’s famous Quattro all wheel-drive system ensures that this incredible power gets to the pavement with minimal drama. The RS Q8 is the fastest vehicle on the market, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds and a maximum speed of 190 mph.

The Dacia Duster is your humble Dacia. This compact SUV for families is the ideal vehicle to transport small children who need an all-weather vehicle. The Dacia Duster’s 1.5-liter turbo diesel engine produces a decent 115 horsepower.

There can only be one winner in this expensive-versus-affordable drag race. Is it the powerful Audi or more pragmatic Dacia Duster who will win? Let’s see!
