The upcoming Audi Q8 has been teased before its official unveil at the Detroit Motor Show via official sketches of the SUV.
The Audi Q8 will be the flagship model for Audi alongside the A8 sedan. It is expected to rival the Bentley Bentayga and the Porsche Cayenne with which it shares the MLB-EVO platform. The Aud Q7 is also based on the same platform. Audi chief designer March Lichte calls it cross between a traditional SUV and a sports coupe.
There are no details on the engines but the Q8 is expected to come with a new generation of diesel and petrol V6 and V8 motors. An SQ8 featuring the Sq7’s 4.0 litre V8 diesel engine with an electric powered compressor is also expected. This engine develops 429 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. 
Lichte said during an interview “From some customers’ point-of-view, we lacked the necessary differentiation. This will change in the future. Every new Audi model will have its own character and express it in its formal language – both in the exterior and in the interior,”
