2018 Audi RS8 Trim Levels and Features
Buyers must know that the new 2018 Audi RS8 is available as a convertible or coupe. Both of these versions are actually the same in terms of standard equipment. The biggest difference is the folding roof. If you choose the coupe version, then there is a performance-oriented Plus trim available. The performance-oriented Plus trim comes with a more powerful engine and it also comes with a lower weight. While the engine is more powerful, but it sacrifices some comfort.
The base model is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine which can deliver 540 horsepower. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. It comes with some standard features such as adaptive suspension dampers, LED headlights, 19-inch wheels, and a digital gauge cluster display. The Convertible adds a glass wind blocker and a folding soft top.
There are some options available for the R8, but we think that these options are limited to upholstery choices, different wheels, and additional interior trim. The R8 PLUS comes with a more powerful engine as it is powered by a V10 engine which can deliver 610 horsepower. The R8 PLUS also offers a more stiffly tuned suspension. What makes it more powerful is that the R8 PLUS also comes with a slightly smaller gas tank.
