Picked up my 2023 RSQ8 in Nardo Gray - Tinted & Lowered
Well, I finally picked up my long awaited 2023 RSQ8 last week...my thoughts remain that this is the absolute best daily (SUV) driver on the market. This thing just does everything so well, it's comfortable, it's luxurious, it's fast, it's sporty, it's roomy, it looks absolutely awesome. It really does everything so well, it can be whatever you want or need it to be. Anyways, here is my spec and my timeline from submitting the order to delivery date for those interested. This is my 2nd RSQ8, I had a 2022 RSQ8 before this which I picked up in December of 2021 and sold in July 2022. No major differences between the model years, but this RSQ8 was nearly $20,000 more expensive than my previous one but $10,000 of that is because of the stupid Luxury Tax we have here in Canada. The other $10,000 is because the MSRP went up $7,000 (previous 2022 base MSRP was $129,300 and the 2023 base MSRP was $136,200. I say WAS because on December 1st (yes, the day I picked it up) the MSRP went up by $3,000 to $139,200, but I paid the original MSRP of $136,200 luckily).
Here is my spec for my 2023 RSQ8 Nardo Grey Black Leather with Rock Grey Stitching Carbon Optics Package Massage Function for Front Seats Black Alcantara Headliner Red Brake Calipers

Congrats! That is my favorite spec. You putting aftermarket wheels on it or leaving stock?
Thank you!
I might as I have the winters on the OEM 23s now. But it's hard to find a wheel I really like on these cars to be honest. A lot of them make the car look worse, somehow the OEMs really work on the car. I also am not willing to drop $10k on wheels so would have to find something on the cheaper side. I just can't justify these wheel prices these days. Not sure how long I will keep this car because I ordered an RS6 in Nardo Gray as well...should be here by the summer but I love the RSQ8 so I'm not sure I will take the RS6 or not...

I agree. I think I am going to just get a second set of the same OEM rim for summer set. RSQ8, R8, RS6.... You are living! Lfg
