Driving change

The final Audi Foundation fundraiser for 2022 is underway, with an Audi SQ8 TFSI joining the honour roll of desirable Audi models offered as the grand prize to one lucky participant. All of the funds raised by the raffle will again go to further the extraordinary work of the Audi Foundation through its long-term partnerships as well as being used to help communities in crisis as was the case most recently with additional funds donated to help those adversely affected by the devastating floods along the country’s east coast.

Celebrating its fifth year of operation this year, the work of the Audi Foundation has made a real and tangible difference to the lives of more than six million people around the country. Its work with partners across Education and careers, mental health and medical research continues though and requires ongoing funding to continue the great work and positive results that have a been achieved to date.

In addition to the ongoing funds contributed by the National Audi Dealer Network and donations from generous individuals, the Audi Foundation also carries out its own fundraisers in the form of two raffles each year. 

And while supporting the Audi Foundation and its charity partners is its own special reward, the Foundation’s fundraising raffles have always offered an added incentive to those who get behind its vital work. For this, the ninth fundraising raffle, a brand-new Audi SQ8 TFSI is that added incentive, a magnificent luxury performance SUV that offers equal parts scintillating performance and handling and the highest standards in luxurious appointment and the latest technology.

Valued at $187,859* drive away, the SQ8 TFSI offers absolute luxury for up to five occupants in its sumptuous interior, boasting the very latest in automotive technology and connectivity. It takes the very idea of a luxury conveyance to all new heights, but it also lays claim to a position in the rarified atmosphere of high-performance SUVs. 

Powered by a 4.0 TFSI V8 with twin turbochargers it delivers 373kW and a massive 770Nm of torque, to race from standstill to 100km/h in just 4.1 seconds – supercar performance that belies the level of comfort and luxury appointment of this remarkable vehicle. 

Complementing this extraordinary power of the SQ8 is the standard dynamic all-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension sport, while the unparalleled grip of quattro permanent all-wheel is of course standard equipment.

Despite its performance pedigree, there is also a softer side to the SQ8 TFSI, which is capable of returning extraordinary fuel figures of 12.2L/100km when not driven hard – a figure due to array of the cutting-p-edge technology employed including CoD (Cylinder on Demand), which deactivates four of the eight cylinders when not under load, to effectively turn the engine into a highly efficient four-cylinder. 

This transition is seamless, as is every other aspect of the SQ8, from its heated, electrically adjustable S sport front seats with lumbar support, to the exquisitely finished Valcona leather upholstery throughout. Colour interior ambient lighting, Audi connect plus connectivity and the sublime Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system make for a vehicle that deserves its place amongst the elite, luxury SUVs.

And all this could end up in your garage for just $50 – still the price of a ticket in the Audi Foundation raffle, with ticket numbers again capped at just 10,000. 

The raffle is open from now until Wednesday, November 30, 2022, or until all of the 10,000 tickets are sold.

The lucky winner will be drawn from all entries on Friday, December 2.
