Dacia Duster proved to be as good as an Audi RS Q8 on a very difficult off-road route, following a test performed by the British from Carwow. This is given that the Romanian car is 10 times cheaper than the German car.

A Romanian 4×4 Duster proved to be as good on an off-road route as an Audi RS Q8 “beast”, the fastest production SUV ever timed on the Nurburgring circuit.
“We’ll see if this wonderful SUV from Audi has what it takes to keep up with the cheap and cheerful Dacia Duster, in a series of off-road challenges,” write the people from Carwow.
The Romanian Duster seemed to have no chance, given the huge differences between the two cars. The German SUV is a “beast” with 600 horsepower, developed by a 4-liter turbo V8 engine, with the famous Quattro system, a massive car, 2,300 kilograms.
115 hp of the Duster vs 600 hp of the “beast” Audi RS Q8
This while the car produced in Pitesti has only 115 hp, a 1.5-liter engine and 1,400 kilograms.
“It will definitely be easy for Duster to win, won’t it?” The Englishmen said ironically before starting the race.
But the result was quite surprising to everyone. In the end, the Duster turned out to be as good as the German supercar.
It should be noted that the fastest series SUV of the moment has a minimum price of almost 140,000 euros, given that a Duster costs about 14,000 euros.
