Last diesel I drove was a 1980 caddy. And I’m not going back.
I suspect you are right 
And these same people are oblivious to the WEC, and Audi Sport's record at Le Mans. Using diesel power.
The 4.0TDI V8 TT is a monster of an engine, will be well suited to the Q8 with over 900Nm of torque, and I'm not normally a diesel person. Assuming they don't nobble its low rpm torque output to meet Euro 6D.
For the non-diesel markets, such as the US, the SQ8 is likely to use the new lower output (450hp or so) 4.0TFSI TT V8, as used in the latest Panamera GTS. It is likely that an announcement will be made within the next week.

Man that sounds like a BEAST.
I do miss the diesel engines though. Took a lot of thoughts to traded in my 14 Q5 TDI for my Q8 P+. The fuel efficiency is totally night and day.
Too bad VW shot themselves in the foot on this.
Only if I can import one to the States lol...
