'Rangers are back' cheered the Loftus Road masses and after a performance like this, few could argue with the 12,000-plus crowd.
Sensational strikes from Hogan Ephraim and Mikele Leigertwood lit up W12, to cap a perfect opening day for new First Team Coach Luigi De Canio.
Ephraim opened the scoring in the 26th minute, cutting inside from his left wing position before firing an unstoppable 22-yard strike past Boaz Myhill.
The R's continued to dominate and Leigertwood rubber-stamped the performance early in the second half, when he curled home only his second goal in QPR colours.
The victory increased the R's unbeaten run to five matches in all competitions, ahead of the visit of Coventry City to Loftus Road on Tuesday evening.
De Canio handed new loan signing Akos Buzsaky his full debut, as skipper Adam Bolder dropped to the bench.
The rest of the R's team remained unchanged from the 1-0 victory at Charlton last time out, with Martin Rowlands taking over the captain's duties in the absence of Bolder.
Hull boss Phil Brown recalled Jay-Jay Okocha to the starting XI, for only his fifth start since his summer switch to the Tigers.
The visitors made most of the early running, but it was Rangers who created the first chance of the match in the 14th minute.
Gifted far too much time and space in the heart of the R's midfield, Buzsaky didn't need a second invitation to shoot and duly smashed a 25-yard strike on target, which Myhill did well to tip round for a corner.
At the other end, experienced front-man Dean Windass stung the palms of Lee Camp, from a quickly taken Hull free-kick.
Buzsaky's set-pieces were causing City all sorts of problems and when Marc Nygaard stole a march on his marker to meet the Hungarian's corner midway through the half, only a poorly directed header prevented the R's from taking the lead.
Undeterred, the R's faithful didn't have to wait too long to see the first goal of the De Canio era.
Inevitably, it was the influential Rowlands who provided the assist. Picking up possession deep inside his own half, the midfield maestro turned his marker on a sixpence, before spraying an inch-perfect cross-field pass into the path of West Ham United loanee Ephraim.
Shown inside by Sam Ricketts, Ephraim took a couple touches to set himself, before drilling a spectacular 22-yard drive into the bottom right hand corner.
Strikes from distance certainly seemed to be the order of the day in an end-to-end first half, with Windass forcing Camp to scramble across his goal on the half hour, as his 18-yard curler flew inches wide.
Unlike in the first period, it was Rangers who started the second half in the ascendancy.
A free-flowing counter attack from a City corner eventually found it's way to Vine, who was guilty of delaying his pass inside to Buzsaky, which allowed Wayne Brown to clear his lines.
Moments later, Vine went alone, cutting in from the right flank before unleashing a fearsome right footed strike, which deflected into the side-netting.
Rangers weren't to be denied though, as Leigertwood added to his repertoire of outstanding individual goals with a 55th minute beauty.
As the ball broke loose to the former Sheffield United man on the angle of the penalty box, he shrugged off a challenge from a City midfielder before opening his body up and curling a sublime right footed curler into the roof of the net, giving Myhill absolutely no chance.
The R's were dominant, restricting Hull to just a solitary 70th minute Dean Marney strike, which Camp tipped round the post.
Bolder replaced the hardworking Nygaard late on, with the Hull-born midfielder ending the match with the armband strapped firmly to his left arm.
