Audi S8 Review: Pictures, Features, Specs, Price, and More

German automobile maker Audi, the maker of the Audi S8, is renowned for the traits their cars are imbued with. All Audi cars are understated in design, dignified in poise, packed to the brim with state-of the art technology, and they can rocket you from city to city in a reassuring manner. All in all, they are typically Germanic in every possible way. But some of their vehicles have a hidden, almost schizophrenic persona. One such example is the Audi S8.

If you’ve got an exceptionally deep pocket and love driving fast, but you’re not the sort of person who likes drawing attention, then the S8 is the perfect car for you. No other automobile comes close to being the definition of stealth wealth than the S8. This car looks like it belongs only around the central business district, but it has such explosive performance that it can shatter most supercars in a drag race.

Audi S8 Features: The Undercover Supercar!

The Audi S8 has as much tech stacked into it as a spacecraft. Owners get to play with Audi’s latest generation MMI infotainment system which has handwriting and voice recognition capabilities, optional air suspension, a 14 speaker sound system by Bose that pumps out 630 watts, and a head-up display (HUD) which also displays navigation information.

All occupants of the Audi S8 can adjust their air-conditioning individually thanks to 4-zone automatic climate control, a sunroof, ambient interior illumination, a boot-lid that can be opened without having to use one’s hands, and powered soft-closing doors for a premium feel.

Audi S8 Powertrain

This is without a doubt the business end of the Audi S8. Under its long hood is a 4.0 liter, turbocharged V8 engine that belts out 605 hp and 517 lb. ft. of torque. This motor is so potent that it can accelerate this luxury barge on wheels from rest to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and, if de-restricted, onto a top speed of 190 mph.

The drive is harnessed by an 8 speed automatic gearbox and sent to its massive 21 inch alloy wheels via Audi’s legendary Quattro all-wheel drive system. Despite its supercar performance, you’ll still get 18 mpg (EPA combined) if you drive it sensibly.

Safety

A surround view camera, Audi parking system plus, automatic and adaptive full LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, multiple airbags including knee, side and curtain airbags, ABS with EBD and secondary-collision mitigating brakes that prevents multiple impacts after a collision, tyre pressure monitoring, brake assist, and electronic stability control with anti-slip regulation (ASR) are some of the safety features that come with the Audi S8.
