    In Audi-speak ‘S’ stands for Sport Performance, and the S8 is a go-fast version of the brand’s full-size A8 luxury sedan.

    The current fifth-generation version is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V8 sending drive to all four wheels via an eight-speed ‘Tiptronic’ auto transmission and Audi’s ‘quattro’ all-wheel drive system.

    It runs 0-100km/h in a claimed 3.8sec.

    The line-up currently starts at $286,515 for the S8 4.0 Tfsi Quattro Mhev and ranges through to $286,515 for the range-topping S8 4.0 Tfsi Quattro Mhev.

    Audi S8 FAQs

    Audi RS8 - Will we ever see an ultimate performance version of the A8?

    (They did do this)

    While a one-off RS8 prototype of the previous-generation (D4 series) A8 was created in 2013, it never went into production, as we understand there just wasn't enough demand for that sort of high-performance internal-combustion engined limousine.

    Tesla's successful Model S, on the other hand, has demonstrated the viability of an electrically powered large-sedan flagship, and so with Audi going down that path with the help of Porsche with its e-tron GT series, it is unlikely that we will see anything racier than an S8.

    We hope this helps.
