Take a race-bred 450 hp V10. Add FSI® Direct Injection technology. Make 398 lb-ft of torque available. Move from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Leave every other car far, far behind. And look absolutely stunning while doing so. | |
5.2 FSI® V10 Engine
For the first time in the history of the Audi brand, a 10-cylinder engine with FSI® direct injection is used. Ten cylinders not only imply leading-edge automobile engineering and a clear declaration of the brand claim of “Vorsprung durch Technik”. Ten cylinders are also the essence of emotive power and motor sport in its purest form: 10 cylinders, 5.2 liters displacement, 450 hp and a maximum torque of 398 lbs-ft. at 3,500 rpm. | |
| Adaptive Air Suspension : Sport
It is the car’s suspension that matters, particularly as the physical limits of handling and tire grip are approached. The Audi S8 has therefore been equipped with suspension specially matched to its performance potential and for the forces that are likely to develop. Sport version featured on the S8 offers 20mm lower ride height than the A8 for improved control. | |

6 speed Tiptronic transmission
A 30% wider gear spread than the five-speed in the predecessor allows for improved low end torque and increased fuel efficiency. The Dynamic Shift Program (DSP) automatically adjusts to driver's driving style. | |
| quattro®
Enhanced driving dynamics, optimum traction, excellent agility and responsiveness and improved safety. What is new in the Audi S8 is an asymmetric, dynamic torque split. If required, an integrated self locking center differential distributes the output in the ratio of 40:60 between the front and rear axle. | |
