The Audi A8 (D4) is on its way to refurbishment, but before that the Ingolstadt brand wanted to give this generation a sportier slant. Meet the new Audi S8 Plus.
If the Audi S8 Plus did not retain the comfort and convenience recognized by the A8 range, this new model could very well be called the Audi RS8. It's not called the Audi RS8 but in terms of power it doesn't lack anything. Not at all… 605 hp of power and 750Nm of maximum torque (in overboost mode) generated by an upgraded version of Audi's well-known twin-turbo V8 engine.

On the outside, the Audi S8 Plus retains all the elegance of the rest of the range, adding just a subtle sporty touch. After all, anyone who comes across the Audi S8 Plus on the road has the right to know that it is not a conventional A8, but an executive saloon capable of delivering 0-100km/h in just 3.8 seconds and achieving a maximum speed of 305 km/h (without optional limiter).
Open the champagne… sorry! Clear the road and let the Audi S8 Plus pass. A proposal that will suit the most hurried executive or the most eccentric rapper. Stay with the image gallery:
