Good lord that interior looks perfect. Loving the diamond sewed middle sections of the seats

madkimchi

that diamond stitching is $$$. love those seats. if i am correct s8 engine have forged internals. s6, s7 and s8 all have 4.0 v8tt but s8 is the only one with forged internals and bigger turbos to make 520hp instead of 420 like s6 and s7. give that engine a new tune and i bet it will push 600hp easy.

A friend is looking to buy this as his next car. His last A8 came to a sad end. Replaced trans at 80K and then engine died at 85K. Car was mint and worthless all at the same time...

Never own an Audi outside of warranty. Every little option takes huge man hours to fix. The S8 does have impressive numbers though.

gotta love AWD and hp!!!!!
