2019 AUDI S8 4.0L TSFI quattro V8 8AT (571 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The A8 is the top model of Audi’s luxury sedans and one of the most appreciated luxury limousines all over the world. It’s a luxury limousine perfect for those who want the finest comfort and a powerful car. But the S8 is even better, the quickest version of Audi’s A8 limo. The S8 is one of the best alternatives and one of the main rivals of the BMW 750Li.

What’s new about the design? It’s an almost restyled car. Audi managed to combine beauty, luxury and sport by making one car. The front lights and tail lights are all-digital. The specific Digital Matrix system on Vorsprung Models is also available. At the rear, the tail-light graphic is worn broadly, with a connecting light strip bar across the boot lid.

The interior, as you expect from an S8, must be high-tech with high-quality materials, and it is. Audi combines traditional luxury, wood, and leather with modern technology. Everything is made from fine materials and equipped with all manner of luxury options, such as front and rear massaging seats, a foot warmer for rear-seat passengers, and individual entertainment tablets in the back.

Nearly all features in the cabin are controlled via various touchscreens, and the commands are intuitive to use. Next-level tech extra equipment such as night vision and a remote-parking mode are available. Space inside is very generous, door openings are generous too, especially for rear-seat passengers, entry and exit being quite easy. The Executive Rear Seat Comfort package adds extra legroom for the right rear passenger, possibly moving the front seat well forward, exposing a footrest in the seatback.

Performance is noticeable, even for a big luxury limousine. The Audi sports DNA will give you plenty of power to travel fast enough to reach your business meetings. With 571 horsepower and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque on tap, sent to all four-wheel through a Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the sporty luxury sedan can hit 100 kph (62 mph) from a standing start in just 3.8 seconds.

Even though it also helps performance during spirited driving, the mild-hybrid 48-volt system actually works continuously to reduce fuel consumption, with up to 0.8 liters per 100 kilometers in fuel saving being possible thanks strictly to the system. The setup uses a 48-volt belt alternator starter and an additional lithium-ion battery. The braking system is truly high-performance, with the optional carbon-fiber brake.

An Audi S8 would be a lot to talk about. It’s beautifully finished, rides smoothly, and has impressive performance. It’s a car that does so much and makes it worth every dollar spent. If driving, it will make you feel like Jason Statham in the Transporter movie. If you want to get somewhere fast and safe without drawing great attention, the S8 is one of the best cars businessmen often target.
