    i always thought the 3.0T made more like 350 hp. this justifies the current mpgs that everyone is complaining about. still much better than the B7 S4 gas guzzler. i can only imagine what a 4.0T would be capable of- 450 hp and as much in torque.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    These pictures have been posted on another forum. The poster claims they are from the new A8. What do we think?

    I am chewing on my nails,that's how impatiently I am waiting for that car.
    I only hope that Audi does not screw with the performance and offer a monster package ,blowing off all competition (including Panamera).

    I guess new s8 will never outperform panamera turbo,for strategic-marketing reason in the group

    I don't see why, they are completely different cars, Sedan vs Hatchback.
    According to info the new S8 will get a 4.0 V8 Bi-TFSI with overhead (between V) turbo's producing 550 hp.
    The A8 W12 will get a new ± 6.3 liter 500 hp W12 FSI, it is not certain if it will be "long wheel base only" that get the W12.

    panamera it's a competitor of audi a8,bmw 7 and mb S.
    If s8 comes with 550hp, surely we will see a powerkit for panamera turbo and even a panamera turbo S version IMHO

    Panamera S will be released, that is for sure...

    What's the future of the 4.2 and 5.0 T, are these engines going to find its place in new A8 line up...?

    2 years back the info was that the next Gen S8 would get the RS6 5.0T V10 engine.
    The latest info say the V10's will not come back in next gen's A6 and A8, replaced by forced induction V8.

    It does not matter if one is hatch and the rest are notchbacks.
    Panamera will be on the same cross shopping list with A/S8,S-Class,QP,etc.
    At least in my case....
