Official Audi (UK) press release for S8, S7 and S8

Haven't posted for a while - just been enjoying my S4

However the new S6 looks interesting...

So the S6 and S7 get the 7 speed S-Tronic - perhaps not so good for aftermarket tuners as I thing the torque/power is pretty much at the limit for that gearbox. Also the weight is higher than I expected but what a tech-fest in the cylinder shutdown engine! I know Mercedes do this in their V8 but can't do it with the turbo V8 yet - one up for Audi!

*S8 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds* Now that is impressive for a big barge, just imagine what it may be able to acheive with just a map?

I still prefer the styling of the D3 S8 though along with that V10 Roar!!

Here is the detailed info about the new 4.0T engine and pictures of the V8. As predicted the turbochargers are inside the engine.
