Raves about seats but no interior pics. Such a tease.

The D2 S8 gearing combined with the higher rev limit on the S8 4.2 make it quite nimble. This is night and day difference to the S6 Avant which I hated and sold. I don't miss the RS6 when driving the S8.
Seats. Lol they are soft and keep you planted at the same time. 100% better than US RS6 seats and 50% better than euro spec RS6 seats. I wish I could put S8 seats in all my RS6s. I have the euro RS6 seats in one of my cars but these S8 are better by a ton.

Great looking car! Need some more pics of that interior... drool...
I agree 100% on the seats. That's my favorite part of the whole car.

'02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down
I may pickup a set of black Recaro S8 seats and try fitting them in the RS6. It's basically the euro RS6 seat with softer leather and more cushioning. Wait, I don't need to tell you all my plans because all the black S8 seats on the market are going to vanish now.
Doh
I've already tried to source a set a few times over the years, but it's proven to be elusive and cost prohibitive.

Well that would not surprise me.
There are fewer D2 S8s in the US over a 3yr span than even RS6s

I saw a D2 S8 in Avus in Lynnwood, WA at The Old Spaghetti Factory!
I was about to yell out the window if it was for sale but he was driving away.
Interior leather was black...
