Geneva: AUDI plans S8-Version
AUDI works intensively on a new sport version of the Topmodells A8. As admits at the edge Geneva cars of the salon from enterprise circles became, the S8 developed at the Tuning department Quattro GmbH is to come however at the earliest in the year 2005 on the market.
In addition is so far open, as the sporty luxury sedan is propelled. Thus a group in the enterprise prefers a V8-Motor loaded with two Turbos. A second group sets with view of the coming M5 of BMW and the engines in the formula 1 on a ten-cylinder - and therefore gladly with the drive the supersports car Gallardo of the AUDI daughter Lamborghini would avail itself. More than 431 HP of the twelve-cylinder engine in the A8 is to carry out the S8 however for in any case.

So, a V10 or turbo V8 with over 431HP (450PS?) in 2005? That makes life hard for me, I'm debating either keeping the RS 6 until it's two years old (December) or jumping to an A8 W12 sooner. Might have to hang on to the RS 6 a little longer, but then it will be dangerously close to being out of warranty.

The V8 turbo & V10 engines already exist, so why do we have to wait another year for the new S8 then Audi? :nono:
