450 hp for former Formula 1 Champion
Prof Dr Martin Winterkorn hands over one of the first S8 cars
First business trip to Nuremberg’s Norisring
Former Formula 1 Champion Keke Rosberg used the opportunity of the Norisring race to pick up his new car in Ingolstadt. Prof Dr Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, handed over one the first new Audi S8 cars to the prominent Finn at the Audi Piazza on Friday.
The father of the German Formula 1 shooting star Nico Rosberg and founder of Audi Sport Team Rosberg has been an Audi customer for quite some time. Now he added to his A8 W12 a "brilliant black” S8 with a black leather package that sets a new benchmark in the sporty luxury car class: 450 hp are delivered by the 5.2-litre V10 FSI engine.
In addition to the S8’s ample standard equipment, including 20-inch cast aluminium wheels sporting the S-design and adaptive air suspension, the 1982 Formula 1 Champion opted for the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System as well as ceramic brakes for which Prof Dr Winterkorn provided Rosberg with expert explanations.
"At Audi ‘S’ stands for sport, and this can be taken quite literally,” said Rosberg after his first business trip in his new "toy” which took him from Ingolstadt to the Norisring. "The S8 combines sportiness and comfort in an extremely impressive way.”
