Sold the RS a little over 4 years ago, needless to say the itch needed scratched. I picked up a 2013 S8 with 55k on the clock and decent maintenance history. One mans depreciation loss is this guy’s gain lol.
Although it’s been a few years, here are my initial impressions vs the RS6. Pros for S8: ZF 8 speed, Engine (APR stage 1 coming Friday!) tech like adaptive cruise, message seats, selectable drive modes, Etc., B&O stereo with Bluetooth, and a little more comfortable. Pros for the RS6: handling was outstanding with hotchkis sway bars and pilot super sports, overall felt a little more nimble due to the smaller size and lighter weight. Steering felt just right and connected, and the exhaust note wasn’t as muted.
Question for those who have the D4 S8. For the oil screen clog issue, are you replacing with the new part or deleting altogether?
Glad to be back, here are a couple pics.
