Both are beautiful. Thinking about an S8 for my next car. Need to take a test drive. I'm wondering how a car that size handles and whether I will miss the excitement provided by my modded RS4

Your car looks awesome. i love the the new color of the wheels. It really goes well with the white. were they polished before and now standard silver?
We need to get together sometime for a photoshoot. Would love to get some black and white together.

Thanks for the props everyone. The car was lowered with lowering links provided by oemplus.com. I did the vag lowering the first time on the Daytona Grey one and it got reset a few times when bringing the car in for service. Though the endlinks costs a few bucks to do over the VAG, it's a good clean solution that is permanent and easily adjustable.


Cheers

Looks so aggressive. Shame no DRL's

You will miss the excitement of the RS4. The S8 is what it is, a big heavy luxo crusier that has a decent combination of *** hauling and elegant design. I think the best driving large sedan I ever owned still till this day was a e39 M5. I would have no issues playing with a RS4, M3 or straight line with the AMG's in the M5. And in the early 2000's that car looked good. Never became a fan of the e60 though, hence the move to the S8.

S8 is not a put a smile on your face from driving pleasure kind of car. It's more of a great interior design and a classic exterior with many nice design details. The B&O system is still one of a kind. Overall keep the RS4, unless you want the luxury.

just my opinion...

Thanks. They were almost polished looking. It had a machined finished that was very smooth so they were pretty bright. This grey silver works pretty well for me though.

Anytime friend, we could hit the same spot on the photos. I live next door

Cheers

I think the endlinks are a perfect option as they don't slam the car too much.
Did you take the photos yourself? If so, wow, you have talent.
I'd love to meet up sometime, I live in Orange but am in Irvine for work quite a bit. Send me a PM if interested

What a GORGEOUS S8 collection you've had. Everytime I see one of these on the road I just drool because they are such elegalntly crafted conservativly spoken cars. All of Audi's lines are just blissfull and the MTM wheels and lowering of your S8's match perfectly to my dream DD.

No talent here. The Grey S8 photos were taken by a photographer named Scott Chu. The rest were by me trying hard with my POS camera
