Motor Trend just reviewed the new S8 and calls it a dead heat between it and the turbo S - pretty impressive from the audi given the fact that it's a bigger heavier car. I can only imagine what this thing would do once you put a tune on the ecu! Or better yet the prettier, lighter s7 which has basically a detuned version of the same engine - and that might be the only car I would consider instead of a new panamera.

I wonder how fast the RS6 will be...

 

i like audis but i think the S8 design is looking dated and in need of a refresh. they are not doing the S8 justice.

 

The S8 was tested and shown to be underrated

I agree the S8 looks blend and I am in the minority to think that the Panamera looks much better lol

 

For sure S8 design is very conservative yet timeless not as flashy/exotic like Panamera. Props to the sick interior tho but for almost 50k less the PTT... it is very tempting
