Used Audi S8 for Sale

This relatively unassuming big German luxury sedan really is a member of the exclusive 600-hp club. The Audi S8 Plus competes in the upper echelon of the luxury-sports-sedan realm, trading blows with such machines as the 577-hp Mercedes-AMG S63 and the 600-hp BMW Alpina B7. The previous, 520-hp S8 wasn’t quite keeping up in the horsepower wars, though, so Audi introduced the top-dog Plus model for 2016 with more power—and it’s now the only S8 configuration available to U.S. buyers. (We’re not complaining.) Beyond its burlier engine, the S8 also differentiates itself with a shorter, 117.8-inch wheelbase; as with the BMW 7-series and the Mercedes S-class, the regular A8 is long-wheelbase only in America—the A8L in Audi-speak. The Audi also has an uprated chassis, including a stiffer suspension and bigger brakes, as well as a subtle visual makeover with unique styling treatments front and rear and snazzier interior trim.

What can I say... Great concept, putting the 5.2l V10 Gallardo engine in a saloon! The body is made out of aluminum, which makes the car incredibly light to drive. You never get the impression of driving a car of that size. And yes, it's insanely fast. Not to mention the amazing exhaust sound when the throttle is pushed! This car was registered in March of this year and was ordered complete with ceramic brakes and B&O audio. Build quality is impeccable, comfort and space are abundant, but the ride quality is abysmal. The car needs these brakes and has already at 12k miles had discs and hubs replaced under warranty. What I love most about this car though is, only those who know, know what it is and is capable of. Lesser mortals just think its another Audi!

Audi cars of that era were luxurious cars equipped with special bodywork. In 1932, Audi merged with Horch, DKW, and Wanderer, to form Auto Union AG, Chemnitz. It was during this period that the company offered the Audi Front that became the first European car to combine a six-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive.
