At this stage the only info I have if from inside Audi ...who stated they are investigating claims that the reason the D4 S8 tromps the competition is its acclaimed 520hp is acctually a bit of a white lie ...
It produces 575bhp .. and a tad more torque. ..
But who's going to dyno a new car right ? ...
Well inside sources say they back to back dyno tested 15 S8s and not 1 of them was anywhere near 520hp. . They were all in fact over 575bhp ..
But do Audi have some kind of "gentleman's agreement with competitive company's that they will be within a paticular bhp tollarance " ? ... Otherwise we All know a remap alone with give in excess of 650bhp so why don't Audi do this from factory .. competition perhaps? ...
