The S8 is a rapid, but comfortable cruiser, and is just in a way different league really, like comparing chalk and cheese....
I'd seriously consider a TT roadster, only because I personally find the coupe a bit claustrophic.... (when you're used to a8s... most things seem small  ) |
Pretty much perfect! And great fun.
For instance name another small car that can easily get 265bhp reliably with 4 wheel drive, a big boot and a very safe car on the market? The 4 wheel drive for her in the winter is brilliant and I remapped it to 265bhp with BAGS loads of torque. It's a refined go-kart as Ian says with every extra as standard. Leather/Xenons/Heated Seats/Bose etc!
It feels very quick due to the turbo power delivery and probably with power to weight ratios give an S8 a good run for it's money lower down (Remapped). Above 100 the S8's glorious V8 comes into it's own.
No airbag lost along the way AFAIK?!
