I can concur with this, I own the D3 Quattro Sport and looking at some point to get a V8 LWB 4.2Tdi and the test drive on that went extremely well, it was a very smooth ride, even spirited driving was coped with exceptionally well. I'm not sure what's in it, but what ever it is, it works very well. I would imagine a remapped D4 V8 4.2 Diesel to show the D3 S8 a trick or two, as I've driven one on those also and I don't think it would take much more power and torque to make it the quicker and faster car.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.
Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
