I wonder how much the car would have weighed had it been made by conventional steel rather then aluminium. The S8 has never been as quick as it should be. 400 BHP should have been the least for the D2 and 500 for the D3.
The new S8 is going to have a 4.0T V8 with 500ish BHP. About time we saw some turbos on an S8
