Just how well do these 2.8's perform?
I had a 2.6 (12V) in my old A4 and that was quite entertaining to drive, if not blisteringly fast.
115kW (150hp) and 1380kg for the A4Q
145kW (193hp) and 1580kg (Wow!) for the A8QS

Some quick Marty maths puts them at 83.33kW/T and 92.77kW/T.
Allowing for the fact that the factory curb weights and real life curb weights rarely equate, the A8 has higher overall mass and can carry more fuel, is an automatic (vs my A4's manual) I would expect them to have similar real world performance. Which is quite adequate from my A4 memories!

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
