picked this up last week
Its ok but hate the noise of diesl its awfull ....its got.plenty of poke in it 250bhp and 8 speet it goes quite well indeed....only down side is at city speeds you can.really hear the engine....the petrol s8 is staggering though i much prefered it.and the birds eye parking system is witchcraft its fantastic
 Boot space is a joke its no bigger than an a4 boot .... Rear leg room is non existant in the swb ... Really strange. The steering in spot on it drives lovely and the dynamic steering is great you shave 4 foot off the rear end when in sports mode and dynamic its really great how it works.. Rear view camera as standard now on the d4 Over all a great car but advise a lwb if you intend to carry any.one in the rear S8 is staggering ..0-60 in 4.2 seconds and yes it dose do it The pull from 80 to shal we say almost double that is just effortless and the gear changes are great ....not to.mention the sound of that lovely turbocharged v8      Rear leg room is poor         Bit of a mix and match but thats the D4 any way 3.0 tdi Next up 6.3 W12 Followed by the S8 And 4.2tdi

Interesting, how come you got your hands on that? Delivery job?
I knew the boot was smaller because of all the electronics behind the seats, but those struts take up an awful lot of room as well - wonder why they changed to that design?

S8 does 0-60 in 3.5 secs! Does the D4 S8 have launch control? Looks nice, Guy. Enjoy.

Just note if you have it mapped and suffer a drivetrain failure Audi will check the stored torque values and invalidate your warranty/black list the car! This has happened on a mapped RS3......
I really like the look of the latest S8 - looking forward to that instalment!!
