Discuss as appropriate. All I will say is, it is a 4.0 litre engine with 518ps. And if you ask me how I know, its a secret. There is also a similar engine 4.0 engine with 420ps also being developed, though that is not going to be for a 'S' variant I guess.

I've just had a detachable one fitted too, but I wondered why this S8 was photographed towing. Not the best look! I know it's a 'spy'shot', but still wondered why it has a trailer.
