Final Edition S8's
 

What makes an S8 a 'Final Edition'?

i saw this one posted on tyresmoke;
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1502378.htm

and Sighn pointed out that its got a very average spec; I had always assumed they where all fully loaded.

What do you get over a standard S8, are the alloys standard on all final editions, and when did they start making the 'final editions'?

Read all about it here:

In summary, the final edition is far from fully loaded. It represents a FIXED SPECIFICATION car, so in reality, the fractionally older 02 plate cars tend to be a far higher spec and more desirable in my opinion....

Totally agree! +++

Cool, cheers! that clears that up then.

Mines a Feb 2002 registered car, and as you say it got tons more spec than the final editions look to have.

Just need to find a set of those 20" 9 spokes!

Yes, an 02 car, pre final edition, with the 'Sport' mode gearbox, loads of trimmings and the 20" wheels, well, thats about perfect really..... +++

Ian, will you stop it now please...! :rolleyes:

Hows the RS6 going Clive?

Cramped? Bumpy ?

Bloody fast ?

Rediculously thirsty? :D

:ROFL: You couldn't pay me love nor money to change my 8 for an RS6 - Clive, i still don't get why you went down that route i must admit considering the spec your old S8 had - and judging by how much you're still on here, do you miss it? ;)

S8 forever
 

:love: No, Ian please carry on :ROFL: please do

Stop it, the lot of you! :D

Cramped? No, surprisingly almost as spacious as the 8.

Bumpy? A much firmer ride than the 8, but not uncomfortably so. It has Billstein PSS9s, which are fully adjustable so it could be softened up if necessary.

Fast? Hmmm...yea, slightly ;)

Thirsty? No worse than the 8 so far. In fact, the previous owner said he'd never reset the average MPG and after 4 years it was showing 20.8 :cool:

Do I miss the S8? Hell yea! :-(
