This is covered all over the shop, but basically the physical differences between an A8 4.2 in Sport spec and an S8 are pretty small - alloy mirror housings and different wheels. Main mechanical difference is a slightly higher power output from the S8 and much shorter gearing (so you're pulling more revs for a given road speed in the S8 than in an A8) - consequently an S8 gives worse fuel economy. Think 20mpg on a good day!
