Default Noob question

For the uninitiated, I would like to better understand the key differences between the 4.2 V8 A8 and the S8.

From what it obvious :-

The engine has had a tweak to give it the extra bhp but is it just ECU mapping or are there differences in the engine, exhaust, etc?

I gather the S8 has 4 pot Brembo front calipers with 345/30 discs.

Suspension wise, presumably bigger ARBs and better shocks/springs?

Anything else...?

Thanks in advance
