This makes perfect sense that the D4 S8 makes 575hp or more. There is no way it could do 3.5s to 60mph with only 520hp and all that weight.
Still, thinking back to our test drives at the annual meet, even though the RS6 is only a tiny bit faster accelerating on paper, on the road it felt a lot quicker, more responsive, nimbler (even though they both weigh around the same?), more planted, etc.
If I was choosing a new top end Audi I would definitely pick the RS6 over the S8.
The D4 S8 felt fast in a straight line, the RS6 felt truly sporty.
