Have a read of one of the old S8 reviews, I like reading these even after I bought the car.
Also my personal feeling is, dont ruin it with LPG. It will make some maintenance procedures more difficult, not sure if it will reduce performance as well - others may know.

The Insideline review is a good read too,

and another, comparison vs Mercedes and BMW,

Thks Goran, those reports were useful - though I did find none of them gave a complete thumbs up to the S8 - but it glowed enough in many places.

As for LPG - I am no expert (certainly not from high power cars as the S8) - LPG does have its problems, but if installed and maintain correctly it does save a bundle of ££ and allow myself to enjoy the car more, by allowing it to do what it does best (using most of its BHP) and flooring it as and when it is required
