An American review had it at 0-60 in 3.5 or 3.6 seconds to sixty, look it up on Youtube, it went up against a Alpina 7 Series and trashed it. The launch control and S Tronic box help, I'll have one if it handles like my RS 6 (which is pretty damn good for what it is). The Americans put it on a dyno and it made circa 580 at the crank, which asks the question. Do Audi map press cars?

Now theres a concept .... I wander if they do map them for test pilots ect like if top gear had one for the day ect....
One thing i do know is that the new turbo charged S8 has beel long awaited since the old 100 2.2 turbo There will be a whole load of mods, maps, maybe turbo upgrades ..de cats ect ... I wander just how much you can squeeze out of it .. If the RS6 can be 730bhp with just a re map.. Makes you wander what the S8 will really be able to handel.. I think given the right tuning and relevent mods it will eat most super cars for break fast in a drag race .. That 8 speed s tronic box makes a world of difference too  Thoughts ?....

Why the link with the 100, Guy? That's an ex A6 iirc, and there's been loads of turbo'd '6's since. I wish Audi would make an RS 8, rather than crap like the Q3 RS, if they did I'd buy one without hesitation.

The crazy thing is, chuck a LS7 engine in a D2, with a 01E gearbox, and you will get a sub 4 second to 60 time too. LS7 505hp crate engine these days is £11.5k with all the bits, used 01E + all the bits another £2.5k, get someone to do the work lets say another 2k.
So for £16k + a S8 chassis from ebay you could have a monster that may beat the new S8. Also it will weigh around 300kg less!
