Audi S8: Review by AutoExpress

"AutoExpress" has another review of the Audi S8, but this is definitely a nice read.

Big, fast luxury motors are quickly becoming an Audi speciality. In the past few years we've seen the rapid S4, RS4 and S6 prove that the German manufacturer is the master of the executive express. And the even-faster twin-turbocharged RS6 - a car capable of nearly 200mph - finally showed that BMW's M5 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG faced some real competition.

So it always seemed strange that the model at the top of the German marque's range, the spacious S8, was ordinary by comparison. Never seen as anything more than swift luxury transport, it was a car that couldn't call itself a super saloon by today's standards. But that's changing, thanks to a V10 engine borrowed from the Lamborghini Gallardo. Fitted to the latest A8, it puts Audi firmly on the map as the performance saloon king.

A must read!
