Audi S8 quattro: Watch out world!

Nice review from UK about the Audi S8.

The real laughs, though, begin when you investigate the paddle shifts. Usually, I disregard these because they never seem to add that much to the driving experience, but I tried them early on in my time with the S8. The car was transformed. In normal D mode, it's fast; and the S sports mode is more rapid still, with more of that metallic growl emanating from up front. Play around with the paddle shifts and suddenly you're in a great big Lamborghini with four doors and an Audi badge. It's like administering mind-altering drugs to some sober-sided German businessperson. That, alone, is enough to justify the S8's existence.
