The Audi S8 is a high-performance executive sedan that hides serious power beneath a refined exterior. Its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, paired with a mild-hybrid system, delivers 563 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. With a 0 to 60 mph time of just 3.8 seconds, the S8 rivals sports cars while offering the comfort and space of a limousine.
Beyond the engine, the S8 features predictive active suspension, dynamic all-wheel steering, and quattro with a sport rear differential. These technologies work together to give the car a dynamic character, minimizing body roll while allowing precise and composed handling. Whether cruising on the highway or carving up a back road, the S8 maintains its poise with athletic grace.
Design-wise, the S8 keeps things understated. Subtle S-model badging, larger air intakes, and quad exhaust tips are the main external clues to its performance. Inside, the cabin is a showcase of materials and technology—Valcona leather, ventilated massage seats, and OLED ambient lighting create an atmosphere of tailored sophistication. It's the stealth performance flagship in Audi’s lineup—seriously fast, effortlessly elegant.

Body Styles
Luxury Sedan (S8) a four-door executive performance limousine with a long wheelbase and an understated, athletic design. Featuring a wide Singleframe grille, OLED rear light signatures (post-facelift), quad exhausts, and subtle S-model details like aluminum-look mirror caps and bespoke front/rear fascias, the S8 merges limousine luxury with performance-car aggression. The car rides low, broad, and confident — especially when equipped with optional 21-inch wheels and black optics.

As with all S models, it balances subtle aesthetics and brutal performance for buyers who prefer stealth wealth.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The Audi S8 is offered in a sophisticated yet expressive color palette that blends classic luxury with subtle aggression. Standard finishes include Glacier White Metallic, Mythos Black, and Daytona Gray Pearl, while more exclusive options such as Vesuvius Gray, Ultra Blue, and Firmament Blue add depth and uniqueness. The optional Audi Exclusive program allows customers to choose from an extensive catalog of custom paint finishes, including satin, pearl, or heritage tones — enabling highly individualized configurations that reflect personal taste.
Inside, the cabin is a masterpiece of Audi craftsmanship. As standard, the S8 includes Valcona leather upholstery with diamond contrast stitching in shades like Black, Rotor Gray, or Cognac, while optional Audi Design Selection packages elevate this further with extended leather surfaces, Alcantara headliners, and decorative inlays in Carbon Vector, Piano Black, or Natural Gray Ash. Ambient lighting offers 30 colors and a distinctive LED light strip running the width of the dash. Seat designs include 22-way adjustability, ventilation, heating, massage, and rear executive comfort seats with deployable footrests in the 4-seat configuration.
The instrument cluster is dominated by Audi’s Virtual Cockpit Plus — a 12.3-inch reconfigurable display — paired with a dual-touchscreen MMI system and optional rear-seat entertainment tablets. Everything is trimmed with precision and tight tolerances, down to knurled aluminum dials and glass-effect buttons.
Wheel designs start at 20 inches, but most S8 buyers opt for the 21-inch multi-spoke or Y-design forged alloy wheels, offered in Anthracite Black, Polished Graphite, or fully machined finishes. These can be paired with optional carbon-ceramic brakes and red or gray calipers, highlighting the performance lurking beneath the executive surface.

vs Competitors
The Audi S8 competes directly with the BMW M760i xDrive, Mercedes-AMG S63 (W223), and Lexus LS 500 F Sport. Compared to the M760i, the S8 delivers more focused handling and a lighter, more agile feel due to the absence of a V12. Against the AMG S63, it is subtler in design but similarly explosive in performance, especially with predictive suspension. Versus the Lexus LS 500, the S8 feels much more modern in infotainment and dynamic technologies. What sets the S8 apart is its ability to blend supercar-level performance, state-of-the-art tech, and full-size luxury without shouting about it, making it a favorite among discreet power-seekers.
Fun Fact
The 2022+ Audi S8 with Predictive Active Suspension can raise one side of the car in corners, leaning into turns like a motorcycle — a system so advanced that it can even lift the car by 50 mm in 1 second when a door is opened to ease ingress, showcasing Audi's obsession with blending luxury, tech, and control.
