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.

Everything is trimmed with precision and tight tolerances, down to knurled aluminum dials and glass-effect buttons.

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.
