The German Tuner strikes again with another record-breaking beast, this being a good competitor for the other team’s huge Sedan the BMW M8 with 700 Horsepower under the hood, and a lot of torque to play with.
The fans can’t wait to buy these models as they don’t really know if Audi is going to release another model really soon, this being the only substitute available for now.
Audi Sport is aware of the fact that SUVs are a hot commodity these days, thus being the reason why it has expanded its portfolio in recent times to incorporate the RS Q3 / RS Q3 Sportback, SQ7, SQ8 / RS Q8, and others. At the same time, the Four Rings are as aware as before there’s still a crucial section of the market interested in sedans, which is why it hasn’t abandoned the once traditional body design.
With no RS8 insight, the epitome of an Audi sedan is certainly the S8. It combines all the luxurious and pizzazz of a high-end sedan from Ingolstadt with the powerful engine you’d expect from a fully-fledged sports automobile. The twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 makes 571 H.P. And 800 Newton-meters (590 pound-feet) of torque, however, the German tuners at ABT have massaged the powertrain to extract even additional power. The outcome is a super sedan with 700 HP and a monstrous 880 Nm (649 lb-ft) on tap, good for a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) sprint in an exceedingly mere 3.4 seconds. Flat out, it’ll do 168 mph (270 km/h) provided the S8 is provided with the optional ceramic brakes. These numbers are quite spectacular once you think about the car’s size and weight – 5179 mm (17 feet) and 2,230 kilograms (4,916 pounds).
ABT did more than simply upgrade the V8 as it also put in a custom 21-inch set of alloy wheels additionally as a trunk lid spoiler made up of carbon fiber. These are refined visual changes to notify aficionados they’re not seeing a daily Audi S8. Pictures of the inside haven’t been provided, however, we tend to do know the start/stop button wears ABT branding, and so will the duvet of the gearbox lever.
Audi hasn’t aforementioned a word concerning whether or not there’ll be another S8 plus further down the line, so for the present, ABT is providing a substitute.
