sedans have a stigma for being strictly used for carrying people from point ‘a’ to point ‘b’. AUDI wants to change that with bold update to their staple ‘A8’ luxury sedan. with a new power output of 605 hp and a top speed of up to 305 km/h, the new AUDI ‘S8 plus’ delivers a whole new set of standards that not many gasoline powered sedans can preform. the german engineers pulled out all the stops with body almost made entirely of aluminum that brings the weight down to just 231 kilograms. accompany that with it’s most advanced V8 biturbo engine, the ‘S8 plus’ accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.

an eight speed tiptronic distributes the power to a quattro drivetrain with a sport differential. chassis highlights include the adaptive air suspension sport and dynamic steering, both of which chassis experts tuned specifically for this model. cosmetic details include a standard spoiler lip on the rear lid, and flaps in the side air inlets with a black front apron made of carbon fiber. the dual branch sport exhaust system into two oval gloss black tailpipes on the left and right. the interior embraces a black paint trim with red thread accents, gray dials, white pointers, stainless steel pedals and a three spoke sport leather steering wheel. the AUDI ‘S8 plus’ will be available at the end of november for a test drive.
