Audi’s technological expertise is evident in this advanced engine, from the lay-out of the cylinder heads with the hot side on the inside, to the twin-scroll turbochargers and the cylinder on demand (COD) system that shuts down four of the eight cylinders when operating under light throttle loads. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system and the active engine mounts suppress undesired noise and vibrations during these phases to enhance the feeling of luxurious comfort inside the cabin.

The eight-speed tiptronic in the S8 offers the perfect compromise between sportiness and efficiency, delivering power to a quattro drivetrain supplemented by a sport differential at the rear axle. Among the chassis highlights are the adaptive air suspension sport and dynamic steering.

As expected of such an exclusive vehicle, an extraordinary level of standard equipment is available on the Audi S8, including highlights such as:

  • 21-inch alloy wheels in 5-triple-spoke S design
  • Matrix beam LED headlights
  • Head-up display
  • Digital TV reception with DAB+ digital radio
  • Heated and ventilated front sport comfort seats, with massage function
  • quattro sport differential that actively distributes torque between the rear wheels
  • adaptive air suspension sport
  • Sports tuned dynamic steering with variable ratio
  • Electric sunblinds for rear doors and windows
  • S specific interior and exterior design touches and special carbon finishes
  • Active lane, side assist and park assist systems
  • Adaptive cruise control with stop and go function including Audi pre sense plus
  • Power assisted door closure
  • BOSE surround sound system
  • Audi connect
