The stunning new S8 plus has been unveiled and is the latest addition to Audi’s flagship saloon line-up. This top-of-the-range model combines A8 luxury with sports car performance.
Based on the current S8, the 4.0 TFSI V8 bi-turbo engine has been modified to achieve a power increase of 85PS – bringing the total output to a breathtaking 605PS.
Combine this with 700Nm of torque (750Nm with overboost) and the S8 plus can accelerate from 0-62mph in a supercar-rivalling 3.8 seconds. This makes the S8 plus one of the most powerful four-door saloons on sale today.
It’s not just the performance that has been enhanced over the standard S8 model. Equipment such as 21-inch five-double spoke black alloys, sports exhaust and high-gloss black exterior styling all come as standard.
The Audi S8 plus is a statement of impressive sportiness. The lines follow a clear, expressive design. The standard spoiler lip on the boot lid immediately catches the eye and is also available in Carbon on request. The standard Audi Matrix LED headlights illuminate the road in high-precision beam with 25 individually controllable light-emitting diodes ensuring that oncoming traffic is not dazzled, setting new standards in safety.
Highlights include:
Exclusive optional equipment will be available for the S8 plus. This will include:
The new model will open for ordering in October, with the first UK deliveries expected in January 2016. Further information and full technical details will be confirmed later this year.
