It's not your average executive class sedan. Boasting a 0-60 mph time that puts rivals to shame, the 2013 Audi S8 makes a play for supercar status. As Justin points out in this week's episode, it's performance is impressive enough to make you "Stoplight Hero" in any neighborhood.

When I was working at Audi, I got to drive the 2013 S8 and the 2014 R8. The S8 was absolutely outstanding in every way. Faster, more comfortable, great centre console. Yes, the R8 might turn many heads but this is the most underestimated luxury car there is.

@bobbytsai9574 10 жыл бұрын

If you've never actually driven or physically been in a car, you can't judge it. Audi's are soooooo smoooth and always an overall balanced package. Mercs always drive on a cloud but handle like garbage. Even the best mercs are the same. The interiors/dials are toyota like too. BMWs are up there with Audi but they depreciate much quicker plus Quattro trumps xdrive every time.

he said the steering is was too loose, which would change if he had the car's mode set to dynamic, which tights the steering drastically

Yea, that's to show you how well it did on something it WASN'T designed for, let alone something it WAS designed for. Plus also they need a location for a 0-60mph straight drag, and also for the 1/4 drag, amazing at 3.5 for 0-60, and 11.8 for 1/4 mile.

Such a brutal and aggressive machine. I get a kick out of seeing the A8/S8 on the streets, more than I do with a 7 series or an S Class. I would buy one of these over any car in its class in a flash If I had the money.

To Ignition(I'm putting this here because they don't seem to read the comments on their videos as often as you so I'm hoping you can give them the message) Can you please ask them to mention why they didn't use the TA Viper in that last Head2Head against the sls?

Mine has the same paint scheme and interior as this, but with the 5 spoke wheels. Looks way better. One thing I've never seen in any of the reviews is its ability to raise and lower ride height with the touch of a screen. One of my favorite tech items on it is the nightvision.

The S8 actually uses the higher output 4.0T shared with the RS7, not the regular version used in the S6/S7. They call it 520HP but it is tested closer to 570/580. Oh and with an APR tune it will do 11.1 @ 123 on pump gas.

You're 100% correct. "buttnut105" was waaaay out there on that one. I ended up spending 15k more on a 2013 M5 (back in October 2012) than the GTR I was looking to buy. The a la carte options on BMW are absolutely astronomical. Another great point you made was "you can do much more when you're a dealership". They're so many additional options at the dealer that you can do, that you can't do on the build your car on the BMW website. You know your stuff.

@David holt. The s8 is also awd. Whereas the LFA is rear. More wheel spin off the line. Causing a slower 0-60

@bigkevfromno 11 жыл бұрын

Though, now that I give it some thought, even 570 hp sounds underrated for a 4600 lb car to do 60 mph in 3.5 secs. Even with AWD.

Ha! Justin finally pronounced "Aluminium" correctly! I totally agree with his views on Audi's steering. I haven't driven an S8, but I have driven the A8 and an S5 recently and the steering on both is completely devoid of any kind of feedback. It's like playing a video game.
