When are they available? Can you order already? Gotta see this one in person.

Was thinking about Mercedes S Class but if I want power I need to go with the S600 or better yet drop 200 large on an S65! The S8 might be a decent and cheaper alternative and much quicker then the S550! But man would I die for the S65 - hurry up and drop the price to $150k and I'm there!

 

My father owned the previous S8 and has a new S8 reserved for him in the first shipment, ordering is taking place, should be here from late sept-november its Audi no telling when it will be here. Should be a sweet car when he gets his I will go over and drive and take some pictures for you all.

 

If you haven't seen one, check into them for sure. It's an amazing car.

here's a bunch of pics that I shot of them and the RS4 a few months ago

 

Yeah - saw those pics - savd them to my computer in fact.

I really like the dark grey one I keep seeing in a magazine!

 

Looks like an oversized RS4. Does the S8 have the lambo v10?

 

It has a differently tuned (for more torque) version of the Lambo V10 - shared components, not necessarily the same engine.

I bought my S4 at Hoehn - Mike Wille is a great salesman and I had a wonderful experience buying there.

I love the S8 - it would be my first choice to complement by 997 S.

 

I think that's actually the same car. The red RS4 and the S8 went off to the magazines the day I shot the pics. They flew them all in from germany and my local audi dealer was where they staged / prepped them for the mags.

 

I drove a black on black S8 about 2 months ago while it was in Denver for testing. My brother has the first one on order with our dealership so they let us go for a ride in the test vehicle.

I was very impressed. It's a beautiful car and has the typical understated aggressive look of German performance sedans. The interior is typical Audi, in other words, it's nearly perfect. This car had carbon fiber and, after seeing it, it's a must.

The car is quick, sounds great, and feels rock solid. It doesn't feel as heavy as it looks and this engine really likes to rev. It's very quick from a dead stop but it's extremely quick at passing speeds on the highway. The ride is a perfect combo of sporting and comfort.

Audi nailed it with this car, IMO. I can't imagine a better combo of speed, refinement, and all weather performance. Needless to say, I'm jealous of my brother as his S8 is due in soon.

 

Looks beautiful. It would be sweet if I could hear it! S8's have always intrigued me.

 

I wanna ride in one as soon as they get here! Wish the performance was more in line with a CLS55 for the price but definitley better then the S550!

 

I have the old S8 as my daily. Haven't made up my mind yet. Going on a test drive next week, that should help me

 

You know you're going to do it... Post pics when you get it.

 

Here's a review done by "Auto, Motor und Sport TV". It's German, but it contains some pretty hard driving, hitting the speed limiter etc. so it's definitely worth watching!

Sounds pretty sweet if you ask me!

 

Thanks for posting video! That was sweet - think I picked up some german too - lol! The S8 looked so light on its feet and such an awesome sound for that car! I want it!

 

Dont worry 2 months after they are out and with 1k miles on them they will be in the $160k range as all MBZ drop like crazy. That is gonna be one fast *** sedan, dealer in FLA sold one already for $207K.
