courtesy of Car & Driver - May 2001:


"...the S8 now swallows the 1/4 mile in 14.4 seconds...meaning this elegantly posh luxury sedan is as quick as a Honda S2000"

Take it to the track and your opinions will change dramatically.

S8...nice. There were a couple of S4's (one chipped) at a Road Atlanta track day I went to. They were incredibly fast out of the corners and then down the straights, but lost a bit under hard braking and cornering. Any audi looks to be a great car to commute in, though.

We were at the track and there were a couple of A6s and they pretty much held the field up whenever they were running. I'm sure they're fast on the straights, but they don't slow down and change directions very well. They're just too heavy.

S2R,

A6 ---> NOT the same as an S8, but i get your point.

Take each of them out when it snows and your opinions will also change dramatically.
