The Audi S8 is a high-performance version of the Audi A8, an executive car produced by German automaker Audi. The Audi S8 is an extremely fast, hard-accelerating luxury sedan that exhibits none of the ride and comfort compromises that too often limit the appeal of more hardcore sport sedans, such as Audi’s own compact RS 4. The S8 isn’t intended to be a snap-shifting corner carver — though it can do that — but a large yet discreet high-performance sedan for people who disdain wings, spoilers, iridescent paint and hood scoops that make obvious their car’s sporting intentions.
