Audi S8 (D2) 1996

[RandomCarGuy17]

The first version of the Audi S8. I honestly think this would be a great full-size sport sedan to add to the GT car rouster. Honestly, it's not a bad looking car and it has decent performance.

Specs:
Engine - 4.2L V8
Drivetrain - Front Engine, AWD
Power - 340 bhp (250 kw) @6,600 rpm
Transmission - 6-Speed MT
Torque - 302 ft-lbs (410 nm)
Top Speed - 153 mph

I went for a slight thread revamp and decided to add more to my thread.

Probably my favourite shape A8. Unless they ever make an RS8 that is

..............S8? Audi S8?? Then this is fully appropriate.



Apologies for the crappy quality of the vid, if you can find (legal) copy then I wholeheartedly recommend watching Ronin. Probably last great Bob de Niro film before he lost it.....

A brillaint spy thriller, where the elusive McGuffin is not important, but the chase is.
RIP John Frankenheimer (1930-2002).

Edit: I just remembered one of my fav quotes that came from this movie. In a tense scene, protagonists are discussing their plan of action, and one of the men accuses de Niro of "worried of saving your own skin", implying he's a coward. To this, de Niro deadpans, and I quote: "Of course I'm worried about saving my skin. It covers my body."
............Classic.

My cousin has a A8 '94 and it's very comfortable and fun to drive , the V8 is silence even outside the car but it has torque enough to drag the car in quite fast accelerations You have my vote on this S8
