Re: Audi S8 - road test (MANY pics!)

Those are some really great pictures. Honestly the A8 is growing on me and my appretiation for it increases every time I see it on the roads. I need to see the S8 in black and I also want to hear how that engine sounds.

The car would be perfect without that pretentious bling bling grill

Re: Audi S8 - road test (MANY pics!)

Design wise this car is awsome and I'm really loving it but can someone tell me why the rear brake discs are so small for such a big car? They should be AMG sized.

They look small cause it's 20" wheels... I don't think they are small at all.

The most of the weight in the A8 is front biased so It's only natural that the front brakes will being doing most of the work.
