W12 for me..with the S8 rimms.. i dont like the S8 grill.. its ugly...
The W12 is gangstar

Oh, sorry about that.

S8. Two completely different characters behind the wheel.

S8 for me too. Sportier, more vocal, sportier interior. W12 is the limo of the two.

The W12 for me as well. It's a lot more incognito, yet still has the same specs as the S8.

W12 for me!

I doubt the two cars are that dramatically different as you guys make it sound, but yes I would take the sportier of the two in the S8 as well as that choice carbon fiber interior. I also like the S8 because it's the shorter wheelbase, and if I'm driving, it won't affect my legroom.

I also doubt that their characters are as much of a dichotomy as it might sound. Against the larger backdrop of the rest of the automotive world, they'd probably be closer than they were apart.

Nevertheless, for this poll, I'd probably take the W12. If I wanted a true sporting car, then I'd get something else, smaller and lighter. I don't need my large luxo sedan to be sporty, I'd want it to do what it was 'meant' to do - carry people in comfort. To that end, though I like the SWB versions' looks better, the LWB is pretty nice (one of the nicer LWB luxury sedan versions, along with the XJ8).

I also like the W12's grille better, and also the exhausts (except that they have the bumper plastic going underneath the exhaust outlets) and the wheels as well.

I voted for the W12. It's just that in some cars, luxury matters more that sport. And it does in A8.
A8 was built to be a luxury sedan and not a fast one. I'm a luxury fun and anytime i take luxury over sport.
Then since both have 450HP it's not difficult since you don't ''lose'' hp so it's up to you top decide.
And yes, the S8 grill is disgusting

IN this case... W12 for me.

Normally I would go for pure sport, but then I tought about it and realised that if I were to purchase an A8, luxury would be a proirity.
