S8 or A8 W12 ?

Both of them got 450hp, but after that the differences are bigger.

W12 against V10

Luxury against sport

Which one would you take?

Audi S8



Audi A8 L 6.0 W12

Re: S8 or A8 W12 ?

Now for me, the BMW fan this really wasn't the hardest poll in the world!

Of course I'd go for the amazing S8 will a Lambo V10, why would you go for anything else!

A8 w12, It looks alot nicer, the S8 looks really ugly to me and I saw a blue A8 w12 @ the detroit autoshow and i have to say that and the RS4 are the only audis that get my attention... also why buy a sporty car thats as heavy as an oxe in the first place its just unecessary. Its smarter to just opt for an ///M5

Re: S8 or A8 W12 ?

well of course if you want the most sporty 4 door car you can buy you would get an m5 or a rs4. also some people want to have a sporty high end luxury car and thats more of my type of car and the looks are more impressive to me.

Re: S8 or A8 W12 ?

I'm going with the S8. More sporty if you ask me.

Re: S8 or A8 W12 ?

I'd choose the A8 W12.
Sporty cars could get weary after some time and then you'd appreciate and prefer the comfort, smoothness and silence that you always will have.
Performance and road handling of the S8 is better but the W12 is also a good perfomer.
If you really want something sporty, you'd choose a car from a different segment.
