New S8 0-60 in 4.7 seconds! - 07-14-2006, 08:30 AM
As tested in the latest Road & Track. 1/4 mile time was 13.1 @ 108.7 mph. They seemed to like it. The car weighted somewhere in the 4,300 pound range. Starting price was around 95k and as tested 112k. For comparison in the same issue they tested the RS4 0-60 in 4.3, 1/4 mile 12.8@109.7 and it weighted 3,920 pounds. These numbers are only slightly slower than the RS6 tested, with the trap speed slightly higher.

Pretty impressive 4.7s for a 4300lb car.

I think the S8 and RS4 are my favorite Audis as of right now, Man what a garage that would be a an S8 and a RS4 avant mmhm

Only a 400 pound difference between the two cars ***? I know the A8 is on an ASF, but still.

Yeah 4,7 sec, i doubt it, but still it isn't fast enough to compete with the real fast sedans/limousines like MBe63/BMW m5/ even Rs 4 is faster !!!

Imagine you drive a S8 and a RS 4 kicks the shit out of you !!!?????????????
S8 SHould at least have 550 HP than there is a difference between te W12 6.0 L !!!

ADIOS,

New RS6 is Audi's answer to M5 and not S8. Who would buy a car the size and weight of A8,7,S to do street races?

I agree completely. The S8 impresses on every count.
