  | Re: Audi S6 and Audi S8 ready for launch !! Stop looking for 0-100 numbers. Thats not the most important thing with a car. The new one will probably be faster to 200km/h and acceleration between 80-200km/h is probably better. Steering, suspension and driving dynamics will be improved as well. 0-100 times is overestimated and boring figure

| Re: Audi S6 and Audi S8 ready for launch !! What I don't get (or believe) is that Audi would make a S8 that is no faster than the current W12 model. There is no way they're going to make an S8 with 450hp, thats the same as the W12. You're going to get at least 550hp in the S8 and RS6 from that Lambo V10, or at least thats what it should be. M

| Re: Audi S6 and Audi S8 ready for launch !! Well, remember that the last A8 W12 actually beat the last S8 in 0-100 km/h....

| Re: Audi S6 and Audi S8 ready for launch !! yeah of course 0-100 isnt everything.. but when it comes to car this size..you cant really expect astonishing track capabilitys .. cause thats not what the customer wants.. there are very few ppl who take their S55´s or S8´s to track... IMO theese cars are all about luxury comfort..and power..and power is a bit low..for such a long development time..and compared to the competition its low to..and if it looks like that..its a bit lame to.. it should be more agressive...
