Dark Gray Audi S8 from Norway in Skopje Macedonia.This 2008 Audi S8 has V10 engine that produces ... bhp.I found this great car near one big mall..The V-10 engine puts the S8 in the same exclusive class as BMWs M5, Dodges Viper SRT-10 sports car, and Lamborghinis Gallardo supercar. In fact, Audi supplies the Gallardos 513-hp V-10 to fellow VW Group member Lamborghini, and this sophisticated, somewhat tamer, 40-valve aluminum ten-holer is a close relative.Displacing a relatively modest 5.2 liters and boasting FSI (fuel straight injection), Audis first-ever V-10 generates a scenery-blurring 450 hp at 7000 rpm in the S8 and 398 lb-ft of torque between 3000 and 4000 rpm, with 90 percent of that available as low as 2300 rpm. While the BMW, Viper, and Lambo V-10s deliver 500 ponies or more, this one trades some raw power for luxury-appropriate refinement. Its fuel is high-pressure-injected directly into the cylinders, its magnesium, two-stage variable intake manifold breathes through two separate air paths with twin air filters, and its four chain-driven overhead cams are continuously hydraulically adjusted.The S8 is distinguished from its ordinary A8 cousin by a bold eggcrate grille, and with LED daytime running lights (DRLs) allotted five-to-a-side — like its cylinder count — in Gatling-gun arrays inside its headlight clusters. Bi-xenon adaptive headlights, which turn with the steering to light up more road during cornering, and LED brake lights are standard. V-10 badges grace its flanks, while a subtle spoiler and quad oval exhaust tips (smaller than we think they should be) enhance its going-away view.Audi is known for simply designed but beautifully executed interiors, but this quiet, commodious cabin is at once much plusher and more complex than its usual fare. The three-spoke steering wheel, complete with audio controls and power tilt and telescope adjustments, is trimmed in smooth leather with beautifully detailed stitching. Standard interior trim is gray birch wood, but shiny (plastic-looking) carbon fiber is optional, and the 16-way seats are Valcona leather. Audis big-knob Multi Media Interface (MMI) system controls most major functions, but its much less annoying and more user-friendly than BMWs infernal iDrive.
Deep pull-out door bins, DVD-based navigation and Bose Surround Sound premium audio (with its six-disc CD changer hidden in the extra-large glovebox) are standard. Optional for a whopping $6300 is a Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System with 1000+ watts and 14 speakers, each with its own tiny amplifier, two of which are high-frequency tweeters that pop out of the dash like boxy metallic gophers.
Audi invests time and money to develop such powerful, athletic S models (including the V-8-powered compact S4, the faster-still RS4, and the also V-10-driven S6) for three good reasons: to provide sensuous driving joy for affluent enthusiast buyers; to demonstrate its high level of technical competence; and to conquest demanding new customers. Though it will be both costly and rare, with only 1000 planned for the U.S. market, were confident this sinfully powerful S8 will be up to all three key assignments.
