Unleash Power and Elegance: Explore the Audi S8 2022 Flagship Model

Review

The recent release of the Audi A8 update marks a momentous occasion for the four-ringed brand, as this model has always held significant importance within their vehicle lineup. The flagship model retains its luxurious status while introducing notable improvements in areas such as technology and its electrified mechanical range.

Of course, it was imperative that the sport version of this executive sedan was included in the lineup, and the 2022 Audi S8 does not disappoint. It maintains its essence and is the ideal choice for those seeking a high-performance vehicle.

Let us begin by discussing its primary feature, which lies beneath the hood. The Audi S8 TSFI Quattro is powered by a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine, incorporating cutting-edge technologies such as selective cylinder deactivation to enhance efficiency. As with other engines in the A8, it is coupled with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, providing benefits such as the DGT ECO label.

While it may not deceive anyone, the Audi S8 is a wolf in sheep's clothing, developing an impressive output of 571 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. It maintains the same levels as its predecessor, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds or reach a top speed limited to 250 km/h.

As with the other versions of this model, this exemplary vehicle is exclusively coupled with an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and the renowned Quattro all-wheel-drive system.

Features

The beauty of the flagship model lies in the fact that the Audi S8 TFSI Quattro comes equipped with a highly comprehensive set of standard features. Its performance is enhanced by intricacies such as the predictive active suspension system, the sport differential, and the dynamic all-wheel steering.

It is noteworthy that this model is exclusively available in the long-wheelbase body style, the A8 L, and is sold in select high-performance markets such as China, the United States, Canada, and South Korea. In our country, it will be available starting from December at a base price of 164,300 euros.
