Audi S8 Quick Review
2015 Audi S8
Over Christmas I was able to test the new 2015 Audi S8 back in California. I decided to take this beautiful car up the Highway 1 from Los Angeles to San Francisco. It was a beautiful, comfortable drive with an amazing scenery to say the least.
The Audi S8 has a Twin Turbo V8 with an output of 520 HP and 650 NM of torque (481 lb/ft). I have driven many fast saloon cars, but this one is seriously the quickest of all. Motor Trend has tested this car on their drag strip in Fontana, CA and reached a 0-60 mph time in 3.5 seconds and hit the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds, which is absolutely insane for such a huge car. The very quickly shifting and very responsive 8-Speed ZF-Automatic is a huge part of this insane acceleration.
The car is very quiet and luxurious in the interior, which makes it a very comfortable cruiser. The test car was also equipped with active cruise control and active lane assist, which meant I only had to roughly steer the car in the right direction on the twisty 1 Highway, and the computer would do the rest. This was really nice for me, because I could actually enjoy the view as much as my passenger.
Overall I am very impressed with the Audi S8. It has so much performance and so much comfort that it is the best all around car in this class in my opinion.
