4N MY21 Sedan 4dr Tiptronic 8sp quattro 4.0TT As luxury limousines go, they don't come a lot more intimidating than the Audi S8. The 420kW/800Nm twin-turbocharged V8 engine is capable of propelling the more than two-tonne S8 to 100km/h in a staggeringly fast 3.8sec and works in with predictive air suspension and all-wheel steering to provide a special driving experience. The S8 utilises Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system, driving through an eight-speed tiptronic auto transmission. All this in a luxury limo that boasts extensive leather trim, heated, cooled and massaging sports seats, self-parking capability, side and rear window blinds, four-zone climate-control, HD Matrix LED/laser headlights, soft-close doors and a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D Sound System.
