Basically my dream car

When I was working at Audi, I got to drive the 2013 S8 and the 2014 R8. The S8 was absolutely outstanding in every way. Faster, more comfortable, great centre console. Yes, the R8 might turn many heads but this is the most underestimated luxury car there is.

Imagine if Audi decide to make an RS8

There is an RS8 out already. It parks next to my school every day and I see it everytime I walk past it. It's got 21 inch wheels, looks amazing.

Seems Audi has bested BMW and Mercedes yet again....more car, more refinement, for less money.

If you've never actually driven or physically been in a car, you can't judge it. Audi's are soooooo smoooth and always an overall balanced package. Mercs always drive on a cloud but handle like garbage. Even the best mercs are the same. The interiors/dials are toyota like too. BMWs are up there with Audi but they depreciate much quicker plus Quattro trumps xdrive every time.

Its the audis transmission that gives it the edge. 300hp audi's perform like 400 hp cars

I love my S8! :) Thanks for a fair review of this car!

Starts by saying it absolutely not a track car, not marketed as a track car, and shouldn't be used for the track. Does entire review on a track.

Yea, that's to show you how well it did on something it WASN'T designed for, let alone something it WAS designed for. Plus also they need a location for a 0-60mph straight drag, and also for the 1/4 drag, amazing at 3.5 for 0-60, and 11.8 for 1/4 mile.

he said the steering is was too loose, which would change if he had the car's mode set to dynamic, which tights the steering drastically

audi > bmw BMWs be its breakfast. Absolutely no doubt.

The noise it make's when it drift's is terrifying! it sound's like someone's screaming, i am really shaking right now!

Such a beautiful car. It's conservative appearance masks it's incredible performance. I love that about it.

You're driving the most beautiful car, Amazingly. Just give credit where it's due. The Germans are better. Sensational piece of machinary.

Strange it lacks a bumper.

Such a brutal and aggressive machine. I get a kick out of seeing the A8/S8 on the streets, more than I do with a 7 series or an S Class. I would buy one of these over any car in its class in a flash If I had the money.

+Andrew Day I have an RS5 V8 and can testify to the amazing Audi V8's. It is a shame that these will be outlawed in the next few years.

Just got my S8 Dec.2013, in short it's a silent killer. The luxury and performance combination is un-matched for any car in its class. A true driving machine no fuss or gimmicks.

This is what a 4door Lambo would look like, much respect Audi....rt

Well done. Love seeing new vids come up on my subscription list from this channel.

I feel like I'm watching James Bond doing a review of a car. I really enjoy these videos!

never ever doubted audi, they once again made an amazing machine. Thank for the video. Informative, interesting, cool.

The other episodes were find but this one is the best because the host goes into more detail and personal observations - the other ones seemed a little like a sales pitch. thanks for the vid!

Luxurious and a beast at the same time. Awesome engineering!

Had Audi made an rs8? I cannot even imagine that beast

Loving every second of these reviews!

Fastest 9 minutes of my life.Awsome show!!

PDK is not a automated manual, it's fully automatic dual clutch transmission.

just for that aluminium reference alone, i gave it a like. i think that is the main point what turns normal show into a great show. "listening to viewers".

What a brilliant review. Very nicely done, especially the idea of putting that guy in a suit, like every other Sales Rep out on the Autobahn!

I got two things to say; one directed at you and one directed at Ignition. For you good sir, I would like to say, you have a fantastic show! This is literally the perfect thing to watch when I wake up on Fridays now! And I Thank You! To Ignition(I'm putting this here because they don't seem to read the comments on their videos as often as you so I'm hoping you can give them the message) Can you please ask them to mention why they didn't use the TA Viper in that last Head2Head against the sls?

Good review JB ur certainly improving every ep

Just got mine and I love it!

Drove a 2014 last night UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Great episode

Great review.

I love how his expression is like "yeah, I said al-yuh-min-eee-uhm, what you gonna do about it?"

Thank you very much guys, I love Audi cars ...

Exactly better in your opinion. I'm happy that you finally came to that conclusion.

The pro's and con's at the end is a nice add on.

Excellent driver input put into words

Since 1986 I only own AUDIs, they are amazing, awesome cars

1991 here, 1989 TQ Avant, 1994 S6, currently 1996 S6 Avant and P85D. Love the 5 pot turbos.

I drove one and it was soooo fast. Love the AWD and the insane way Audi, like Nissan's GTR, gets all that power to the pavement...immediately! And you can tweak its power upward. Insane. Audi has an S8 Plus with 600HP!

Audi under rated the HP claims on this car by almost 50hp ! The stock dyno runs are not lying! Go check out what APR.com can do with only a reflashed ecu ! This car is a monster!

The Transporter is definitely back in business!!

Well presented. Enjoyed the wqtch

Worth serious consideration...when considering this class of vehicles. Will make an appointment for a fun test drive.

Amazing car. Nice review.

Mine has the same paint scheme and interior as this, but with the 5 spoke wheels. Looks way better. One thing I've never seen in any of the reviews is its ability to raise and lower ride height with the touch of a screen. One of my favorite tech items on it is the nightvision.

Beautiful and an excellent performance/luxury value. where was this filmed?

One of the Greatest car ever built! From active roll bar, electric turbocharger to led headlights and much more! Audi is the greatest car manufacturer in the world!!!

I may be getting one of these soon...

your tie should've been red to suite the red in the S logo ;) Great vid of a great car :)

Amazing and beautiful car!

I don't use this word to describe too many things but this car is f'n BOSS.

How about making an RS8? such that the owner can hire a diver and run a lap in Nurburgring, himself will be sitting in the back seat with a glass of wine waving hand to other super car drivers:D

What a great review. What a great car.

i think this year model Audi S8 2013 one of the sexiest and truly class beast looking car ever

my style of reporting :) Give this guy a raise.

The exact same time from 0-60 as the legendary Ford GT. As well as the same time as the 2013 Shelby GT 500 mustang.

It is so refreshing to here someone here on youtube know what they're talking about (and I'm not saying that because you agree with me). I sure hope BMW implements an AWD system in the M5 soon. It will be one demon saloon from a dig. Thank you for the reply.

For a family luxury car with performance and a sleeper, this would be the car. In my opinion there's no other luxury family car of this size and power that can be driven in the rain and snow with ease.

Wow that front end is leaping for the high heavens!!!!

I bet your the first person to ever wear a suit and tie to Willow Springs Raceway!

The S8 actually uses the higher output 4.0T shared with the RS7, not the regular version used in the S6/S7. They call it 520HP but it is tested closer to 570/580. Oh and with an APR tune it will do 11.1 @ 123 on pump gas.

How to do a road test 101! Great reviewer

that music hes listening to in the background LMAO

Nice suit and tie... Nice car too :)

Serious machinery 👍

Ha! Justin finally pronounced "Aluminium" correctly! I totally agree with his views on Audi's steering. I haven't driven an S8, but I have driven the A8 and an S5 recently and the steering on both is completely devoid of any kind of feedback. It's like playing a video game.

LOVE the S8!

Exactly, people on here are quick to condemn. I actually think his points were valid and well explained.

GT-R is my dream car.i would have one anyday over S8 although i do like the look of the older model

What a ride

One word, WOW!!!!

You're 100% correct. "buttnut105" was waaaay out there on that one. I ended up spending 15k more on a 2013 M5 (back in October 2012) than the GTR I was looking to buy. The a la carte options on BMW are absolutely astronomical. Another great point you made was "you can do much more when you're a dealership". They're so many additional options at the dealer that you can do, that you can't do on the build your car on the BMW website. You know your stuff.

Absolutely beautiful

All-around beast.

I'm in like with my S8! It is simply the best everything car I've owned. And yeah it lays waste effortlessly.

@David holt. The s8 is also awd. Whereas the LFA is rear. More wheel spin off the line. Causing a slower 0-60

Tracking in a suit like a boss

Gorgeous car!

Never was a fan of Audi, until I saw this on the freeway and was like ....WOW! WHERE THEY DO THAT AT? This car is a gorgeous beast.

Time to buy one now to replace my 450 hp Audi A6. ~USD $35K now in Canada. Tuned at stage 2 this S8 is now 800+ hp and 2.8-2.9s to 60, 10.8-10.9 quarter mile..... that's just insane for this kind of car. I can't wait to show up at the drag strip and drop some jaws.

Beautiful!

If I remember right, MotorTrend did dyno test it when they tested it against an Alpina B7, and the S8 was making 570AWHP.

And to add to these; 2013 Corvette ZR1 (RWD) 0-60: 3.4 sec, 1/4 Mile: 11.4 @ 128.8 mph 2013 SRT Viper GTS (RWD) 0-60: 3.4 sec, 1/4 Mile: 11.4 @ 128.7 mph Both tested by Motortrend as well.

Though, now that I give it some thought, even 570 hp sounds underrated for a 4600 lb car to do 60 mph in 3.5 secs. Even with AWD.

Would love to see this next to the new Jaguar XJ-R. That thing is a beast.

I am usually a muscle car fan. But man do i love the audi s8.

Audi S8 for life !

Underrated much

I like the new pros and cons page

I really enjoyed this episode, but I also have a question: Is there something wrong with the sound?

You are right. Also if the M5 had AWD it will make use of it's weight and power very well like the S8 does. I wouldn't be surprised if it did 0 to 60 in like 3.0 seconds or even less. 560Hp and 500lb 4500lb car with AWD will do magic. Good sticky grip at the start and putting it's power on the ground excellent, something the S8 does.

I see many reviews of the audi S8, all of the have the same common-- The car actually faster that Audi claim. My dream car!

there are two good things about this video: the car and the elevator music.
