2015 Audi S8 4. 0 T Quattro WR TV POV Night Drive

This week were behind the wheel of the Audis full sized luxury sedan, the refreshedfor2015 A8, here in performance specification as the S8. The big Audis Quattro allwheeldrive system is an ideal fit for Michigans currently wintery weather so much so that we really couldnt keep ourselves out of this bruiser from Ingolstadt and decided to include a third night time drive video to see how the S8 fared in the snowy conditions with compromised visibility. The S8 is powered by a twin turbocharged 4. 0liter V8 that outputs a decidedly healthy 520 horsepower and 481 poundfeet of torque. That powerplant is hooked up to an 8speed automatic transmission which sends the twist to all four wheels. Thats enough to get the nearly 4700pound S8 to sixty miles per hour from a standstill in a mere 3. 9 seconds on its way to an electronically limited 155 mile per hour top speed.
