FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2024 Audi S8, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The regular A8 doesn't have the kind of authoritative power delivery you'd expect of a flagship luxury sedan, which is where the S8 comes in. Does zero to 60 in the high 5s seem a bit pedestrian to you? How about the low 3s? Yes, the S8's twin-turbo V8 delivers insane acceleration, although we wish it didn't share the regular A8's mandatory long-wheelbase layout. This kind of performance is best without those elongated rear doors.
The 2024 S8 is offered in just one mechanical configuration. Hit the link or button to read our editorial summary and see detailed specs.
