New Audi S8 rumor.

Post by Riz_RS4 » Sun May 25, 2003 5:53 pm

off another site.
The new S8, planned for early next year will also be based on the Lamborghini engine, V10 FSI engine. This new 5 liter engine will produce at least 450 bhp (new S6 to also use this engine)

Hmmm so what's going to happen to that? Doesn't the current W12 model have ~406hp or something (just from memory)? That should put the S8 at around 450 minimum I'd have thought, maybe even 500. That's the kind of numbers they need to compete with these insane Mercs that keep rolling out. I still like the thought of an RS8. What the hell would that be like?! 600hp twin turbo W12 probably. Mmmmmmmmm nice.
