Hello
Whats the maximum towing weight for an S8 on a braked 4 wheel car trailor?
Considering 400Kg Brian James trailor and 1100kg car on it.

Hi Bill,
I wasnt sure myself so I asked on your behalf over on Tyresmoke.net.
Think this is the info you were after:
From the S8 brochure:
Trailer weight limit;
Unbraked - 750Kg
Braked on 12% gradient - 2300Kg
Braked on 8% gradient - 2300Kg
This seems to suggest you will have no problem at all. There were also some suggestions about the Tow Hook, audi did a detachable hitch for the S8.
Some other replies were talking about nose weight, I dont pretend to have the foggiest idea what they are on about if you would like to look for yourself click the link
