We've got our hands on every generation of Audi S8, and we will discover how far this luxurious cruiser has actually developed for many years! Let's take a closer look at the stats …
The very first Audi S8, the D2, was revealed in 2001. It was powered by a 4.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that produced 360hp and 430Nm. This power was sent out to all 4 wheels by means of a 5-speed automated gearbox, and it weighed in at 1,750 kg. As brand-new, back in 2001, it cost from ₤ 61,399.
Next up in 2005 was the D3. It housed a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 under the bonnet, which developed 450hp and 540Nm. It's geared up with 4×4 and a 6-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,940 kg. When brand-new, it cost from around ₤ 71,000.
Up next, we have the D4. It's powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this produces 520hp and 650Nm. Power is sent out to all 4 wheels by means of an 8-speed vehicle gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,975 kg. New in 2012, it cost from ₤ 79,000.
Then, lastly, we have the current generation, the D5. Much like the D4, it's powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this develops 571hp and 800Nm. Power is sent out to all 4 wheels by means of an 8-speed car gearbox, and it's the heaviest vehicle here, weighing in at 2,220 kg. It's also the most costly, being available in with an eye-watering ₤ 118,000 cost!
So how will this one play out – will the D5 prove its dominance? Or will one of the older models spring a surprise? There's just one way to learn for sure … LET'S RACE!
