What do you think of the Audi S8? Better than a BMW 7 Series or a Mercedes S-Class?
S-Class
S63 amg is better than it
Yeah s63 for me
Definitely S-class
S class is king. The S8 looks a bit cheap in comparison.
At 8:06, there's a dude doing "we're not worthy" from Wayne's World. I respect it.
i was just about to post that XD
Lmao just saw that too
can they bring that dude back again?!?!? @thestraightpipes
I’ve seen him in other Straight Pipes videos too
It will be my next new car. Not joking.
8:06 someone praying to their god the straight pipes
chinese prayer
yeah i saw that too
"We're not worthy!" -Waynes World
I saw that in one of their other video too, i'm sure it was the same guy.
john mastrella M760Li
You guys that are just noticing 8:06 need to watch the older reviews while under self-isolation.
Awesome video .guys. I still remember when I was at the European press launch of this car last year in Spain. I was driving and pushing it hard in the roads outside Barcelona and it's amazing how a huge car like this, handles like an RS3. Amazed by the adaptive suspension and four wheel steering. Cheers
Auditography what color is that one
Does it have the horrible understeer like an RS3?
t-bone do you drive an rs3?
@@t-bone9239 2:54 he literally explains this. Pay attention kid.
Auditography and Ro Cars r the only 2 car channels that matter.
Look at the man on the right at 8:06 😂
*First Time Here Huh?*
What is he doing
Probably a Muslim Praying on Road! xD
@@BeastMK that's not how we pray 😂
Looks like a VW Golf Wagon
Most definitely this. I'm all about stealth and not being flashy.
I'd argue that a Merc S Class or even a 7 Series is also pretty stealthy. They blend right in with the sea of black, sliver and white Audi A4's and Hyundai Sonata's you see everywhere
@@goldengod5915 well, for me, seeing a 2020 7 series or Merc S class coming at me, I'd definitely notice those, but this, just looks like something you would somewhat overlook, because it just doesn't have that commanding of a demeanor like the other two. I get your point still, but this just looks like something people would overlook compared to the other two, and that's what raises it's allure for me.
@@fyah2k5 A BMW 7 series is easily noticable even for the untrained eyes.
This car is not worth the money. It looks no different than an A4. If you don't want people knowing how much money you spent, then this is the car for you. But for this price there's no way I'd get a car that looks like it's $35k little sister
Nowadays they made the C class look too much like an S class and people get then confused. But it still looks much better than this wet towel of an exterior
@8:13 I cringe when people say “ this is the same engine from the Lamborghini.” When in fact, Lamborghini uses Audi’s engines on the Huracan and Urus. The only current true Lamborghini engine is on the Aventador.
Yep, also key fobs they are quite same.
AJ Lee unfortunately you’re wrong. It’s okay to say it’s the same engine from the Lamborghini only because it literally is. Audi doesn’t produce any engines lol both makers’ engines are made by VW so technically Audi has no current ‘true’ engine if you may
The engine in the Urus is from a Porsche Panamera. Lamborghini took many things from all brands of VW, rear axle and air suspension are from the bentley bentayga, plattform and most of dashboard are from an SQ7, so yes, its Audi, they used Audi parts, but not the engine... the engine is based on a Audi, but its a Porsche engine.
Yj Paperboy1, do you really think I don’t know that VW owns these two brands? In fact we’re all wrong. After doing some research, I found that this engine was actually developed for Porsche. It was first put in the Cayenne, and later the Urus and S8. Surprising, because usually most engines are made for Audi’s and then shared with Bentley, Lamborghini, etc.
@@yjpaperboy173 maybe the 2.5L 5 cylinders engine ?
8:04 little peasant in the background praising the S8!!
Aaron Ganz ya
@Aaron Ganz 7 SERIES TRASH POO POO KIDNEY GRILL
@@D00M3DG4M3R the new one is but the last one was nice
@@shuaybnoori1458 yea i agree fs
S8 is so gangsta
I used to be a preproduction test driver for Porsche and Audi and the S8 remains one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. It just does everything so well. Looks handsome, feels formidable, sounds menacing, rides like a dream. It’s just incredible.
8:05 this guy is worshipping the car 😂
Worshipping BMW
@@dmg8529 lmao
There's a special package for Audi A8 / S8 where the back seat tray also allows you to extend legs BUT it is heats up and massages your feet, that feature does not exist on BMW or Merc :) this makes it better than both
Lipskas Exactly, this is shown in Rory Reid's video of the fully loaded s8 on the channel AutoTrader
@Danny Hayson yup
Executive rear seating package
@Danny Hayson lol.
It's an option that is $7250 USD. I want this car, but because I don't want to get married or have kids, I don't think I'd get it.
7:15 thats doug de muro level of quirk & feature right there. *A M A Z I N G*
A men of culture
Doug has Quirk & Feature trademarked, so that's why they came up with "gimmick" instead. =)
Great review! I don’t think the A8 gets as much attention as it should. Friend of mine got an ‘06 4.2 for $900 and fixed it. Very far ahead of its time, still felt modern. Not to mention the classic S8 V10 and W12 versions which are SO cool.
There was a time where I wanted screens everywhere for everything, but these days I really want physical buttons and knobs
Its all thanks you consumers that complains too much and when they do what you wanted you hated it........
That interior at night looks like a movie theater.
Love the camera work in the intro! Flashy yet smooth.
I got a 2020 Audi S8 four weeks ago. My last car was a 2018 BMW 750 and I an a big BMW fan. Now that I have had some time to live with this car I can say it does everything better than the BMW. This might be the best car I have ever owned.
My S8 went 10.8@129 mph with just an APR tune.... No one at the track could believe it.... I loved that car.
We neeeed more night shots plzzzz 😂
It's stealthy, fast, tech-laden, and cool. I'd pick it over the BMW.
Love these, always catch my eye when I see one. Perfect mix of class and performance
Such a beautiful montage. Amazing music (engine revs too)! Keep it up guys!
Me, on the right, worshipping your videos whenever a new one comes out 8:03
The slight jokes they have are hilarious 8:05
Was that their idea or was it just a fan? Lol
Your dad they said one of their friends(brother?) helps them out with filming every now and then
This! Is a 2020 Audi S8 and I'm gonna go through all of its gimmicks and features, then I'm gonna take it out on the road, and finally, I'm gonna give it a straight pipe score
I hope Doug reviews it. I think it would get a strong Dougscore.
2:25 tell me why that snowman hella cute tho
Agreed
You can equip the Executive rear seat package, which will give the center console with Trays and the foot rest in the seat.
And the footrest is heated too
9:54 - if you're experiencing issues with your T.V., either return it for a new one or file a warranty claim. LG OLED TVs are their super premium, highest end TV and they should absolutely fix it for you.
wtf, i had to watch that intro 3 times, the car hunkers down!
Straight pipes thank you, the s8 review is top notch!
Definitely going to rewatch Ronin this week, great review!
8:05: The guy bowing down to the S8 going by was a nice touch and cool Easter egg 😉
m760i...
'
I imagine they pre-cleared the roadway for the shot, asking that guy to park for a bit, and directed him to perform the goofy bowing. Very funny. Either that or he was part of the production crew.
Good catch
If you’re trying to fix audio lag on an LG tv, look into getting a surround sound processor that allows you to set audio or video delay so you can sync the two. I believe those from Emotiva can do this as well as Rotel.
This car screams I don’t give AF. Love it
This is easily the best looking of those four.
1) Mercedes
2) BMW
3) Audi
Whats the 4th one?
@@abdulahadtanvir8106 Lexus ls?
@@abdulahadtanvir8106 g90
DaBaltimoron definitely
From a styling perspective I'd say:
1 Lexus LS
2 Audi S8
3 Merc S63
4 BMW M760Li
5 Genesis G90
8:06 wtf
Aldin I thought the same thing 😂
I was about to point that out too🤣
Hes not worthy
They do that from time to time
you must be new here :)
I used to joke "look out Doug, here they come" but now it's not a joke! You guys are crushing it!! Best cars first, and you are excited to drive them. That energy transfers to us, the viewers. Better Hussle Up Doug, they're gunning for you 🙂
I love your videos, I am always entertained by them. In the future can you maybe review the Shelby GT350R
This audi s8 makes me feel teansporter.
Simple design.
I actually prefer the open pore wood inlets (Ash Gray Brown on the A6-A8) vs the glossy carbon fiber inlets. And yes, I get it’s an S8 so they’re trying to make it “sportier”, but I still think the wood inlays are stunning and makes the car look “warmer” and more luxurious in my opinion.
I've always loved how understated the S8 is.
Love the videos, could you show what cars have under the hood? I mean for future videos
Definitely the best.
This and the LS are definitely my favourite ones.
Anthony José they are the most unique .
Last time I was this early, it was “here’s what you can expect from this review” 😳
One of the best cars you’ve reviewed
5:38 The Audi A8 also has the 4 Seat option, with the continous console. It also has the option with the tables and the front passenger seat folding away and massaging your feet, with heating.
0:22 Is this car made by Razer ? It has more rgb than a gaming keyboard...
and more cheap plastic than a gaming keyboard
Lol 😂 Chroma RGB and lots of plastic
Have both of you ever sat in this S8?
@@mladenbro8435 they can't even dream of it.
stillatin true
The interior lights at night make it look like a party taxi
S8 is a packed beast! I love your car reviews! I'm planning to buy 2020 Audi S7. Can you guys please do a review of it?
Quite nice!
Hope you do an RS6 Avant C8 review soon guys!
13:58 - You guys went into the future to film this? AWESOME!
lol
April 3rd this year is a Friday...
I like this version, but my favorite is the 2nd Gen S8 (2006-2010) with the 5.2 V10 from the R8 and the Gallardo.
Cool but unreliable
As a previous owner, they weren't that unreliable. Not like the 4.2....
@@klwarhouse never had problems with our 2008 4.2
@@patteyh Was driving a 07 A6 4.2..... but its spending a week getting its timing chains fix. Dont have experience, but read this very common on these engines?
@@klwarhouse there is no car that dont need to change driving chain.
I’m a technologist at Audi, it’s called a key user code that comes with the spare key. After purchase the Audi connect 6 month subscription is activated via tablet then you must enter the vehicle and add the key user code into the MMI which activates the SIM card inside that allows for WiFi.
The engine looks and sounds like the Cayenne Turbo you reviewed but the S8 seems visually to be slightly quicker. Good review as always.
I'm an Audi fanboy lol, I definitely think it's better. If I had the money I'd definitely go for it!
Hey yuri, isnt there a AV Sync setting on LG tvs to edit the delay between picture and sound?
About the Audi exhaust tips... RS have always been dual exhaust single-large-ovals and S versions have always been a dual exhaust double-ovals. Great review guys!
Another great review.
So handsome from outside
Tha interior is amazing
piano black :-(
It looks pretty boring, actually.
Audi interiors are known for being very nice and this one is a couple notches higher than most Audis.
Those shifts sound soooo good omg
my step dad owns one of these, such high quality, the seat massagers are comfortable too. 10/10 would recommend if you can afford it
I've never in my life heard a title more sponsored than this.
*"Peasant Blockers"*
Great review guys. Always loved the A8. Please review a Cadillac CT6-V. That definitely competes with this. Thank you.
yuri was spot on regarding the target market
mercedes first, audi, them bmw , also i love this video, it was great
What was the music between the 'going for a drive' and 'Audi s8'?
Great video guys! Listen up - you have driven number of high(er) end vehicles - some of them seemed to have headlight washers - something you do not really mention in your production. Could you elaborate if headlight washers in this S8 work and if headlights are auto-levelling? Is this version with dot-matrix headlights? Night test? Keep up great work and stay safe!!!
Yuri, run your audio for your TV through a decent AV receiver, you can set a delay for the audio track, if you use HDMI/digital input/outs.
Yuri upgrade your HDMI cable to HDMI 2.2
Shout out from Steeles and Leslie fan!!!
Yuri should review aftermarket infotainments. Not necessarily on this channel, but it's something I would love to watch.
I just looooove how it looks so subtle.
If I hit the lottery and want to spend big bucks on sedan. This is for me.
Big power sleeper. Go richly unnoticed some...
When I have a kid or two, I can swap out the R8 for this :D
Smart. I don't want kids, but they would be two VIPs in the back.
And i sure hope they dont break those audi tablets. This car is so perfect tho. Love those tablets for having a larger screen on long trips 👍
Yeah especially if you want a car that looks like a big toe! From R8 to S8... Dang. What a drop in beauty. You don't like the RS7 or anything?
@@Sickwitit18 the C8 RS7 isn't available in North America yet. That's the car to carry more stuff. The S8 is for carrying people, even though its trunk is pretty big.
@@snakeeyes9246 yeah the S8 can definitely fit full sized adults in the back better than the RS7. But if they're just kids and you wanna keep some sportiness and beautiful looks from the R8 it's a good choice! At least until they become teenagers haha if they're tall
my 1996 LS 400 has light up seatbelt "receptacles" for the front passengers. It doesn't look as fancy as the Audi's but its great to see someone is still doing it @ 13:34
I hit the like Burton beacause of the air vent!! Love you too guys!!
I was thinking maybe in 4 years I can afford a pre owned one of these cars , then they said $10000 brakes …….
Those breaks last forever
03:06 Transporter❣️
did you know that this car has active noice cancelling ? thats why it is so quiet ! keep up your great works guys !
Reset your TV settings to factory and do the setup again. That will sort it out as i had the same issues with mine. Good luck mate 👍
review the Audi RS6 and compare it to the M5 Comp and E63S
M5 comp will smash those cars
@@albanian1242 i dont think soo
@@lukeoldebraten6890 check the specs and videos
Albanian 12 e63s
@@albanian1242 yea m5 comp what about the rs6 perfromence you get what i mean you cant compre the m5 comp too standard rs6
8:05 That is what will I do when I see a Audi S8
Yuri, you mentioned an audio lag with your TV... I have experienced an audio lag on my Sony LED TV too. I use said TV as a monitor for my computer, and I noticed (specifically when watching RUclips) the audio lag. I was restarting my computer thinking it was to blame, but it wasn't. I discovered switching inputs (form HDMI to AV1, then back to HDMI) cured the lag! It doesn't happen often, but when it does, that's my 'fix'.
As for the car, I'd _probaby_ have the Benz, but I really want the Audi *just* for the B&O sound system! LOL
S8 always reminds me of the movie Ronin. What you guys said is so true.. I'm in my mid 40's.. this car is absolutely beautiful in my eyes. 'Just flashy enough'.
The person who buys this, is very confident of himself. That's sums up everything 😈🤘
8:06 wtf 😂
Stolen comment
@@maxx.a8302 but this one has emoji in it.
@TheStraightPipes For your AUDIo lag on your TV, if you are using a soundbar or home audio system receiver, you can change the sync time of the audio and video in the settings.
Imagine this engine, air suspension, and rear wheel steer on an RS4 avant or rs5 sportback!!🔥🔥
YES! I was waiting for this video! The S8 is a true sleeper
RS7JR I “literally” have no clue what your moaning about. The S8 is a sleeper (faster than it looks), whats your problem?
Love the Audi. I would have the S8 over the beemer or Merc.
kristian weston a man of good taste i see. I drive the previous generation A8. Best car ive ever had.
S63 all day over the s8 😊
@Jakub - I like the new watch. Omega Seamaster Chronograph? I'm a big fan of your SKX-007, great mechanical watch!
Ha Ha Ha - the praying guy in the background was funny. - In the new Transporter Movie: Hero makes the sun visor test before chasing through the city :-D
They should buy one for everyone
as the owner of an 2017 s65 sedan im sticking with the s class
Actually what love about this car is that it isn’t overt flashy from the front. But you hit that gas and it’s a lion.
I’m in love with the previous s8
