I love my 2020 S8. I was tempted to upgrade to the 2023, but there just weren't enough difference to justify the price tag. I agree, though. The car is a total sleeper and a joy to drive. I've shocked more than a couple of performance car drivers with the speed and handling. Great review!
I went from 2015 S8 to 2023 RS7 but unfortunately I had to downgrade due to a huge financial obligation related to a family death. I'm getting close to getting back in this market and the S8 is one of my radar blips.
I had an A8 Sport, fully loaded with virtually everything and jeeze it was amazing. I'd love an S8 at some point based purely on my A8 Sport. Then you see the reviews and that seals it.
Sorry this is my first time watching your channel but great video quick question is that the lc redline in the beginning of your intro or am I trippin correct me if I’m wrong
Electric is fine around town but for that kind of $$ I want a car that I can travel in without waiting 45 min for a partial charge. You're literally a sitting duck there w/ you're 130k automobile too!
Audi has always been about the interior and slowly it started making the most beautiful rears and taillights world has ever seen. The body, no question it’s a German car after all , those lines and elegance Only thing to be solved is front for me. Audi always had and still has front grill as if it was in dentistry with open mouth. Audi usually holded 3 rd place for me on German Luxury sedan lineup, but after latest BMW 7 series definetly Audi is in Second place. I don’t where bmw is heading? As of design ( looks ) Just my personal interest and views. Respectful of all designers and other people’s interests.
I had a chance to pick up an S8 and went with the A8 instead. The 60 tfsi. The 449 hp version with the TT V8. A year later I am sure I made a mistake. Should have gone with the S8.
I have/had all generation of the S8 since the D2. The D2 was the best sound, had a remus exhaust on it. The D3 (V10) was a glorious engine with the beautiful sound of the V10. The D4 was comfort luxury, and super fast and agile. The current one you driving, is not sure to be comfort or agile, the gearbox is always confused, and the turbo boost doesn't kick in quickly like the previous Gen, so you are at the light and you have no idea how the car will pick up ! BUT, it remains super super comfortable, and a looker :) It is less luxurious than the new S class, but then, the S class is more for senior citizens IMO
Great review. BMW messed up their exterior design. Too bad large sedans are going by the downside but as I’m getting older I’m looking less at the rs7 and to the s8
I dig your channel period. That said I have to make a counter point for the S8 being an ultimate sedan on account of the fact that performance wise it’s inferior to Cadillac and even BMW with its inherently understeering AWD and also how the turbos neuter the V8 sound. If you are going off luxury then I’d agree but for performance, feedback and fun factor Audi is far from the best.
S8 for sure but best to purchase these cars used and hopefully with existing or extended warranty. Seeing used one at 40%-ish off the original new price. Seen them on the road and they look like yachts on wheels. Lol
Because the new s63 amg will be double the price of the audi.And some people will prefer audi because it is older and they fixed many of the problems with the facelift.S class is so expensive that you can buy fully equiped audi s8 for the price of mercedes s 500 with not all options.
You have to remember that this interior design is like 5 years old now. It hasn't changed much. I bet the next A8/S8 will be on-par with how the latest S-Class looks.
Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! S8 or S-Class?
Mercedes benz s class obviously .A8 IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE S CLASS And The NEW 7 SERIES .❤❤
@@volvoxc9086 The EQS, yes
@@nishiki393 ANOTHER PERFECT OPTION AS WELL.
S8 is way betta
@@volvoxc9086 This is the S8.
I'm a bmw and porsche guy, but this S8 is the best undercover super sedan going...great review!
wow!

Sorry to hear about the family stuff, but glad things are getting better!
Agreed, this is the best sporty sedan ever made.
This, to me, is the epitome of Stealth Wealth. Great review! 😎

Great video, only thing is the 4.0t is all audi, porsche, bently, and lamborghini, use a audi derived 4.0t, just usually different turbos or a tune
Electric is fine around town but for that kind of $$ I want a car that I can travel in without waiting 45 min for a partial charge. You're literally a sitting duck there w/ you're 130k automobile too!
If it were my money for a 2023, it works either be this or a Panamera Turbo S Sport Turismo.
Looks like someone got some Soul Glow on the driver side head rest
Soul Glow ha ha
Great video! I’m planning on buying one… dream car
Is it really better than a D4 S8 Plus?

If I was the owner of this car, my license plate would've been MBZ+BMW
Was looking at c7.5 S6. Then A8 L sport. But this marries the two and then some. This rules them all…
Great review

Its a luxury sedan car not a rally car.
Best supar car 💓💓💓👋👋👋
I WILL HAVE ONE JUST LIKE THAT IN A FEW WEEKS…….#perfection
Enjoy!

Did you get it 😅
How’s the fuel economy…?
S8 Transporter 😎

Well, there it is.
That is cool
Love the conservative styling and subdued opulence the S8 brings to the table.
nice one
the exterior design doesnt do anything for me
Beast but its so dam plain
Tell me why would i get this car over new s63 amg s ? None
Because the new s63 amg will be double the price of the audi.And some people will prefer audi because it is older and they fixed many of the problems with the facelift.S class is so expensive that you can buy fully equiped audi s8 for the price of mercedes s 500 with not all options.
S8 all the way
We all know they dropped the ball big time on the interior and technology.
You have to remember that this interior design is like 5 years old now. It hasn't changed much. I bet the next A8/S8 will be on-par with how the latest S-Class looks.
it has all the necessary tech and perfect interior...
Des limousine Audi a8
😢😊❤
Audi ain't talking about nothing most people don't know a A8 from a A6 they all look the same
Same as Porsche,no?
Audi is so behind in this particular class compared to bmw and Mercedes.
And always will be worst
Full A8= 150k, Full S Class = 200k, so is Bmw7
@@mhubi2968 the technology is so outdated in the Audi it’s not even funny.
The world is moving on... if it's not electric it's not the best, by definition.
Ohhhhhh, to just be able to AFFORD THE GAS.🤯😵💫😵🤯
If you can afford the car you can afford the gas.
