Audi S8 Plus Review, Test Drive, Interior

Brute power and a traditionally unassuming design make the S8 Plus a veritable wolf in sheep’s clothing. The “Plus” means the twin-turbo V-8 now makes 605 hp-85 hp more than before-while a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system makes sure all that power is applied to the pavement in a controlled and civilized manner. The interior is sumptuous and loaded with tech. Despite its conservative styling and perceived sedate luxury car status, the S8 Plus can keep up with nearly anything on the road.

i have a Mercedes S class and also i bot this monster car Audi S 8 Plus is phenomenal ! when i drive it i can't hear a noice! the dynamic system is unvelivable fast and sporty! this car drives you, is in completely controll ! The s class is a wonderful car too but is like a car for company, need a driver and you can enjoy the back seat cause are more comfortable than the audi! but who loves the adrenaline and to drive i recommend this car! is very fast and also the sound is amazing!

Adaptive Cruise is definitely NOT included in the base price. I have an S8 Plus (2016); I DO NOT have adaptive cruise even though I have the dynamic package, the IR vision assistant and the B&O Audio. As a matter of fact Adaptive Cruise is VERY RARE, maybe 1 in 10 A8/S8 cars actually have it.
