    I think, that the reason why Audi S8 has that much more HP is because of the fact, that Audi don't want to make Audi RS8, therefore, the S version should be the fastest Audi A8.. If you want Audi A7 with this engine and 150 more hp, buy RS7... Simple as that :D

    I am probably the only person who thinks AUDI's interiors are not all that they are hyped up to be. Just like with the exterior the interior just get dated to quick and its busy-ness is just rediculous. Please try the piano finish and aluminiun trimings on a BMW or any other car with minimalistic interior with piano finish and aluminium trimings.

    • @Plamen2007
      @Plamen2007 Před 3 lety

    Sounds like the engine is limited to fit right beneath the Audi s8, that probably just means you can get >S8 performance with just some software tuning.

    • @naperking
      @naperking Před 10 lety +5

      It is artificially limited, but the main difference between the S7 and S8 is the gearbox. The S7 uses Audi's S-Tronic gearbox, which is only rated up to a certain level of torque. The S8 uses a ZF 8-speed gearbox that is rated to handle the torque found in the S8's "upgraded" engine. You could probably tune your S7 and get close to S8 power, but the chances of your gearbox getting destroyed also go up exponentially.

    • @ThirdLife86
      @ThirdLife86 Před 10 lety +2

      KingPNW True, but still, if you wanted a tune, check out APR or Revo, they'll deliver 560hp with their tunes which takes it up to RS7-Like power. Makes it an absolutely great car with lots of possibilities if you wanted to take the risk.
      Also i may add, APR said the Gearbox is capable of handling the extra torque. Since there is no long-time evidence i myself can't say anything about that.
