The Audi S8 has been built since 1996.
The D4 S8, the most traded version: The D4-generation S8 represents Audi's flagship performance sedan at its most refined, packing a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 producing 520 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque. This aluminum space frame marvel could sprint to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds while maintaining the composure expected of a luxury cruiser. The S8's party trick was its cylinder deactivation system and adaptive air suspension that could transform from autobahn missile to boulevard cruiser instantly. With Quattro all-wheel drive and an 8-speed tiptronic transmission, it delivered supercar acceleration wrapped in executive anonymity. The 2013-2018 run marked the end of an era before electrification began reshaping Audi's performance hierarchy. Clean examples with full service records are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate understated German engineering excellence. The S8's blend of luxury appointments, technological sophistication, and brutal straight-line performance makes it a compelling modern classic for the discerning enthusiast.
