01' S8
01 S8 does not have the sport "S" shifter on the gearbox as an 02 or an 03. Does this mean 01 does not have a Sport mode or do you just go to "4" for the sport mode?

What do you mean by "Sport mode"?
If you mean selecting and holding gears, then you just move the shifter to the right from "D" then either up/down shift by moving the shifter forward/back or by using the buttons on the steering wheel the same way.

Re: 01' S8
I think sport mode was introduced on 02 models. I've just finished 2 months of shopping, and that is what I noticed. And my 02 A4 has it, though I never use it, while my 01 A8 does not. I don't think choosing 4 on the shifter will change the way the computer switches gears (holding gears longer and downshifting sooner), as it does in S.
