Default Audi S8 in Top Gear Episode
Thought everyone would like to know that the famed D2 Audi S8 was used in the most recent season of Top Gear! (Season 17 Ep. 4).

They used the S8 as a train to pull cars because of it's power and AWD capability w/ quattro

Cool.... You would think the 04 S8 would be better with the steep 4.17 first gear in the 6 speed. But then again, cost of a D3 over an D2...

Can't wait to see it here in the US.... They always make us wait for it... grrr.....

We watched Season 7 Episode 10 (Winter Olympic Special) last night. That featured the Q7 (diesel).

Season 4 Episode 4 features Jeremny in the A8 TDi while trying to do London > Edinburgh > London on a single tank of fuel

Season 7 Episode 4 features the RS4 in France, great photography!

My suggestion would be to get both and quaff the beer whilst watching Top Gear.
