Default Der A8 12 Zylinder - S8? - Good Question

Der A8 12-Zylinder zeigt sein Potenzial durch markant dreidimensionale Singleframe-Optik. Die dynamisch-signifikante Front ist Teil der konsequenten Audi Designevolution.
The 12 Cylinder A8 is already on the German Audi site. I read something about the S8 but can't remember where I saw it. Good question. I am not big on 12 Cylinder cars. Would you ever buy a used Jag or 750? I think Audi should go the superchared route like the S55. Maybe they will bring out a supercharged 8 for the S8.

I looked at the Jag XK8 when I got my SL 500 last year. The Jags just seems like the engineering is 20 years behnind the Germans. I love the new 745 but would only get a used one with the 2002s near 48k. If you lease, they run the $799 specials. Still, I have driven the BMWs in the snow and its all about the traction control light. You get real spoiled with the AWD or Quatro. It's not bad going bad going Audi to BMW or Mercedes but you will not last in a Jag.

Default Not in US

I like the diesels and think they will make a comeback. My parents had a 300D back in the 70s (1975 model) and it topped out at 82 mph on the highway. Still, my A8 gets 28-30 on the highway. I bet a diesel would get 35-38 in our cars. The diesel V-10 in the Toureg will make it to the states but it will definately not be in an S model. We got ego at stake here with the BMW M and Merceds S class.
