Default Audi S8 "Suspect"

I had not seen this commercial on 9/5 NFL's debut.

Audi will be showcasing the "S" 6,7 and 8 in the upcoming '13Superbowl

...and if you look at the picture of the tach on the S-8, the redline is 6000. My S5 redline is 7000 and the RS5 is 8000. Granted, as I understand it are three different V-8's, but seems strange. Is the difference being blown?

Yes. Different engine tunes.

Rs5 naturally aspirated engine needs the higher revs to generate the Hp.

S8s engine uses twin turbos to produce the 520 Hp. The blown engine would not do well at 8000 rpm LOL.

I've driven them both. They are both really fun cars!
