Audi S8 (2013)
The S8, with a power output of 382 kW (520 hp), is the large sports sedan from Audi. Its sonorous 4.0 TFSI accelerates the S8 from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.1 seconds. The combined fuel consumption of the S8 is just 9.6 liters per 100 kilometers (24.5 US mpg), and it emits 225 grams CO2 per kilometer (362.1 g/mi). The COD (cylinder on demand) system plays a major role here, too. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) sends precise phase-cancellation noise into the interior over the sound system’s speakers to compensate for noise generated in the cabin when running on four cylinders.

The pinnacle of sportiness – the Audi S8 plus
Audi is breaking the 600-hp barrier in the full-size sedan segment. The new Audi S8 plus* produces 445 kW (605 hp) and delivers 700 Nm (516.3 lb ft) to the crankshaft. Overboost temporarily increases the latter to 750 Nm (553.2 lb ft). The large sports sedan sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.8 seconds. The electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph) can be optionally increased to 305 km/h (189.5 mph). *The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of all models named above and available on the German market can be found in the list in the last chapter of this basic information.
