Reviews
- "Beautifully finished inside and out, it excels at high-speed cruising."—Car and Driver1
- "Although the 2008 Audi S8's impressive overall performance still falls short of some rivals, its combination of weather-beating all-wheel drive, stealthy exterior styling and considerably lower price make it a solid choice for a premium luxury sport sedan."—Edmunds.com2
