Audi S8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1999–2002)

Audi S8 Engines and Transmissions

A gasoline V8 powers the Audi S8 in the 4.2 MT and 4.2 AT examples, both with all-wheel drive. The manual gives you more involvement through gear changes, while the automatic makes driving in traffic easier. All-wheel drive helps put the engine’s power to use when traction is limited.
