Audi S8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2008–2011) — Second Generation Restyling
The facelifted second-generation Audi S8 combines a luxury sedan’s comfort with a sporting character. If you want both, consider how its powertrain suits your driving and which equipment matters most to you.
The 5.2 AT illustrates the Audi S8 engine and transmission combination: gasoline power, an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. The automatic handles gear changes for you in traffic, while all-wheel drive helps distribute power between the axles to support traction when accelerating.
The 5.2 AT is available in Base trim, which identifies its equipment configuration. When comparing Audi S8 trim levels, check the features fitted to the individual car, since optional equipment can affect everyday comfort and convenience. Seat adjustments, audio functions and parking aids are useful areas to examine.
