Audi S8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2005–2008) — Second Generation
The second-generation Audi S8 combines a luxury sedan’s comfort with a more sporting character. It suits you if you want strong acceleration alongside a spacious, refined setting for longer journeys.
The Audi S8 engine in the 5.2 AT is a naturally aspirated gasoline V10, with increasingly forceful acceleration as revs rise. The automatic transmission eases everyday driving, while all-wheel drive helps transmit that power to the road. Expect substantial fuel use, particularly on short journeys around town.
