Audi S8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2011–2013) — Third Generation
The third-generation Audi S8 brings a performance focus to a large luxury sedan. If you want comfortable everyday travel with strong acceleration, its appeal lies in combining those roles in one car.
The 4.0 AT is one example of the Audi S8 powertrain, pairing a gasoline engine with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The automatic eases the workload in traffic, while all-wheel drive helps put power down when accelerating, particularly where grip is limited.
Base is an equipment configuration offered with the 4.0 AT. When exploring Audi S8 trim levels, check the individual car’s fitted equipment as well as its trim name. Seat adjustment, infotainment features and parking aids are useful areas to examine, depending on how you plan to use the sedan.
