Body differences between S8 and A8L??
I'm deciding between a 2008 A8 and a 2007 S8. I am wondering are there any body differences between the two models? I'm thinking about getting an A8 and then making it into a pseudo S8 (Change wheels, chip maybe, etc.) The only thing I don't know is if the body is different.
Thanks. |
The A8L is about 3" longer, in teh rear-door/backseating, I think. Never measured, just applied my kaly-braided-eye. Other than that, most everyhing else should be interchangable.
|
The A8 and S8 are the same length, the A8L is almost half a foot longer in wheelbase.
115.9" VS 121" |
Remember the S8 will also have more expensive repairs and different issues with the engine if any.
|
Go drive both, then ask yourself if you could give up those extra 100hp and the awesome sound of the V10, the crisp handling of the sport suspension and the ultra-exclusivity of owning 1 of about 200 S8s imported to the US in 2007. If the answer is yes then get the A8L. :confused:
|
They seem so different in their purpose. If I had the money, which I never will, I'd go S8 without even thinking about it.
Kudos to you for being able to afford it, I'm envious. |
Well, I went with the A8L. I'd love to have that S8 but it was at the top of my range and I was feeling guilty for spending that much. . . :confused:
I think the next one will be the S8 if I enjoy the A8L. :D |

Trust me, I've never bought brand new and never will. But a 2 year old S8 is retarded money still. |
