The first-gen S8 was 340 or 360 hp in the states. Later models used the W12 which was over 400.

It was 360 stateside. This makes me want to do an LS swap into my A4. I just wish I had money for the engine.

I searched all over for prices for an S8 or A8 engine and couldn't find diddly. Anyone wanna clue me in on the general cost for something like this? I'm really curios.

360hp in Europe too, in 40V guise. 32V is 340, and much more tuneable.

I know the difference between an A8 and S8 motor bud.

My engine is an AHC code, unless you're suggesting Audi got it wrong?

LS1 into Audi = Fail. I say stick with a VW/Audi engine, or you're just bastardizing.
