no I am talking about the new S8. Audi stole the v10 out of a lambo and put it in the S8 comes stalk with 550 hp. also all hand stiched leather and all the goodies you can think of. If your looking for the ultimate in everything its hard to beat the S8. the 6 line is still very sporty to me. It is only a shade bigger then the 4 line. also it has been argued on here before that the 6 is lighter then the 4. So if you want a little more room with a sports car feel get the 6. but if you want to be the baddest dog on your block you can't deny the S8.

The S8 has 450hp not 550, I just got my new S6 (435hp) last week and it's a real blast to drive.
I find the S8 a little too big for my taste but you can't go wrong either way...enjoy !

my bad I was highly mislead. The audi kept telling 550. but after closer inspection you are correct. none the less still an amazing car. and on that note as long as your driving an Audi it will be an amazing car. SO I say good luck.

Agree...smaller is ussually always better IMO. Enjoy the S6 - mighty fine auto. Did you see it beat out the M5 in two recent comparo tests - Car & Driver and either Motor Trend or Road & Track (can't tell the last 2 apart)...

I may know of an RS6 possibly comming up for sale in the near future. The owner - a friend of someone who works for me - just died after an illness. He also had a Porsche 911 of some sort and at least one other (fun) vehical. I'm told his wife doesn't even drive/have a drivers liscence. I even met him twice and talked cars a bit when we last met last summer (I couldn't convince him to race me with any of his cars! lol)
