The 2020 Audi S8 is really Fast and MORE Comfortable than a BMW or Mercedes

Awesome video .guys. I still remember when I was at the European press launch of this car last year in Spain.

@8:13 I cringe when people say “ this is the same engine from the Lamborghini.” When in fact, Lamborghini uses Audi’s engines on the Huracan and Urus. The only current true Lamborghini engine is on the Aventador.

[@mehmedl652]

Yep, also key fobs they are quite same.

[@yjpaperboy173]

AJ Lee unfortunately you’re wrong. It’s okay to say it’s the same engine from the Lamborghini only because it literally is. Audi doesn’t produce any engines lol both makers’ engines are made by VW so technically Audi has no current ‘true’ engine if you may

[@aimlikekottm]

The engine in the Urus is from a Porsche Panamera. Lamborghini took many things from all brands of VW, rear axle and air suspension are from the bentley bentayga, plattform and most of dashboard are from an SQ7, so yes, its Audi, they used Audi parts, but not the engine... the engine is based on a Audi, but its a Porsche engine.

[@ajlee6933]

Yj Paperboy1, do you really think I don’t know that VW owns these two brands? In fact we’re all wrong. After doing some research, I found that this engine was actually developed for Porsche. It was first put in the Cayenne, and later the Urus and S8. Surprising, because usually most engines are made for Audi’s and then shared with Bentley, Lamborghini, etc.

[@TristanMcVey]

@@yjpaperboy173 maybe the 2.5L 5 cylinders engine ?

[@fyah2k5]

Most definitely this. I'm all about stealth and not being flashy.

[@goldengod5915]

I'd argue that a Merc S Class or even a 7 Series is also pretty stealthy. They blend right in with the sea of black, sliver and white Audi A4's and Hyundai Sonata's you see everywhere

[@fyah2k5]

@@goldengod5915 well, for me, seeing a 2020 7 series or Merc S class coming at me, I'd definitely notice those, but this, just looks like something you would somewhat overlook, because it just doesn't have that commanding of a demeanor like the other two. I get your point still, but this just looks like something people would overlook compared to the other two, and that's what raises it's allure for me.

[@zerotofifty]

@@fyah2k5 A BMW 7 series is easily noticable even for the untrained eyes.

[@Sickwitit18]

This car is not worth the money. It looks no different than an A4. If you don't want people knowing how much money you spent, then this is the car for you. But for this price there's no way I'd get a car that looks like it's $35k little sister

[@Sickwitit18]

Nowadays they made the C class look too much like an S class and people get then confused. But it still looks much better than this wet towel of an exterior

[@xRIPGODx]

There's a special package for Audi A8 / S8 where the back seat tray also allows you to extend legs BUT it is heats up and massages your feet, that feature does not exist on BMW or Merc :) this makes it better than both

[@logancarter3919]

I used to be a preproduction test driver for Porsche and Audi and the S8 remains one of the best cars I’ve ever driven. It just does everything so well. Looks handsome, feels formidable, sounds menacing, rides like a dream. It’s just incredible.

Great review! I don’t think the A8 gets as much attention as it should. Friend of mine got an ‘06 4.2 for $900 and fixed it. Very far ahead of its time, still felt modern. Not to mention the classic S8 V10 and W12 versions which are SO cool.

[@ONI1013.]

I actually prefer the open pore wood inlets (Ash Gray Brown on the A6-A8) vs the glossy carbon fiber inlets. And yes, I get it’s an S8 so they’re trying to make it “sportier”, but I still think the wood inlays are stunning and makes the car look “warmer” and more luxurious in my opinion.
