The fast family car nobody ever talks about: Audi S8 Plus

[@doca8792]

This is what Audi is all about. I have a 2003 RS6, slightly tuned twin turbo V8, coilovers with a slight stance…total sleeper, comfy, wife and kids with all our stuff, 6 way heated seats front and rear, white Napa leather, carbon fiber, etc… This is why I love Audi.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

I’ve driven a C5 RS6, coilovers swapped just like yours. Amazing car… the driving dynamics, the brakes, the turbo power. It’s definitely a classic 👍. What tune do you have on it? The one I drove was on the stock 450hp map.

[@dylan4972]

Not sure an RS6 is considered a sleeper.

[@georgfranko]

There is a reason why I love Audi , currently with a A6 C7 with the 3.0 V6 Diesel and my next car will be a A8 like this one ( D4 ) it’s literally all the car you will ever need

[@imlevitating___]

Bro I had a 2016 A6 TDI and tuned it with APR - loved it!

[@AdamOzturk]

Just a comment about the carbon ceramic brakes. Yes, replacement is expensive, but the rotors should outlast the car. When I replaced the pads on my 911 with PCCBs, I was at 140,000kms. Rear pads were still at 60%. Rotors were 98% all around. They weigh HALF what steel brakes weigh, and create zero brake dust. The ridiculous braking power is just an added bonus. Carbon ceramic brakes are ideal for a road car.

Just bought a 2023 S8! Phenomenal! I like Low-Glitz performance! Interior...Savage!

[@ふるたまさひこ]

Am driving 2016 S8(not plus) for 7years in Japan. It’ll coming 300k kilo maybe next month that is 190k miles in the States. Very nice one indeed with high stability, high performance with comfortability😊

[@KevinHernandez-ji4jw]

Is it expensive to own? Like in terms of problems or maintenance

[@ふるたまさひこ]

@@KevinHernandez-ji4jw Finally, it drove up to 300,000.-km and engine stopped at last minutes. To fix it, need to replace whole engine with cost me 30k〜40k USD. No need to say that is cost without transmission and air suspension so total costs will be skyrocketing.

[@Mini-Driver]

You were right in my county. Could have came to help me change the clutch in one of my MINIs.

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

Biggest problem of some luxury ones is the existence of s class s63 amg coupe..it just looks inside out 50 levels above..and that engine

[@BrandonTMons]

I don't agree. S8 Plus has better performance too.

[@geoffoakland]

In the movie Ronin, there is a great car chase with an Audi S8

[@ihamptonii]

I really like these cars but the up keep for me is hard to justify. Probably better to rent one on long weekends if you can find one.

[@Faas4life]

love my s8, like you stated - its a rare car~!

[@MrBjm18]

I hate that wood trimming around the dash and doors and gear console..I wanna change it. How did you get that carbon fiber trimming for the rear climate control and the rest of the car?

[@dontbekurt]

According to the car's owner, it came that way.

[@getoeasy1570]

Audi S8+ 2017 model is the best S8 ever engine car.

[@user-Nils742]

There is a reason less people speak over the c7 and Audi cars with similar interior.. because it’s from 2012

[@dontbekurt]

Agreed... I got another review of another similar German car with a similar issue coming.

[@NumiPFCTelevision-vd1gm]

The s8 is a beast a sleeper and puts alot of cars to shame

[@jamesgermain8466]

I love those cars, especially the S8 Plus ... but I'm single so I mostly get coupes for right now...might just just say f#@k it after another raise and get one of these and a cls 63s amg , there's some sweet deals out there on them

[@dzevdet5889]

Audi has been always nice car

[@thePraddagee]

What’s the difference between the S8 and the S8 Plus?

[@GeneMacGreyFan]

Horsepower and some Upgrades (Brakes, Exhaust, etc.)

[@dutchschaefer5787]

Also the S8 Plus is built by Audi Sport like RS6/7. The normal S8 isn’t. The Plus has the exact same engine and drivetrain as RS6/7 performance.

[@Squeedlyspooch3]

The s8 plus has billet turbos too.

[@samadhe8048]

Audi Richmond va!!

[@karlknocker7007]

omg...rhere is a reason why nobody talks about thie car.....MONEY PIT

[@robertdaone]

I don't talk about my Audi because it leaks oil all the time.😆

[@Comexcyc849]

A family car that will make many family broke to maintain😂, or it will brake down on the way when you family need it. So this is not a “family” car by any means. For most family.

[@HamishCarpenter]

Audi makes great cars - you should own one before commenting. Nobody wants an unreliable American made POS.

[@samspade8830]

​@@HamishCarpenterNobody wants a German, over-engineered POS either. The best is Japanese for reliability.

[@Marius9453]

got the s8 2014 and indeed the price for new ceramics, timing chain replacement, and air suspencion change is costing a nice new house. would concider buying a s5 or m4

[@qayimrahimi4530]

420 subscribers lool

[@dontbekurt]

🤣 ah man I missed the moment

[@gooden000]

The big issue with audis is that they are a nightmare to work on...engine and transmission out if it needs a timing chain...1 day to change a starter...lmaooooo

[@dontbekurt]

You’re absolutely right.
