I like a lot A little disappointed with the 400 lbft of torque. I guess it's not bad for a N/A engine, but it's only 20 lbft more than mine... Still think I prefer the older shape one like in Den's post
sorry, couldn't resist Just read the full report on fortitude. It weights 1940 kg, but still manages 5.1 s to 100 km/h Talking to the guy who owned the B7 S4 (4.2 V8) at Ed38, he said he was running 400 bhp from a cat back exhaust and remap. I wonder what such goodies could yeild on the S8?
Click Me I reckon that will go for cheaps..... yet another bargain!! Unrecorded too (although no keys )
I've got a mate who has just bought a A8 diesel quattro. Its bloomin huge! The inside is like a gentlemans club. Its got every gadget imaginable. Telly, built in phone, sat nav, paddle shift gearbox, memory seats, etc. . . Only cost him 40k
These are cars only to have when new. They are cheap after 7 years because hardly anyone can afford the running costs on them. I know of someone who bought an S-class and the autobox went - 6k repair bill! Don't think he thought he got a bargain after that!
I was at the point of buying one in Dubai. They have no suspension travel. Big service bills. Very nice interior, well made etc. VERY dull to drive. Sound great. A huge disapointment on what I expected it to be, I really wanted to like the car. If you don't like driving, it's perfect. Hope the new one is better. Dave!
