Ausi S8 cannot be compared to S55...
...thats what I've read in Sport Auto Magazine, after they've tested the new Audi S8!
The whole article was a bit dissapointed mooded. They said, that the marketing of the new S8, that says "Audi with Lamborghini engine" made them think, that they will get something more than an M5 or an S55 AMG. But the S8 is nothing more, than a fast limusine. It's not about driving pleasure... They said the W12 A8 has more tourque and same HP.(S8: 540Nm, S55 more than 700Nm)
The sound is impressive, but after they testdriven the S55 AMG, that would not be a question, which one they'd choose...
Not good news for Audi... Good news for MB...
