Our Take:
- The 2003 Audi S8 is a bit of a unicorn in the automotive world. Part of the D2 platform era, this S8 combined luxury with performance in a way that would make any car enthusiast's heart skip a beat. The production numbers were quite modest, especially with unique color combinations—making this model (one of only 100 in North America in its color) even more enticing for collectors or those in the know.
- So, what's under the hood? A 4.2-liter V8 engine that churns out 360 horsepower. Back in the early 2000s, this was a serious power plant nestled within Audi’s flagship sedan. Couple that with Quattro all-wheel drive, and you've got a vehicle that’s not just fast but also handles like it's on rails—even in less than ideal conditions. This isn’t just a car; it’s a statement, gracefully blending German muscle with executive class comfort.
- Aluminum isn't just for your soda cans. The S8’s body was constructed with an all-aluminum space frame (ASF) to reduce weight, enhancing both performance and fuel efficiency. This lightweight frame was actually ahead of its time and paved the way for future innovations in the industry. Plus, with those sleek 18” aluminum rims, this car doesn’t just perform well—it looks the part too.
- Creature comforts included and then some. From heated steering wheels to the “BEST heated seats” front and rear, the S8 pretty much has you covered for all-season comfort. With recent maintenance work—including new Brembo brakes and a fresh battery—this Audi is ready to deliver both performance and luxury on a daily basis. Isn’t it intriguing how such a technological powerhouse from the past continues to hold its own today?
