Description

Up for sale is a 2001 Audi S8. The car is in pretty good condition but it will need some work. It has a fuel system issue where it will cut out below a half tank of fuel. I think it needs a fuel pump. I was going to fix it and daily drive it this winter, but I have too many other projects. The car has 142k miles and lots of maintenance records. The body on the car is all aluminum. The 4.2 V8 runs strong. The timing belt, engine mounts, and transmission mounts were all replaced 10k miles ago. If...

Our Take:

Aluminum Body: The 2001 Audi S8 is a part of the Audi D2 series, and its all-aluminum body is a standout feature of this model. Not only does this reduce weight—enhancing performance and handling—but it also offers a bit of a vintage allure since fully aluminum bodies aren't too common nowadays.
V8 Powerhouse: Under the hood lies a 4.2-liter V8 engine that's known for its robust performance and reliability, a feature that enthusiasts appreciate—this isn't just any luxury sedan; it's a genuine beast when unleashed on the open road. Audi's engineering in this era was all about blending performance with luxury, and the S8 still holds a special place in the hearts of its fans.
Transmission Tale: The seller mentions the automatic transmission as the D2's Achilles' heel, and indeed, it was a known issue. However, with this unit having a remanufactured transmission installed just 30,000 miles ago, it's a significant plus for potential buyers because it mitigates one of the major concerns associated with this car.
A Collector's Touch: This S8 comes with RS6 wheels and Brembo front calipers, which not only enhance its performance but also add a touch of personalization that's often appreciated among collectors. For someone aware of Audi's sporty history, these modifications could be an appealing factor.
