Road TestCar reviews - Audi - A8 - S8 PlusAudi modelsOverviewAdding the ‘Plus’ tag to the S8 is more than just Audi limousine power play15 Aug 2016 TO PARAPHRASE a certain television tuna commercial, is the Audi S8 Plus the limousine that RennSport rejected? After all, the smaller S6 and S7 ascend into the hallowed halls of Audi’s RS division to become the RS6/RS7. But there will be no RS8, despite the S8 Plus using the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine with matching 445kW and 700Nm outputs. Perhaps ‘rejection’ instead comes in the form of an obsessively dynamic-focused character for what is a stately 5147mm-long sedan.
