For those of you who would love to have plenty of power behind the wheel, and yet not want to fork out the insane amount of money required for a supercar, then the Audi S8 Plus might be worth checking out, especially when it has been confirmed to make its way to the US. The Audi S8 Plus will feature a similar 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 found in the current S8 and the Bentley Continental, but it will boast of 605 hp and 516 lb-ft torque – resulting in a 0-62 time quoted at 3.8 seconds.
This would mean that the other players in the field such as the Mercedes-AMG S63, Jaguar XJR, and Maserati Quattroporte might want to take a look over their shoulders. While pricing has not yet been announced, it should cost somewhere in the region of $140k thereabouts, and expect the Audi S8 Plus to debut in LA with the new RS7 Performance and the second-generation R8 in tow as well.
I can only dream of owning such a ride, where it takes me from a full stop to 62mph in less than 4 seconds is one exhilarating ride. Would you have begun saving up for this ride now that you know it is on its way to be released Stateside? [Press Release]
