AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/19 Report--

It is mentioned that Audi's performance code name is not only "SPORT" (S), but also the more powerful "RACING SPORT" (RS). However, because Audi's RS is reflected in the performance sports car, not in its commercial A8 model, so the brand's most powerful large luxury sedan is only the S8.

Recently, online channels show that the Audi S8, which has not been replaced in China for a long time, has finally attracted reservations for new models. According to the exposure information, the S8L has begun to accept reservations, and its price has also been exposed to 22.077 million yuan. Although some media have confirmed the authenticity of the news, it did not disclose more about its price, as the new Audi S8 will launch standard wheelbase and extended wheelbase versions in different regions.

Obviously, the Audi S8 model introduced in China is different from before, and the model introduced will also include an extended version. It means that the new car will achieve greater space comfort while taking into account stronger power. after all, according to the previous S8 model, except for the advantage in width, the length, height and wheelbase are not as good as Audi A8L, the length, width and height of the car body are 5147mm * 1949mm*1458mm, the wheelbase is 2994mm, and its wheelbase does not even know the current domestic A6L.

In terms of appearance, the new generation of Audi S8 uses a new family design language, which is not much different from Audi's new A8 as a whole, with a chrome-plated grille in the hexagonal intake grille of the front face and an "S" logo in the grille to highlight its identity. In addition, the new car also incorporates many sports elements, such as silver rearview mirrors, huge brake calipers with Audi "S" logo, more aggressive forward vents and 4-outlet exhaust.

In terms of interior decoration, the new car is the same as the ordinary version of A8, and the three large screens in the central control part are full of science and technology. In order to highlight the identity of the performance car, the S8L also adds carbon fiber material to the door panel and is equipped with a leather sports seat with a rhomboid grid, giving consideration to both sports and luxury.

As for the power is the embodiment of the new S8, equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbine engine and 48V light mixing system, the maximum power is 571 horsepower, the maximum torque is 800 Nm, and the breaking time is less than 4 seconds. It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with all-wheel steering and four-wheel active suspension system.

The S8L model is also rare in China, not only because its high price exceeds the scope of most A8L models which are biased towards business, but also because of its similar appearance design that many people regard it as A8L, which is far less well-known than the S-class AMG of Mercedes-Benz, which is also one of the main reasons for its low domestic ownership.
