1. Plenty of available modern technology
If having the latest and greatest at your fingertips is a must, the 2014 Audi S8 immerses you in modern automotive technology. For example, the Audi MMI® infotainment system is standard, displayed via an eight-inch high-resolution touchscreen. Or, use a remote touchpad to trace letters when searching for music or contacts. Finally, web-based navigation uses Google Earth™ for increased visual route accuracy.
2. Road-hugging handling and performance
Live life in the fast lane in a 2014 Audi S8, which blends snappy acceleration and precision handling. At 550 horsepower, the twin-turbocharged V8 engine and snappy eight-speed automatic transmission get a 2014 Audi S8 from zero to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds (when new). Plus, the air suspension adapts to road conditions to stiffen the ride, reducing body roll, which keeps the 2014 Audi S8 composed in sharp turns.
3. A refined interior
Decorated using high-end materials and touches of luxury, the 2014 Audi S8 interior delivers comfort and luxury. For example, the front seats feel plush and supportive, massaging away the day’s stress. Or stretch out in the nearly 39 inches of rear legroom. Finally, high-end materials and a solid build keep out any outside noise while the air suspension soaks up bumps from rough roads.
4. Loaded with standard luxury comforts
Equipped from the factory to pamper you, the 2014 Audi S8 includes a complete list of standard luxury features. So enjoy comforts like four-zone automatic climate control, heated and cooled front seats, diamond cross-stitch leather seating, and power rear sunshades. Plus, the standard features extend outside the cabin to include soft-close doors and a power trunk lid.
5. Available advanced driver assists
Let the active technology in a 2014 Audi S8 with the Driver Assistance package take the edge off your next highway drive. By adding adaptive cruise control and forward collision mitigation, the 2014 Audi S8 automatically maintains a set distance from traffic in front of you. However, lane-keep assist is a separate package, so you’ll need to look for a 2014 Audi S8 equipped with the Lane Assist package as well.
