A fast, refined sedan
When going fast isn’t enough, a sports luxury sedan like the 2015 Audi S8 amps up both speed and refinement. On the performance side, a twin-turbocharged V8 engine gets paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which puts power through a full-time AWD system. That means the 2015 Audi S8 delivers sharp handling in tight curves and solid grip in poor weather. But, as a luxury sedan, there’s no shortage of refinement on the interior, like massage seating and heated or cooled seats.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Audi S8
1. High-end interior refinement
Enjoy adaptive air suspension that adjusts automatically to changes in the road surface, smoothing out bumps and rough surfaces. That active damping makes driving in the 2015 Audi S8 feel like riding on a cloud. Plus, a solid interior build helps insulate outside noises from the cabin, so the only sound you hear is the music from the sound system or the V8 engine up front.
2. Packed with luxurious comforts
The 2015 Audi S8 delivers a comfortable experience indiscriminately to the front and rear passengers. Front passengers enjoy supportive and well-cushioned seating, which includes standard heating, cooling, and massage functions to melt away tension from the day. For passengers in the rear, look for the Cold Weather Package to add heated seats, complimenting the already executive-style seating.
3. A high-performance sedan
Stay planted and in control with Audi’s famous Quattro® AWD, putting down the 2015 Audi S8’s power to the wheels with the best traction. That delivers improved traction in the rain or snow for added confidence behind the wheel. Or, get your heart racing when the 520 hp twin-turbocharged engine and quick eight-speed automatic transmission rocket from zero to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. In other words, let the 2015 Audi S8's sharp handling and brisk driving dynamics get your adrenaline pumping.
4. Innovative available driver aids
Take some worry out of a long freeway drive while technology like adaptive cruise control keeps the 2015 Audi S8 a fixed distance from the traffic in front. Or, see what’s hidden with the night vision camera, which highlights hidden objects after dark. You get all of these features in a 2015 Audi S8 equipped with the Driver Assistance package.
5. Innovative use of technology
Take control of the 2015 Audi S8’s functions via the eight-inch high-resolution screen at the heart of the infotainment system. For example, a touchpad in the center console lets you draw letters or numbers to search for contacts or navigation destinations quickly. Or use the center dial knob to select and control any comfort or technology feature settings in one location. Finally, stay connected via the available 3G Wi-Fi hotspot, part of this standard tech suite.
