Traditionally, the Audi S8 has been the brand’s flagship and the pinnacle of technology, safety, and luxury. However, in previous periods, the S8 has mostly been seen as a luxurious automobile with a big engine rather than an engaging, genuinely pleasurable drive.
This is where it all begins to change. For 2022, the Audi S8 will be more athletic in appearance, with a significantly updated 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, voodoo-like predictive air suspension, and all-wheel steering.
