OVERVIEW
For super-sized luxury, Audi’s A8 is sublime. So, then, what of the performance pinnacle of the range, the rampaging S8?
Well, of course - it’s bonkers. Not for any shortcomings though, in fact the complete opposite.
For something so large to sprint so effortlessly, with absolute refinement, is nothing short of madness.
