Audi has revealed an even hotter version of its already mean S8 limo. Not a fully fledged RS8, the new model wears the S8 Plus title.

The S8 Plus features a more powerful 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 that produces 445kW of power and 700Nm of torque, with an additional 50Nm in overboost mode. That’s 63kW and 50-100Nm more than the standard S8

For reference, that surpasses the 5.5 litre twin turbo of Mercedes-Benz S63 limo by 10kW (but is still up to 200Nm down on torque) and allows the S8 Plus to sprint from 0-100km/h in a scant 3.8 seconds.
