“We have further sharpened our large sport sedan,” says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member for Technical Development at AUDI AG; he continues “The new Audi S8 plus has a substantial gain in power and defines the pinnacle of sporty performance in the segment. That is why ‘plus’ appears in its name.”
Compared to the regular S8, the S8 Plus gets a lip spoiler at the back that is painted the same color as the exterior, although a carbon fiber version is also available. The flaps in the side air inlets and the blade on the front apron are also made of carbon fiber. The mirrors can also come in either gloss black or carbon. Lastly the Singleframe grille and double bars are in gloss black, while the honeycomb structure of the side air inlets and radiator screen are in matte black.
Inside the S8 Plus contrasting stitching in Arras red is used throughout the black full-leather interior.
