2007 Audi S8 quattro AT6

2007 Audi S8
This car is big, and at an estimated 15 mpg city, it likes gasoline.

We spent time with a 2007 Audi S8 around the the World Headquarters. This is Audi’s flagship car, and it shows. It runs a 5.2-liter V10 through a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine is rated at 450 horsepower. It might seem strange that Audi has a V10, but thanks to Volkswagen’s purchase of Lamborghini a few years back, it’s possible.

The S8 rolls on big 20-inch wheels.

This car comes well appointed from the factory, however, they still manage to get some options on the price sheet. This particular car has the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound Package, a $6300 upgrade. There are speakers everywhere, and two speakers literally rise out of the dash in front.

All told, this car costs $110,170.00 as optioned, base price is $92,000.
