That's insane for such a big car....but..... the 2013 with 520hp was tested by MotorTrend and did 3.5 seconds to 100. The S8 plus has 85 more hp and 72 lbs feet of torque more than the 2013.

But we all know the 2013 was severely underrated.

Want it 3,5 to 60 mph?

Also, is the chassi any different from the regular S8? The Plus seem to oversteer alot more and generalyl be a fun car for such a HUGE size.

2100+ kg without any pperson in it :O

I don't think its different. I believe its just some extra PSI from the turbos

I think the extra power just makes the car more prone to break traction and slide. Both cars are rear bias, so more power would make it more pronounced.

While true, he was comparing Plus and non-Plus S8's, both of which have the sports diff.
