A8/S8 differences...
Hi everyone, can you tell me what the differences
are between the A8 and S8 to get the extra 40hp, is it just a chip or are there other mods to the
engine/exhaust etc?
Also I need another rear wing, would an S8 one fit
an A8, as I have been told the S8 has wider arches?
cheers

S8 == Stiffer Suspension, higher redline, 40 ponies, bigger brakes...
but that's really it. We've had the discussion a few times and I always leave stuff out when I answer this question. There are some trim differences, too.
I don't think the S8 has wider fender flares like the RS6 compares to the A6 or RS4 compares to the A4 or S4.
A lot of people go for the A8 and do aftermarket parts like H&R coilovers for a suspension that is arguably better than the S8s. They'll also do brake upgrades to brakes that are better than the S8s, too.
