Default New S8 questions if I ever buy the car

1. What exterior and interior colors and exterior/interior color combinations will be available on the new S8?

2. What interior trim choices will be available for the new S8?

3. Will Audi Exclusive be available for the new S8 in North America like it is on all other versions of the A8/A8L?

4. Will exterior and interior colors, exterior/interior color combinations, interior trim choices and other features that are normally not available on the new S8 in North America be available by special order, just like all other Audis in North America?
I would more than love to have the amaretto interior with the amaretto alcantara healiner, amaretto leather door panel inserts and amber sycamore wood interior trim of the A8/A8L and the extended aluminum interior trim of the A8L W12 in the new S8. The northern blue pearl effect exterior of the A8/A8L would also look nice on the new S8.

5. Will the North American spec new S8 have a full size spare tire with matching alloy wheel like the overseas spec new S8? Also, will 275/35R20 tires fit on the wheels and in the wheelwells of the fenders and quarter panels of the new S8 without rubbing?
If the answer is yes to both of these questions, will a 20 X 9.5 inch wheel with a 275/35R20 tire fit into the spare wheel and tire well in the trunk of the new S8 without having to bear the burden of deflating the spare tire, even the least bit?

6. How long will it be before the awesome four-wheel composite disc brake rotors become available on the new S8 in North America?

7. How long before the ventilated front and even ventilated outboard rear seats and seat massagers for the front and even the outboard rear seats become available with the sport seats that the new S8 has that are mandatory on this car?

8. How long before the heated steering wheel becomes available with the multi function three-spoke steering wheel that is mandatory for the new S8?

9. Will the new S8 come with Valcona leather or Silk Nappa leather?

Default Way too early to be able to answer these questions; give us at least another month or so.

That car won't be here until Sept/ October.

Default Re: New S8 questions if I ever buy the car

1. Exterior - Light Silver, Daytona Grey, Night Blue, Brilliant Black, Phantom Black, Quartz Grey and Ibis White

Interior - Silver/Black with Black or Silver Headliner, Espresso Brown/Black with Black or Light Grey Headliner and Silver/Light Grey with Silver Headliner.

2. Interior wood depends on interior color or Carbon Fiber as an option.

3. Only by special order for now.

4. Yes.

5. Don't know yet - Up to 305 will fit - 275/35-20 will not fit in the well.

6. 2008

7. Never

8. Again most likely never in North America

9. Valcona as on all A8 models in North America

Sounds like Daytona Grey is the only exclusive S8 color?
