Two very different sounding cars. The uncamouflaged one is clearly a V8, and it has the ‘S’ quad exhaust tips so that’s a no brainer S8.
The camouflaged one though did not sound like a V8, though I think it also had quad exhaust tips. However the dazzle wrap makes it hard to pick out that detail on camera.
If an ‘S’ model in testing then possibly an RS8 with the TT W12 from the Bentayga, as that engine is supposedly coming to the D5 A8.

A new spotted video of the S8 on the 'ring.
I need some kleenex. This car sounds amazing.
What surprised me most of all was the Scandinavian mode was enabled so the tail lamps were on even during the day!

I agree 100%....that car sounds amazing!
I'm wondering if they'll go with body-colored mirror housings rather than the aluminum usually on all Audi S versions...it would make the car even more stealthy than it already is.
Also, there was some discussion about the new S version only being offered in the L body style rather than the standard body length....has anyone been able to confirm this?
