I don't recall an S line A8 package along the way...

the steering wheel look did change as I recall with the fishmouth grill update. There is also the wood grip option on some.

I have a A8 Sport. Here in Aus, we had a sport package that included sport seats, sport suspension, paddle shifts, and three spoke steering wheel, 20" wheels, and tweaks to shift pattern in the auto.

Mine is a MY04 so has the round centre in the steering wheel - looks very similar to the pic you have. I can't quite tell in the image but mine has thumb 'bulges' at 9 and 3.

Cheers

A8 S Line

To my knowledge, to answer the original question, Audi never built a D3 S Line- at least in the U.S. If anyone knows otherwise please opine.

No badges at all - I've often contemplated putting some on though! I think that it would add a subtle hint of what the car really is. The package is fairly rare here in Aus and most people who bought / buy these cars here have no idea unless they are train spotters. The obvious stuff externally is the wheels and ride height and once inside, its the seats and steering wheel. When you start the car and the MMI screen activates, it has "Active Suspension - Sport" written on the screen under the "CAR" section. Build sheet says option "Sport" also.

Cheers
