smiff 0 Posted April 30, 2005 Hello All I'm concidering buying a new money eater. Does anyone know the performace figures for the A8 range? Is the A8 4.2 40V the same car as the 4.2 V8? This looks nice, a big car for Ronin about in http://www.pistonheads.com/ads/detail.asp?i=41204&s=35 What is the general consensus on Audi's? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted April 30, 2005 To quote the movie Shallow Hal...."that's a huge bitch". 340bhp though....could do a lot worse. Shares in BP, Shell or Esso may be a wise investment. For the 340bhp S8 Parkers quote 0-60 in 6.6 and a limited top speed of 155mph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiff 0 Posted April 30, 2005 6.6 seconds..not bad for a big old boy! My Corrado only does about 18miles to the gallon...I do seem to rag it everywhere though. The Audi looks more of a cruiser, drive at a sedate pace, but when you need it there's loads of power! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 30, 2005 AFAIK Audi have never built a 5 valve per cylinder V8, only the 1.8 4 cyl and 3.0 V6 have had 5 valve heads - stunning car though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
