Audi S8 and S6 being readied for Launch

Audi has been rolling out new models in a steady pace, creating plenty of headlines and generating much interest in the brand. For the next phase of launches, the focus is now on performance. Undoubtedly a replacement TT and mid-engined sportscar based on the Le Mans concept (likely to be dubbed R9) will make a debut in 2006, but the move to performance starts long before that with the S8 bowing later this month and the S6 just after the first of the year.

S8 Debut Set for Tokyo in Late October



Perhaps there’s some irony in the fact that Audi plans a Tokyo International Auto Show launch for the S8. The original S8 achieved legendary status from its involvement in the movie Ronin - a film that took place in Europe, but was named for the wandering samurai of feudal Japan.

That is a fine looking automobile. Audi sure know how to blend understated agression with class.

Or is that front splitter photoshopped?

Those RS4 wheels and front splitter look great on the big 8.

This is without question Audis best looking car.
