Audi and Lamborghini create new S8 Quattro

Dubbed a fusion of German luxury saloon and Italian super car, the new Audi S8 quattro is the first car from the company to feature a 10-cylinder FSI petrol engine developed using the Lamborghini Gallardo's unit as its foundation.

Smaller, lighter and with fewer friction-generating components than a comparable 12-cylinder unit, the new 5.2-litre V10 petrol engine has a more performance-biased pedigree that perfectly suits the ultimate A8.

Maximum power of 450PS is delivered at 7,000rpm, and peak torque of 540Nm at 3,500rpm, with up to 90 per cent of this total available from just 2,300rpm, enabling a 0-62mph time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed limited electronically to 155mph.

Every thing is fine with S8 but i think the HPs r little less in numbers,as we can see

507 ps of M5 and 469 ps on previous S 55 AMG,CLS 55 AMG and E 55 AMG (New S will get even more) r more than the S8' 450PS.

Although it has got a V10 5.2 FSI Engine,Which is bigger than all it's competitor's engine.

Hope to see more HP's after 2006.

Before S8's info arrived i thought it would get HPs around 520-550.As u can see RS4 with 420PS(Blasting).

Now i think upcoming RS6 will get same V10 5.2 FSI Engine with 450PS.
