The flagship of its sedan fleet, the new 2012 Audi S8 puts an even-more-potent punctuation mark on the statement: "It's good to be rich!" Spun from the latest incarnation of the Audi A8 that rolled onto the scene for model-year 2009 and featuring the aluminum-intensive Audi Space Frame to minimize its overall weight, this all-wheel-drive "wonder car" impressively raises the stakes in the sport-luxury sedan game courtesy of a new engine that delivers significantly better performance and fuel economy plus even more advanced technology to complement its expansive roster of comfort/convenience touches.

The single most-significant enhancement to the new-generation Audi S8 is found under the hood, where the 5.2-liter naturally-aspirated V10 used in the previous generation S8 has been supplanted by a twin-turbocharged/intercooled version of Audi's new 4.0-liter TFSI V8.
