Normally I wouldn't place a D2 S8 with 161k miles as a Find of the Day but this one is a little different...it has a 6speed manual transmission swap. Does that elevate this S8 just a bit? Here's the ad:
This 2003 Audi S8 is finished in Ming Blue Pearl over white leather and is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 paired with a six-speed manual transmission that was installed by a previous owner. Features include ...

The Cannonball Run is not just legend or a funny movie from the 80s, it's still running to the day. We have a story on the COVID Cannonball Run coming up in our Q4_2020 issue of quattro Magazine. That one involves an Audi S6. This Audi S8 is also a Cannonballer...it held the 2nd fastest record time of 30:43 in 2018. Here's the ad:

The fourth generation of the racy luxury limousine came onto the market in early 2020, with a powerful V8 b...

While others may be familiar with Rain Prisk, I just stumbled across him (?) her (?) the other day with the above R8 render.

Autobild reports that the next-generation Audi S8 will be introduced later this year, and we've pieced together intel from various reports for an idea of what we'll get. Autocar says the coming D5 sedan will get a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 sourced from the Porsche Panamera Turbo, ditching the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that Audi developed with Bentley and put in the current D4 S8. According to the report, the V8 will make 535...
