PART LIMOUSINE, PART LAMBO-SINE

摘要

Audi's performance limo, the S8, once packed a 5.2-litre V10 that was so mighty that Lamborghini used it too - and now you can buy one for ￡7500. John Evans reports Perhaps if it had never shared its 5.2-litre V10 engine with the Lamborghini Gallardo, the Audi S8 of 2006-2010 would never had made these pages. But for two extra cylinders, it hasn't the measure of the Mercedes S63 AMG of the same era, as either a driver's car or a luxury limo. Fortunately, prices reflect the model's slightly underwhelming character, with a 58,000-mile 2010-reg S8 yours for ￡18,995, compared with a 95,000-mile 2007-reg S63 at a grand more.
