C6 RS6 or D4 S8

[john banks]

How do the above compare to those who have driven both? I am watching S8 prices as I like my D4 A8 but the engine could do with about double the power ('63 250 PS Quattro exec). Newer RS6/7 still rather pricey for me. I prefer saloon or coupe to estate, but other factors like the way it drives matter more.

Will the 19" Audi winter wheels/tyres I have for the A8 clear the brakes on the S8?

I just typed D4 S8 into google and the first image is of the interior. Based on that alone, I'd go for the S8!

I had a C6 S6 and loved it. The C6 RS6 is obviously a step above that but even so, the S8 would be a newer model.

Aways sell me the wheels John, Ive had a C6 RS6, But as you know Ive a 4.2 D4 now, myself Id go for the newer S8 As I do like the size of the 8 with the power of the newer S8 it will be good, cheers & good luck with your hunt (lol) Alan.

Found an S8, hope to get it next weekend

I am wondering whether it will make me want to sell the GTR as it will do everything I want? The GTR is really holding onto its value though, tempting to keep for a while to be sure the S8 is enough.
