As technologically advanced as the all-new Audi A8
is, an ultra-quick S-version has yet to come out, which makes the older S8 Plus
model the one to have if all you crave is performance.
Russian tuner TopCar apparently has something
planned for the old S8, and it's called the RS 900 kit. While they've yet to
confirm any sort of specs, we'll just go ahead and assume/hope the '900' stands
for horsepower.
A front spoiler lip, custom wheels and a new rear
diffuser with rectangular tailpipe housings (instead of just round tips), are
also visible, adding to the luxury saloon's already aggressive exterior. Even
without any extra mods, the S8 Plus is one heck of a speedster, putting down
605 PS and 700 Nm of torque through all four wheels. In a straight
line, it will do 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.
Adding another 300 or so horses should make it a lot
quicker, both off the line as well as mid-range. Let's hope the tuner shines
some more light on their latest project sooner rather than later, as we'd love
to see this thing in action.
