Black S8 Quattro

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've come down with a sore-throat and flu recently and was bed ridden. Always happens during the Chinese New Year. Must be the weather.

Anyway, last night whilst walking up to my room, I spotted this in the garage...

Oooh, another S8 Quattro!


So, come Sunday afternoon, I gave Bryan a call and asked him if he'd like to take some shots as well as go for a short ride with me. The weather looked dreary and I had expected it pour, thus canceling our outing but thankfully, the skies held up.

I popped over to Bryan's place and we went back to mine to take some quick shots...

5.2L V10 engine producing 444 bhp at 7,000 rpm with 398 ft�lbf of torque at 3,500 rpm. Displacement is slightly bigger then that of the Lamborghini Gallardo's V10.

Bryan took a short clip of her accelerating. I need to get a tripod for the video shots. Any recommendations? =P The car feels very planted, power is linear but it feels somewhat heavy. It's much more comfortable compared to the IS-F though. It's very quiet and you can barely hear the V10 rumble.

Check out the startup...

Suction doors...

After that, we popped by a nearby mamak to have a quick drink before calling it a day and headed home.

I had a grey S8 Quattro previously which was sold. Check out my previous post, 'Sneak Peek Audi S8 Quattro'

Sneak Peek Audi S8 Quattro

Brought Bryan to visit Zinc today but it was raining and we went a little late. We stopped by H5 to check out the set of MindStyle Disney Stitch Experiment 626 Artist Series 1 that I just acquired. Cool stuff!

Only 500 units of these are made and they are already sold out!


Later we hopped by to see Zinc but everyone left already so no pictures today. We did however take some pictures of some cars.
It was raining so I didn't take her out to a better place to take pictures. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to bring her to a better location soon. I may be wrong but this might be the only one in KL. Here are some teaser shots...

The Audi S8 Quattro...

LED's under the door handle.

Massive 5.2L V10 engine. This has a longer stroke and wider bore compared to the Lamborghini Gallardo's 5.0L engine thus producing better torque at the lower revs.

Yummy....

V10 baby...

Optional Audi ceramic Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide composite, or C/SiC brakes. Massive. I'm surprised these are only 6 pot's and not 8 for such a heavy vehicle. Rotors are huge 380mm stuff. I want...

Interior.

Bryan took more shots and a couple of videos of her starting up too. Check out 'Audi S8 - Sneak Peek' on AutoJunctions.com.
