    Audi S8 Revealed Packing A 563 HP (420 kW) Twin-Turbo V8

    The Audi A8 range was updated around two years ago but now, the range-topping S8 variant has arrived and it sounds promising.

    Under the long hood sits a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 pushing out 563 hp (420 kW) and 800 Nm of torque. This engine isn’t just powerful but it promises to be reasonably efficient as it incorporates Mild Hybrid technology with a 48-volt system which includes a stop-start function.

    The V8 power is sent to the tarmac via the Quattro all-wheel-drive system with a sport differential. The S8 receives all-wheel steering as standard and should you wish you can spec a set of carbon ceramic brakes.

    It is loaded with tech of course which means not only is it fast but very comfortable and safe.

    Styling wise you will notice a slightly sportier nose, different wheels, unique badging, and quad tailpipes.

    Inside the luxury saloon, you will find matte aluminium trim alongside diamond-stitched seats with embroidered S badging.

    There is also an upper inlay in the cabin made of Carbon Vector and as with some other Audi models, a touchscreen for the infotainment system, a touchscreen for the climate control functions, and the Audi Virtual Cockpit digital gauge cluster are all featured.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
