Forbes Autos have published a review of the 2008 Audi S8 luxury sedan. 'On the road, gas pedal-stompers might find the S8 occasionally irksome, for both the throttle and brakes are touchy and don’t take well to ham-handed (make that ham-footed) operation. Throttle response is instantaneous and strong from a standstill and, with all four tires powered by the quattro system, isn’t even mitigated by wheelspin. The 4,586-pound sedan guns to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds. The huge brakes — with front rotors as big as pizza pans — require deft modulation as the S8 comes to a stop, for they grip more strongly as the car slows.'
