Wish April was still on the forum to ferret out 'inside info'....
I do not have any inside info, but going through the European press, my understanding is that the S8 will be out mid- or late 2005 in Europe. You can usually add 6 months to that for the car to get to the USA, and 3 more months to reach us here in Canada.
I am waiting for the rS8 myself, and would appreciate any inside info from forum members. |

Re: S8 news......As far as looks, just put a few RED Emblems on the SWB A8,
Performance, add a couple lower stiffer position settings on the air suspension (although it may not be aired ), stiffer/thicker sway bars, better brakes, sportier interior, heres the $64K question that no one seems to know..."tuned UP" V8 to generate 400+ horses, or drop in the V10 or go bi-turbo (doubt it).
Not sure what the spy photos would reveal.

Talk about hot off the press!
Looks like we will be getting both the V8 and V10. Does anyone know the difference between the Nuvolari concept V10 and the Gallardo V10?

to do VW stuff.
