The new generation S8 just broke cover, bringing with it a new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces an amazing 520 HP. Shying away from the old 450 HP 5.2-liter V10 engine was a stellar decision by Audi, but what happens to the poor chaps that already have an S8 with the old engine? Enter Anderson Germany.
The German tuner is offering the perfect solution for an increase in power without the customer having to wait and purchase the 2012 model. Their new S8 Superior Grey Edition package is named after its slick matte gray exterior paint finish, but has been released solely for the power boost. With the help of the typical ECU and new, special exhaust system, the vehicle’s V10 can push out an extra 58 HP, bringing the total to 508 HP. Top speed has also been increased to 186 mph.
Exterior and interior additions were also provided, but with a bit more than a minimalistic approach. The exterior received an extreme body kit and a new set of 22" wheels, while the interior benefits from Alcantara and different carbon fiber elements to replace the vehicle’s typical wood accents.
