Now that Audi->ke14 has officially unveiled the A8 luxury sedan, the next logical step is the S8. And today we bring a new rendering of that very car. A rendering that just may be the closest to the final product.

The 2012 Audi S8 will feature a new horizontal strut style grille and lower needle intake accents, just like the ones from the Audi TTS->ke3007. It will also include silver mirror caps, an S-car staple, and, of course, S-style wheels.

Under the hood there will be a supercharged V8 engine bringing more low-end torque and better fuel economy than the V10 fitted in the current model. This V8 engine will produce a total output of 450 HP and will be mated to a 7-speed double-clutch S Tronic.
