I am offering my Audi S8 D2 facelift for sale, a very well-preserved example of this rare and highly regarded model. The car has recently passed its technical inspection (ITV/TÜV equivalent) with no faults, as it has consistently done throughout its life—fully verifiable through Carfax. All maintenance has been carried out on time and is documented with invoices. There are no electronic issues, no pending repairs, and both the interior and exterior are in excellent overall condition, with only the normal signs of age. The aluminium body is in very good shape, with no rust and no structural damage.
The car is powered by the legendary naturally aspirated 4.2 V8 40V AQH engine, known for its durability and smooth performance. It produces 360 hp and 430 Nm, runs perfectly, and delivers the characteristic sound that defines the S8 D2. Without turbochargers or complex systems, it offers immediate response and long-term reliability. Real top speed is 280 km/h, electronically limited to 250 km/h, with 0–100 km/h in 5.4 seconds.
It features permanent Quattro all-wheel drive with a Torsen differential, Servotronic steering, and a reinforced Tiptronic automatic transmission with sequential mode (via steering-wheel buttons or gear lever). The suspension is firm and free of noises, and the driving dynamics remain impressive even by modern standards. Stability, comfort, and road feel are excellent.
The equipment level is very high, including real leather electric seats with memory and heating, genuine wood trim, electric sunroof, factory-integrated navigation system, parking sensors, CD changer, full aluminium body (lighter and corrosion-free), outstanding acoustic insulation with double-glazed windows, large high-performance brakes, and recently reupholstered Alcantara headliner and door panels. Recent maintenance includes a new radiator (June 2024), timing belt service (November 2022, 30,000 km ago), new central locking unit, new battery, and fresh oil service.
This S8 D2 offers a combination of craftsmanship, mechanical simplicity, and build quality that is increasingly difficult to find in modern luxury sedans. I am selling it due to relocation and the lack of a suitable garage space in my new city.
If you are looking for an Audi S8 D2 for long-distance driving, collecting, or simply enjoying, this example is well worth considering thanks to its condition, documentation, and trouble-free operation. Further photos, details, and the full Carfax report are available upon request.
