Performance Specs
The 2022 Audi S8 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 producing specs of 563 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. That allows it to sprint from 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. In addition, sound flaps in the exhaust system sharpen the sound, when desired. The high performance model in the A8 family also comes many extensive equipment included in its price. For example, its price includes predictive active suspension, sport differential, and dynamic all-wheel steering. A 48-volt mild hybrid electrical system is included as well.
Exterior/ Interior
Distinctive design elements in the interior and the exterior underline the sporty character of the 2022 Audi S8. In the large markets of China, the US, Canada, and South Korea, the Audi S8 is being offered exclusively with a long wheelbase. The increased vehicle length and height mean significantly more comfort for occupants due to the additional head- and legroom.
Digital Matrix LED Headlights
The 2022 Audi S8 features Digital Matrix LED headlights that use DMD technology. Each headlight has approximately 1.3 million micromirrors that break down the light into tiny pixels. This allows it to be controlled with maximum precision. The digital Matrix LED headlights can also generate dynamic coming home/leaving home functions upon unlocking and getting out of the car. They shine like projections on the ground or a wall.
Furthermore, the enhanced S8 comes with digital OLED rear lights included in its price. When ordering the car, there are two rear light signatures to choose from. For instance, when the “dynamic” Audi drive select mode is chosen, the lights change to a wider signature that is only available in that mode.
Navigation and Audi Connect
MMI Navigation plus is standard in the enhanced 2022 Audi S8. The MMI touch response operating system in the Audi A8 relies on two displays with 10.1“ and 8.6“ specs and natural voice operation. Passengers just have to say “Hey Audi!” to activate the system. The completely digital Audi virtual cockpit, with the optional head-up display, also completes the display and operating system. Lastly, two new full HD displays with 10.1 inch specs are available for rear passengers for an added price.
Driver Assistance Systems
The driver assistance packages are available for the 2022 Audi S8. This includes the “Park”, “City”, and “Tour” packages. The highlight of the “Park” package is the remote park assist plus, which can automatically maneuver the large sedan into and out of a parallel or bay parking space. The “City” assist package includes intersection assist, cross-traffic assist, side assist, exit warning, and the Audi pre sense 360° safety system, which induces a side crash enhancement in combination with the active suspension.
Lastly, the “Tour” assist package, which is standard in Germany, is particularly comprehensive. Its central system is adaptive cruise assist, which adjusts longitudinal and lateral guidance throughout the vehicle’s speed range. Behind the assistance systems in the Audi S8 is the central driver assistance controller, which continuously calculates a model of the environment.
