Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 0–100 km/h (3.8 s). 0–100 km/h (3.8 s).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 11,7 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Top speed, the Mercedes Maybach S 680 (1st with 250 km/h) takes the lead. If the priority is Power-to-weight, the Mercedes Maybach S 680 (1st with 259 hp/t) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 3.8 s 0-100 (0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the S8 ranks 0–100 km/h, 0.0 s off the reference Audi S8 (3.8 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 250 km/h.

Audi S8: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the S8 rank in its segment?

Among the 3 limousines 2023–2027, the S8 ranks 0–100 km/h (3.8 s, behind the Audi S8), Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Mercedes Maybach S 680), Power-to-weight (257 hp/t, behind the Mercedes Maybach S 680).

How much does the S8 cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
