| Macleod | Wood | Guest Star: Johnson |
| It worked like a charm! Guest test driver Johnson was absolutely gobsmacked when we cruised up in the giant S8. The power is instant and relentless. Long straights are devoured in the blink of an eye. The decadent luxury of the interior bizarrely seems out of place yet absolutely spot on at the same time. The S8 served up ear-to-ear grins all round, and very nearly knocked a Petrolhead favourite, the awesome S4, off its perch... | If you have ever seen the film 'Ronin' then you will know what can be expected from the S8. When you sit inside this alcantara, gadget paradise you realise that there is no camera trickery super-glueing you to the road as you thunder around a tight corner. This bruiser is hugely powerful, luxurious and immense fun to drive. | A car that tickles you in places you never knew were ticklish. It envelops you in a double-glazed world of sheer opulence and fine craftsmanship. Lesser men may well be intimidated by the arc of instant power from low to high revs but the smirk of satisfaction will never leave your face ...... until an RS4 powers past you. V8 4.2ltrs 360bhp, the S8 was surprise drive never to be forgotten, courtesy of Petrolheads |
