Despite Audi's claimed 20 hp advantage in the 40V, I found the 32V more willing to rev, the throttle was a lot more responsive too. It's been the same with all 40V S8's I test drove before settling on mine. The 32V also has solid tappets for the exhaust valves, which would probably account for the gruffer V8 rumble. Valvetrain is lighter.

The 4.2 TDI is also a superior high-tech engine. Its displacement of 4,134 cc yields 258 kW (350 hp) and a hefty torque of 800 Nm (590.05 lb-ft), already available at speeds between 1,750 and 2,750 rpm. The V8 dispenses its power almost casually, moving the A8 like a sports car.
The engine is a 4.5-litre version of the F136, with power levels capable of reaching 450kW. The power unit weighs 160kg, which is 40kg more than the Zytek engine it replaced, but also offered 550Nm of torque and propelled the A1GP car to a top speed of 320km/h. Placed in a circa 700kg single-seater, they’re quick.
