Cosmetically the S8 differs from the A8 only in very subtle ways.
The S8 comes with the 18" version of the 6-spoke Avus wheels (that are
a hallmark of many S models) and 245/45-18 tires, the side mirror
housings are polished aluminum, the body sits just a tad lower on its
sport suspension, the Brembo brake calipers are evident if you look
through the wheel openings, and of course the S8 badges on the front
grill and rear decklid.  Inside, the S8 has sport front seats, 3-spoke
sport steering wheel, and if manual transmission (not available in the US),
in 6 speeds.  The engine is a more highly tuned version of the 4.2 V8.
The previous 4-valve version produces 340hp, the current 5-valve has 360hp.

In Ronin, they actually mentioned that it was an Audi S8 in the dialog.
