Super A8/S8 conversion
I prematurely had a stab at describing the spec of the A8/S8
conversion I saw in a magazine recently, checked and found that I'd
been inaccurate in almost every respect :-( So here for your delight
and delectation are the full and accurate details...
The ad is featured in the May/June issue of Audi Driver magazine - 1st
page. The car is called the Nothelle Audi S8 Plus. Check out these
specs: Biturbo + intercooler, new cylinder head & new ECU.
450bhp@5600rpm (S8 = 340@6600), 710Nm@3000rpm (S8 = 410@3500), 6-speed
manual box (S8 = Tiptronic), front brake disks 323mm diameter, top
speed 186mph (S8 = 155), 0-62mph 4.7sec (S8 = 6.8).
The modified spec remains the same for both A8 and S8 conversions.
Conversion is done in UK.
Still not happy with the A6 dealer issue, still outstanding, still no
nearer to fix. Although I think the listers who responded to me
(thanks) are right, getting the dealer to understand English is beyond
my capabilities.
