“This is truly the ultimate driver's car. It's a high-powered luxury sedan that can both ride quickly and ride comfortably. This is not a luxury sedan to be chauffeured in but rather you want to drive somewhere and really enjoy it while feeling rested at the same time.”
2024 Audi S8: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Audi S8 is a carryover with no major product changes. It keeps the previous year’s twin-turbo V8, chassis, styling, safety features, and infotainment layout.
About the 2024 Audi S8
Fourth-generation A8/S8 family (D5), post-2022 refresh period.
Audi positions the S8 as its flagship full-size performance sedan: a car that mixes executive-car comfort with real V8 speed and subtle styling. The appeal is not flashy bodywork or track-day drama. Instead, the S8 sells itself as a quiet, very fast luxury sedan with advanced handling hardware, a high-end cabin, and enough rear-seat space to work as both a driver’s car and a long-distance executive cruiser.
The 2024 S8 is a full-size luxury sedan with understated styling and serious performance. Its twin-turbo V8 is paired with all-wheel steering and a rear differential that directs power to improve cornering. Inside, it has heated, ventilated, and massaging leather front seats, dual infotainment screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
