The V10-powered Audi S8, blended understated luxury with supercar performance. Produced between 2006 and 2010, this generation of the S8 is equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.2 litre V10 engine derived from the Lamborghini Gallardo, delivering 450bhp through Audi's legendary quattro all-wheel-drive system and a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Wrapped in a refined aluminium body, the S8 offers a perfect balance of performance and executive comfort, with adaptive air suspension, premium leather interior, and advanced driver features for its time. This model represents a unique era where Audi discreetly placed a supercar engine in a luxury saloon body, offering enthusiasts a truly special driving experience. Whether for collectors or performance lovers, the V10 S8 remains a sought-after modern classic.

This example was purchased new by British actor Jude Law and has covered a modest 63,000 miles in its 16 years. The car has formed part of our vendors private collection of Audi's and other driver focussed cars in recent years and presents in excellent condition throughout. The service history shows regular maintenance and servicing, with the car coming to auction with a fresh service and ready for its next custodian.

These S8's are seriously understated, those that know will give an appreciative nod, but to everyone else, this could be any regular Audi A8, which is undoubtedly the major appeal. These cars are capable of upsetting many supercars and come from a time when the engineers were let loose and we will certainly look back on this era of cars as being the peak time of the modern era. Representing incredible value for money, this S8 is one for the discerning enthusiast who likes to fly under the radar. Consigned by Fraser Smith
