Audi S8, MB S500, BMW 750i and A8 4.2

[Zafiro]

We just found out the european price for S8 and it dont seem to be much more expensive than the new S500. I know S8 is a AMG competititor but the price is so close. So I think its worth to be a part here.

Audi S8
V10
450hp
price 97.600 Euro

Mercedes S 500
V8
388hp
price 95.236 EURO

BMW 750i
V8
367hp
price 77.300 EURO

Audi A8 4.2
V8
335 hp
price 75.700 EURO

Personally I think Audi S8 look the best. V10 and 450hp another reason why I like it. Sure S8 is most expensive but when I look at the price for the new S500, it doesnt look that bad anymore. I'm willing to pay that extra cost to get the sportiest one.

Audi S8 for me.

S8 for you but you didn't vote

Anyway, BMW 750i for me. 367HP are too many for me and 77000eur is a good price. I actually voted for the 7er because of her design. I'm in love with that car. It's impressive and awesome. For me the A8 is to conservative and i'm not settled yet about the S-Class. I remember that S-Class's philosophy is to be a great car that you would see with the second look.

So 750i for me

 

[Imhotep Evil]

S8 hands down.

One picture can say more then a thousand words...

The S8. No contest. It's the complete package.

I'm greatly impressed by the technological features in the new S but the styling seems to be inspired by Toyota.

AMEN!

S8 offer a lot for that kind of money. Suprising that the new S 500 has almost the same price

 

[Alx]

Im the only one who picked the A8 huh... hehehe...

Cheapest of the group and with 5K invested into it, it will blow away all of the above.... And still some money to spare for rims and toys! And even the look is similar to the S8...

Well thats Just_Me.

That's because the S500 pricing you listed is for the LWB model.The S8 only comes in SWB as far as I know, funny the S500 seems to be the only LWB sedan in this poll. As for performance, well neither the S8 or S500 have been tested yet so we will just have to wait and see. Until then, S500 in burgundy red with 18 inch wheels please.

Ops you're correct. The price is 89.668 EURO.
Anyway, S8 seem to offer much for the price. If it was a M7 or S63 AMG, they would be much more expensive than S8. S8 probably has more standard equipment than S500, 750i. So with extra options on your S500 or 750i than you are up in the same pricerange as S8. I could be wrong though but I doubt it.

 

[Kleemann_SL]

I just saw one today!!! An S500 in black
Its a killer man, a killer!!!

 

[Zafiro]

LoL, someting has really happen. At the old place , MB wont every poll by a large marginal. Now at the new place, its obvious that there are more BMW/Audi fans than over at the old place.
