Is the s500 5.6 or 5.4? Some articles say the former, some the latter. Which is it really?

Are those pictures official? They don't seem very good quality if they are.

When RS4 photo's were released, unoffical ones, they were of very poor quality, black and white to be exact and quite small. I think if these are in fact offical pics, they should be released tom. I'm suprised there's no link to the source of the photos. I really hope in addition to a stellar engine, that Recaro had a hand in the design of the seats, but from what I see so far(granted these are offical) they look like regular Audi seats. All in all, I'm pretty sure that I'll be very pleased w/ this car.

Okay guys.......just got a full report from fourtitude.....
Distinct sports appeal and supreme comfort – these are the two defining characteristics of the Audi A8. At the time of its market launch three years ago, this large saloon shot straight to the top of the luxury segment thanks to its dynamic qualities. The brand with the four-ring emblem is now unveiling a sporty top model of the very highest calibre in the luxury segment: the new Audi S8.

very tasteful car thats luxurious yet sporty. I like it, I think its a bold design from Audi (for Audi) and will do well. But probably not. People would probably rather have an M5. Never the less this is a beautiful car. Probably the best looking Audi I have seen. Too bad its not just a little quicker... But very nice indeed.
That engine is very similar to the M5's V10. Its a little over 5 litres, is high reving and naturally aspirated, and the cylinder banks are opposed 90 degrees with one another...

That looks excellent, although I might have to say that the grill is maybe a bit too bold? The lines are too thick on the grill, but maybe I'm just being overly critical... Best A8 ever made
That grill is hideous. Looks like an egg crate. The performance numbers dont look that impressive either. Its only fractionally quicker to a hundred than an s500. Expect the w221 AMG's to blow this away in acceleration.
In that picture, the lines of the A8 also look somwhat dated already.
Wonder how well they've sorted the dynamics.
