Summary: 2002 Audi S8, 92k, 360 HP DOHC 4.2L V8, Quattro AWD, Tiptronic 5-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel controls, immaculate inside and out, contact me at mattjessup3 at gmail.com.

Description: I am selling my immaculate 2002 Audi S8. I am the second owner of this fantastic car, built to compete with the BMW M5, Mercedes E55 AMG, and Jaguar XJR. To create an S8 Audi took their all-aluminum A8 flagship, made nearly every option standard, then added a DOHC 60 valve 4.2 L V8 that makes 360 HP and smoothly revs to 7,000 RPM, a 5-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual shift control via steering wheel controls or shift gate, an automatic Sport transmission mode, a unique 3-spoke steering wheel, lower and tighter suspension, Recaro seats, subtle body styling, 18" Avus wheels, aluminum mirrors, and huge Brembo front brakes. The eventual MSRP of my car (window sticker copy included) was over $76k and it shows, the build quality and materials are absolutely top notch. In addition to the usual power equipment the S8 has features like double glazed door glass, double door seals, self-leveling HID lights, power moonroof, power steering wheel telescope and tilt with easy entry retract, 3 memory settings for the seats/doors/power wheel/mirrors that sync to the remotes, power folding mirrors, dual zone climate control, heated seats front and rear, power rear window sunshade, back door sunshades, Napa leather, power lumbar front and rear, Bose audio, back seat ski pass-thru, rear A/C and heat vents, stability and traction control, airbags in the front/side/side curtain, and so much more. It is a fantastic driving car that easily seats five adults in comfort, equally fun around town and effortless on the highway. It is also spectacular in bad weather, I have never driven a car that makes snow driving so easy.

Cosmetic Condition: Very clean inside and out. The leather has only light wear and is still soft and supple, and the carpet has no stains or wear. Audi OEM rubber floor mats are currently installed but a mint condition set of OEM carpet mats are also included, as well as a custom fit sun shade. The exterior paint is fantastic with a great shine. Very light scratches along the trunk lid lip, no dents or other body damage. Slight haze to LH headlight lens. The hood was repainted by the previous owner due to rock chips, in the right light a particular eye can see a slight shade difference. The quality is otherwise impeccable, and there are no mask lines or overspray. No other paintwork, no accidents, clean Carfax. Wheels are very nice with only a few small scratches. The rear door interior grab/switch panels have been refinished due to scratches and don't perfectly match the rest of the interior, these parts are still available from Audi if a perfect match is desired. The leather has recently received a full Leatherique treatment, and the exterior has received a machine polish with Pinnacle polish and wax with Zaino products. The car spent most of its life in Texas so it is very dry underneath on fasteners, the body and structure is aluminum so it will never rust.

Mechanical Condition: Fantastic, with lots of recent maintenance done. At the moment the car simply needs nothing. I am the second owner and bought it directly from the original owner, who did all service and repairs at Audi dealerships in the DFW area. I have service records since new, summarized in an Excel spreadsheet that is available via email. Highlights include the timing belt, ATF fluid and filter, and new Bridgestone Potenza all-season tires. All features work correctly except for the right rear power headrest does not adjust. Otherwise it drives and works excellent.

I am selling my S8 because I no longer need a four door sedan.. I have a clean and clear KS title in hand, all service records since new, a copy of the window sticker, and all books and keys. Contact me via email at mattjessup3 at gmail.com and I will provide the Excel maintenance file as well as 108 high resolution photos. Thanks for looking.

Audi rules out R8 PHEV, will build E-Tron to order

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

The question of whether Audi will morph the next-gen R8 (pictured above, in testing) into a plug-in-hybrid challenger for the BMW i8 may have been answered. CarAdvice, in Australia, is claiming that any plans for a PHV 2016 R8 have been shelved, and that Audi will go ahead with gas-powered or all-electric models, only.
Even then, the electric R8 E-tron (if it ends up being called that) would be built-to-order, and in much smaller quantities than the gas-powered model.
"In the next generation we will have an electric car on behalf of customers' needs, which is only available [upon special order]," Audi product manager Marie Suzanne Ernst told CA. "So it's not a make of series production, but if a customer wants to have it, he can order it."

Audi UK in hot water over dealer safety claims

Wed, 14 May 2014

Car salesmen don't exactly have a reputation for being in the most truthful profession, and it appears that several Audi showrooms in the UK are playing into that stereotype. A BBC investigation found that multiple dealers told buyers that the company's models scored well in Euro NCAP crash tests. No big deal, right? The problem was that the vehicles were never actually evaluated.
The report began after an R8 buyer sent in a tip that his UK dealer claimed the sports car had received top Euro NCAP scores. However, it has never been tested by the organization. The BBC called 10 dealers inquiring about the A5 (pictured above), which also wasn't assessed. Nine said the coupe had been checked out, and six claimed it had a five-star rating - the best available.
Euro NCAP is funded by governments and motoring bodies, like the ADAC in Germany and the FIA. According to its website, the organization selects some of the most popular new models each year to crash test, and, the BBC claims, automakers can also pay to evaluate their cars. The last Audi tested was the A3 in 2012. The A6, Q3, A1, A4 and Q5 have also been tested since 2009, and they all received five-star ratings. However, the A5, A7, A8 and R8 have not been tested.

Audi R8 V10 Plus vs. Renault Clio Cup racecar will make you go hmmm...

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Match up a hot hatch with a supercar of the same vintage, and we'll tell you who will win every time. It's easy, really, as the supercar invariably features a more advanced suspension, stickier tires and most importantly, more power. What if the hot hatch is race prepped, though?
In that particular case, all bets are off. A circuit-tuned suspension, a stripped-down cabin, an ultra-quick sequential transmission and the greatest equalizer of them all, slick tires, are all that's needed to turn the typical hot hatch into a proper dragon slayer.
Perhaps seeking to prove this, Evo has put together an interesting head-to-head between the Audi R8 V10 and a race-prepared Renault Clio Cup. Host Dickie Meaden takes us through each car, highlighting the bits and bobs on both sides which should make this a tight competition. And boy, is this one tight.
