"Which means you should be able to humiliate and embarrass just about anything on the road, especially for those kids that don't know what they're racing" Is the perfect way to describe this. My 2009 A6 is the same beat, quiet and subtle enough even lowered with some performance mods- but it blows the doors off Type R's, M3's, and STIs.
changing lanes in an intersection has got to be the most frequently broken law ever. Why can't people remember which lane they started in? Why do people think it's ok to change lanes while in an intersection? It's madness.
Owned a D3 S8 & currently own a D3 A8L & have enjoyed every moment behind the wheel of each. Perfect for a dad of 3 who likes a little bit of luxury & the symphony of a V10 or V8
@@FitmentIndustries The S8 I'd done a custom cat back Borla exhaust. Currently the A8L is stock. Thinking just cosmetic upgrades, like window tint & some nice forged 21" wheels. It's what I believe is a rare color combo. Grey blue color (not looked into the actual color code yet) & a brown & black interior. Beautiful car
Absolutely love this car! 9/10 across the board. Mods are tasteful, that ox blood leather looks amazing. Great car, Edgar! 🔥 I have and adore my 2008 S5, so I’m biased 😁 *One of the twelve* should be a thing!
Appreciate it homie! The oxblood is what got me. What do you all have done to the S5? Add it to the gallery if its done up! -Edgar www.fitmentindustries.com/add-wheel-offset
@@FitmentIndustries Previous owner did wheels/tires and lowering springs. I’m waiting to pull the trigger on a new wheel/tire combo I have sitting in my cart on your website 👍🏽. I should post pics of before and after as the specs will be different 🤔
I love the D2 S8’s they are gorgeous! I don’t own a D2 but I do own a C5 S6 Avant with the 4.2 and a B6 A4 1.8t. I do love the 2000’s Audi’s. I say they are 100% underrated.
Audi guy here. And a Wisconsin based one at that. Love the D2.5 S8. Great quality from this era. Exterior: 8.5 Interior: 7 Looks and feels good. No rattles but the lack of tech is obvious by modern standards. Performance: 6 It's a GT Luxo barge cruiser. Not a performance car by todays standards but still peppy enough. Mods: Eh. It's not like a B5S4 but sure, you can mod it up a bit if you want. Typically, people don't do as much of that with the NA V8 but let's be honest, most of us can't leave something completely stock. Please put a stock wheel back in and take off the windscreen decal. That looks silly. Especially in an Audi S8. Audi is, and traditionally has always been , understated class. One last minor CC, the RS5 Rotors look out of place on that era. Just my opinion.
Love my 2014 Audi S8 in my opinion s8’s can be a rare car i have never seen another S8 like mine or in fact another newer S8 they are very clean and comfortable cars, my audi is black with an black interior, diamond stitched seats and a fully loaded package. everyone around here doesnt expect a sedan to be so fast so when they feel it it suprises them! all around a very enjoyable car i love the thing!
It’s an old man car. I say that lovingly as an old man myself. Us old guys don’t live on the radar, we just carry pockets full of keys to jingle while we chat about the weather.
Guys, please consider switching to a suction mount for the camera operator angle. If something were to happen and the air bag deployed with him like that, it would go very badly, especially with a camera that close to the face. Love you all ❤️
Love my 03 S8! In Europe, you could have them with a 6 speed manual, and many people have converted them here in the U.S. It ain’t cheap, but the converted cars sell for a lot more when it’s time for your next project. Get one now before people finally wake up to just how special these rare all-aluminum luxobarges are!
Love the S8 model as a whole. Colors are great on this one. Personally I would take my 2013 any day though. Stock rated 520HP and pushing 667 with just a stage 1 APR tune. All kinds of upgrades from the older ones. I'm a techy though so newer cars will always appeal to me.
They’re cool, but lack character, and also weigh ~1000lbs++ more than a D2. The original S8 is also feasible to maintain yourself. The amount of fuckery to work on a D3 or D4 is unbelievable. Plus, 3 pedals and a manual gearbox are available. Not sure a D3 or D4 could ever be manual swapped.
The D2 Audi S8 is an amazing vehicle. I know because I own a 2001 audi S8. I cant find a car that drives this well. Yes it's fast, yes it is excellent in the turns, yes it's comfortable . I love this car. No one knows these cars, but drive one and you'll have a new favorite.
Got an S6 from 2000. Manuall 6 speeds from factory. Everything working with cruise controll everything. I am 19 soon 20 and It's as close to my dream car I can get for now❤
Damn Alex went full sent with the roast 🤣 Anyways: Exterior - 10/10 beautiful exterior no extreme aero and stuff love the clean looks and love the number plate 😂 Interior - 6/10 no cupholder? Bruh but still the interior looks clean and cool Performance - 8/10 that V8 tho even at low speeds sounds good Modifications - 8/10 that steering wheel stands out the most 😂 other than that, the air suspension made the car looks cool slammed on the ground
Thank you! I appreciate this rating haha, did it to my taste. Simple but not overdone. Theres a couple more things left to do which im excited for! -Edgar
I’m just sold on swapping the 4.2 v8 in my B5 A4 just something reliable fun and a cool a to b car. had an b5 s4 got rid of it. Have a 3.2 c6 A6 which is bagged and have a v10 C6 s6 which is literally a headache but very fun to drive.
I had the only factory armored D2 S8 in Australia in Casablanca White. Best car I've ever owned. Had a decatted Milltek exhaust, and Bilstein coilovers with Eibach springs. Never had a single issue in 70k. Lost it in floods 😭
Used to have a D2 S8, mine was a little rough but still caught a lot of attention. Car was great till something broke, parts for this car are expensive and hard to find. Certain parts like the window regulators I was only able to find used. A lot of engine work required the entire front end to come off as well. Not a diy friendly car.
I inherited one in metallic black with a tu tone (brown & a tan-orange; looks awesome) interior. 18" forged aftermarket wheels, Bilstein struts, bigger swaybars. My younger kid drives it to high school sometimes.
hello Edgar, i just wanna say i fucking love your S8, its soooo amazing, the only thing i'm not a fan of is the steering wheel, but tastes are different from person to person, stay safe and you better take care of that S8!
I have an 01 S8 4.2L I'm dropping the auto and putting a proper transmission manual in it. It was awesome in the mountains of Colorado. I absolutely love it.
Amazing car! The D2 has a natural presence, what an aura! Performance wise the S8 is no slouch at all, and yet some random dares to compare it with much lighter cars, c'mon man.
Well, I would rate it very high. I own a 2007 A8 D3 and personally like the features of the slightly newer Audis. The first with the big grill. The Bang and Olafson audio, soft close doors, the pop-up dash, etc. all just cool stuff. Plus you still have that amazing grunt from the V8, the amazing handling for a car of it's size and the flawless quattro drive. And, mine is Black.
It's about a 8/10. It's definitely a head turner, especially at car meets. That steering wheel has to go and I'd add a deeper sounding exhaust and a CAI. Gloss black or gunmetal would look phenomenal on those wheels. Rather slow for 360hp V8. My 06 IS350 is a 306hp V6 with a 5.1 0-60.
I got one 2001 117500 miles and working to keep it clean..and sometimes it feels like more a can afford lol but it’s rare car and a love it 😍 and they are in demand for people that love Audi…$$$$
These engines are simple and reliable. Last good V8s from Audi. Run forever, as long as you take care of them with something outlandish like oil changes, proper warm driving, regular coolant changes, proper fuel and filters. Had many, none ever failed, up to 500.000km and always in good juice. Everyone reached their original 0-100 times even at 340.000km. Great cars
This was the best design Audi S8 ever. It had a minimalist modern design that still looks good! Wish I could find one with low mileage with no modifications, all stock ❤
Audi 4.2 V8 before the FSI crap models are very reliable. All easy to work on. All Timing belt Audis of back then C4, Allroad, B5 1.8T, 2.8, 2.7T and D2, and even the D3 engine wise, all very good.
@@FitmentIndustries I also happen to own all of the ones I stated (besides Allroad and C4) as well, so I'm only here to push the reliability forward lol.
One more thing about this, you need to mention, it has the Aluminium chasis, so no rust! I own A8 D2 with 4.2 220KW made in 95 and i absolutelly love the car. If you imagine, it is 27 years old, some of new cars cant offer comfort as this one can. It is unbelivable what they could develop in these times.
I have one too. 2001, double rare Fern Green, solar sunroof electric rear blind, electric seats in the back as well. Everything works except for the tv but that isn’t the cars fault. Every option on it except for the heated steering wheel which wasn’t available in the U.K. Mine is a 10/10. Edgars example has been fiddled with unfortunately. Get everything working and restore it back to original condition starting with the steering wheel. Then it’s value will sky rocket.
Same wheels as my 2015 S8. Adore the car, the best full size performance sedan ever made. Mine with a flash tune an 100 octane will show many unsuspecting people the taillights.
I have a d3 07 s8 v10 and live less than a mile from fitment. Probably wouldn't be hard to have him review my car. Although I would like to do a few more mods before that.
So I need some help i think.. I just need more confirmation from car people especially for the VW line. I own a top model of the VW Beetle 2012 GTI Chassis and GTI Engine + DSG, it has 18" rims with 235/45 R 18 98 Y M+S All Season Tires I got some fitting 19" Rotiform wheels 8.5X19 5X112 5X120 ET45 NB72.5 (yes it has a multiple lug setup). I found some TOYO Tires (TOYO proxes sport xl) And when i search for which tire dimensions I need are, (235/40ZR19 96Y TOYO proxes sport xl). Every tire dealer online recommends these tires is this correct? can I order them without any issues?.
I would personally take a look at our gallery and look at similar specs! That should be the easiest to determine and not make a mistake, you can also email our team at wheels@fitmentindustries.com, they’ll be happy to help! Here’s a link to the gallery! -Edgar www.fitmentindustries.com/add-wheel-offset
I bought a 2015 A8L 4T and had the S7 engine mods installed with the APR stage 3 chip tune for 720-wheel HP on the APR dyno, Quatro with 8 speed trans, a modern sleeper. Love the massaging seats. Audi makes a great car if you buy their top 3 models and stay away from the entry level cars. They should bring back the 5-cylinder straight engines again for their 5 series models with turbos
@@SuperWewt No I bought the 8 series and then had APR make it a beast with 740 HP going to all 4 wheels. Quattro. What you do is buy a used 2 year factory leased turn in that has less than 25K miles on it so you SAVE that 35% value drop rolling a new car off the lot! So I got a 120G Audi out the door for 61G and spent my saved cash on APR modifications and tuning.
I would rate it a 9/10 definitely! Especially Edgar's build looks so nice with those Rotor rims. I love 90's and 00's Audi's... I own a '98 A4 1.8T sedan (Amazing engine for a first car) and I just love the looks of it. The A8 and S8 look very similar up front but that rear end of the D2 is just that little bit nicer, I wish I could afford owning one haha. In my opinion the Audi B4, B5 and the D2 chassis are the best Audi's ever made, both in therms of engines (Not really reliability but more likely the mechanics) and looks, I love them!
People in US didnt know nothing bout this cars. In Europe in some countries its a moto dream. This v8 in this s8 is like a tank on the road. Super fast tank
@@FitmentIndustries mine is currently parked waiting for the money to make sure that doesn’t happen haha tell Edgar’s buddy I’m sorry because I truly do love this cars platform haha
I'd say it's a 9/10 overall. I wish the wheels were painted bronze or satin black. The steering wheel looks okay but I'd go for a better looking wheel.
I give it a 9/10 only because the steering wheel wasn't in my own taste and it eliminated the fun to use Tiptronic controls. That being said its in way better condition appearance wise than my own S8 but, I don't mean to brag, mines a manual! I've got a 2001 S8, it's a 6-speed manual swap and yes it is in the rust belt of the United States. A manual transmission really brings this car to life and makes it very fun to drive. 360HP V8, AWD, manual transmission AND more than enough family and friends seating without complaints of leg room....what more could you possibly want in a car?!
Well my dad loves Audis so I might be a little bias but 8 8 5 3 I know it can be a great car because it was an amazing back in the day. Keyword, back in the day. No one wants to work on the cars and the ones who do either will rob you for driving an Audi or hate themselves...my dad went through both stages and has a mk4 Jetta now. It's still a good car but don't expect it to lasting forever cuz the headaches it gives will kill you first. Also Alex, I think it would be funny if you reviewed the Avalon there, also because I have the first generation and they're almost identical and think they're pretty nice for a economy Lexus but give it a shot.
Hello. The lock will break with so much weight from the keys. In each puddle the lock will open and at some point it will not read the key. Only enter the car key.
10/10 the D2 s8 is leak cool, that steering wheel needs to go though. Sorry you got one that didn’t have a clean interior, most don’t have that damage you talked about.
I love Audi... Currently own 4, 2 running, 1 parts car and 1 that I'm doing head work on because my wife burned up an exhaust valve! All A4, S4 are sweet but I'm cheap. Plus I like 4 cylinders... Not sure why though...
@@cheapspeed my 01 B5 has all the bolt on goodies, K04 with methanol. I've been tuning it myself with Eurodyne, it's pretty fun but it's the only B5 I've ever seen that is a manual transmission, no sunroof and FWD! My wife's car is an 8 speed automatic 14 B8 flex fuel with Intergrated Engineering stage 2. When the tires start to get bald it will spin all 4 if it's wet. It really is crazy how fast these little engines can be...
@@cheapspeed you know I've been wanting to. I'm always working on one of these damn cars. It may help someone. I just pulled out all the valves on the B8, without a valve spring compressor, to replace the burnt one and sand blast the carbon off the rest.
Alex raging at the traverse is me everyday driving home from work, exact same attitude quiet disappointed anger. Also Edgar love the car looks and sounds great

Audi 4.2 V8 before the FSI crap models are very reliable. All easy to work on. All Timing belt Audis of back then C4, Allroad, B5 1.8T, 2.8, 2.7T and D2, and even the D3 engine wise, all very good.
Thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries I also happen to own all of the ones I stated (besides Allroad and C4) as well, so I'm only here to push the reliability forward lol.
One more thing about this, you need to mention, it has the Aluminium chasis, so no rust! I own A8 D2 with 4.2 220KW made in 95 and i absolutelly love the car. If you imagine, it is 27 years old, some of new cars cant offer comfort as this one can. It is unbelivable what they could develop in these times.
Great point!
I have one too. 2001, double rare Fern Green, solar sunroof electric rear blind, electric seats in the back as well. Everything works except for the tv but that isn’t the cars fault. Every option on it except for the heated steering wheel which wasn’t available in the U.K. Mine is a 10/10.
Edgars example has been fiddled with unfortunately. Get everything working and restore it back to original condition starting with the steering wheel. Then it’s value will sky rocket.
Still have it if I ever decide to sell it. 🙂 -Edgar
Same wheels as my 2015 S8. Adore the car, the best full size performance sedan ever made. Mine with a flash tune an 100 octane will show many unsuspecting people the taillights.
Thats amazing! These cars are definitely underrated, in any generation i feel. -Edgar
Beautiful car! Should definitely do a video on the 2010 v10 model.
I have a d3 07 s8 v10 and live less than a mile from fitment. Probably wouldn't be hard to have him review my car. Although I would like to do a few more mods before that.
So I need some help i think.. I just need more confirmation from car people especially for the VW line.
I own a top model of the VW Beetle 2012 GTI Chassis and GTI Engine + DSG, it has 18" rims with 235/45 R 18 98 Y M+S All Season Tires
I got some fitting 19" Rotiform wheels 8.5X19 5X112 5X120 ET45 NB72.5 (yes it has a multiple lug setup).
I found some TOYO Tires (TOYO proxes sport xl) And when i search for which tire dimensions I need are, (235/40ZR19 96Y TOYO proxes sport xl).
Every tire dealer online recommends these tires is this correct? can I order them without any issues?.
I would personally take a look at our gallery and look at similar specs! That should be the easiest to determine and not make a mistake, you can also email our team at wheels@fitmentindustries.com, they’ll be happy to help! Here’s a link to the gallery! -Edgar

Audi S4 owner here, and yes please raise the price of the 4.2 :)
I bought a 2015 A8L 4T and had the S7 engine mods installed with the APR stage 3 chip tune for 720-wheel HP on the APR dyno, Quatro with 8 speed trans, a modern sleeper. Love the massaging seats. Audi makes a great car if you buy their top 3 models and stay away from the entry level cars. They should bring back the 5-cylinder straight engines again for their 5 series models with turbos
you mean the rs3 and tt-rs? lol...they're 2.5 literss now 2.2
@@SuperWewt No I bought the 8 series and then had APR make it a beast with 740 HP going to all 4 wheels.
Quattro.
What you do is buy a used 2 year factory leased turn in that has less than 25K miles on it so you SAVE that 35% value drop rolling a new car off the lot!
So I got a 120G Audi out the door for 61G and spent my saved cash on APR modifications and tuning.
It super clean and that is the s8 that I like the big box ones
🤝🤝🤝 -Edgar
Rear sunshade caught on the lip, needs a little pull to go up when activated.
First time I saw the movie Ronin with the Audi S8 with nitrous I fell in love with it. Audis from this time period have a look that's hard to beat.
Agreed! Thats why i picked one up! Its a good vehicle for sure. -Edgar
I would rate it a 9/10 definitely! Especially Edgar's build looks so nice with those Rotor rims. I love 90's and 00's Audi's... I own a '98 A4 1.8T sedan (Amazing engine for a first car) and I just love the looks of it. The A8 and S8 look very similar up front but that rear end of the D2 is just that little bit nicer, I wish I could afford owning one haha. In my opinion the Audi B4, B5 and the D2 chassis are the best Audi's ever made, both in therms of engines (Not really reliability but more likely the mechanics) and looks, I love them!
🙏🙏🙏 gracias! -Edgar
As an owner of the a B7 A4, this car is exactly what I need. Still uniquely 2000s Audi but a V8 and a lot more roomy
And reliable. It’s a great powetrain! -Edgar
People in US didnt know nothing bout this cars. In Europe in some countries its a moto dream. This v8 in this s8 is like a tank on the road. Super fast tank
Fast and reliable tank! 🤘 im glad its still appreciated in Europe, which im not surprised! -Edgar
As someone who owns a 2005 S4 with the timing chains in the back, he is correct. It’s a pain working on the vehicle.
My buddies grenaded on him not once but twice and it was NOT cheap so he just sold it off.. 😢😢😢 -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries mine is currently parked waiting for the money to make sure that doesn’t happen haha tell Edgar’s buddy I’m sorry because I truly do love this cars platform haha
Right up my alley... the A8..BMW 740il and the MB S500. 1999 or even 2000’s ❤❤❤
Big body luxury sedans! 🥰 i was debating between this or a 7 series also! Glad i went with this one. -Edgar
really like your style of presenting, very amusing , i dont care for the car , im here for entertainment. good job.
Congratulations on breaking the cup holder and burning up the sun shade motor in one video session.. I'd never let you near my d2 s8
11/9 ITS A VEHICULAR MAILBOX YESSSSSS😩😩😩😩
Not even gonna cap, I never heard of this car...
8/10 tho, I think of it as a German LS400/Toyota Celsior lol
Pretty much :) just 100 more HP than those. Just as comfortable! Welcome to the new discovery! -Edgar
I'd say it's a 9/10 overall. I wish the wheels were painted bronze or satin black. The steering wheel looks okay but I'd go for a better looking wheel.
I had a 2001 A8L. It was amazing and clean.
B5 S4 owner here but I’d love an old S8 for some smooth high speed highway cruising
Let me tell ya.. With bags, its such a comfortable ride. Well worth it. -Edgar
Many of us S8 owners came from a B5 S4, you'll be in good company. Just be prepared to order everything from overseas as its all NLA in the US.
I give it a 9/10 only because the steering wheel wasn't in my own taste and it eliminated the fun to use Tiptronic controls. That being said its in way better condition appearance wise than my own S8 but, I don't mean to brag, mines a manual!
I've got a 2001 S8, it's a 6-speed manual swap and yes it is in the rust belt of the United States. A manual transmission really brings this car to life and makes it very fun to drive. 360HP V8, AWD, manual transmission AND more than enough family and friends seating without complaints of leg room....what more could you possibly want in a car?!
Love this car 100% I’m glad I picked one up! Happy you have a manual swap! I’ve thought about it.. but I know it wouldn’t be cheap. -Edgar
Hiii Edgar!! 🤘🏾 Love your car 😁
Thanks homie, still a couple more things to add on to it but im happy with its current standings! -Edgar
Welcome Back from Vacation Alex.Fi!!!
That’s quite a clean car build imo fitment looks suuuuuper clean!
Gracias! 🙏🙏🙏 -Edgar
I have 2005 Audi s4 b6 v8 manual, should be selling soon, very mint, these audis are faster than bullets
Best car I have ever own. 10 out of 10 on All except reliability. That would be a 2!!
2000 b5 s4 here. Alex is wrong. She has treated me with nothing but smiles and grins. Get one :)) Cheap? No, but I wouldn’t trade her for anything.
I have one exactly like that one. I e rebuilt all of the mechanicals. I love it. The perfect sleeper, cops don't even notice me.
🤘🤘🤘 -Edgar
I have this Bad Ass machine 2001 still love it only 112000 miles recent rebuilt tranny ,also brought 2015 s8 yeah I know life is damm good 😤
That’s dope! We’re close to the same mileage! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 -Edgar
Well my dad loves Audis so I might be a little bias but

I know it can be a great car because it was an amazing back in the day. Keyword, back in the day. No one wants to work on the cars and the ones who do either will rob you for driving an Audi or hate themselves...my dad went through both stages and has a mk4 Jetta now. It's still a good car but don't expect it to lasting forever cuz the headaches it gives will kill you first.
Also Alex, I think it would be funny if you reviewed the Avalon there, also because I have the first generation and they're almost identical and think they're pretty nice for a economy Lexus but give it a shot.
💪💪💪 -Edgar
Hello. The lock will break with so much weight from the keys. In each puddle the lock will open and at some point it will not read the key. Only enter the car key.
Great cars! Just bought a Audi S5 4.2 V8 350bhp manual.Does 0-60mph in 5 secs.Got a £60,000 car for peanuts 🏎💥🔥
S5’s are a great vehicle! -Edgar
I have a 2001 Audi a8, and I wish there were more aftermarket mods for the s8/a8, there's barely any
I always see these titles and think to myself not anymore 🤣
😂😂😂 -Edgar
10/10 the D2 s8 is leak cool, that steering wheel needs to go though. Sorry you got one that didn’t have a clean interior, most don’t have that damage you talked about.
Anyone who’s ever seen the movie Ronin, knows how bad ass this car can be, or is…! Plus all their Lemans wins in that same time period.
🤘🤘🤘 -Edgar
Went with a b6 s4 instead of one of these. Not sure why but I love the b6 body
B6's are a vibe too! Buddy of mine had one in Imola back in the day. -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries my dream color!
B6 are literally the middle child
@@raccs600 what car actually competed again an M car again?
@@druwvargo4287 I meant in a good way lol . Timeless design
I love Audi... Currently own 4, 2 running, 1 parts car and 1 that I'm doing head work on because my wife burned up an exhaust valve! All A4, S4 are sweet but I'm cheap. Plus I like 4 cylinders... Not sure why though...
Tuned 4 cylinders put out such great sound
I like 4 bangers too
@@cheapspeed my 01 B5 has all the bolt on goodies, K04 with methanol. I've been tuning it myself with Eurodyne, it's pretty fun but it's the only B5 I've ever seen that is a manual transmission, no sunroof and FWD!
My wife's car is an 8 speed automatic 14 B8 flex fuel with Intergrated Engineering stage 2. When the tires start to get bald it will spin all 4 if it's wet. It really is crazy how fast these little engines can be...
@@4BillC you should upload a video of it that would be good
@@cheapspeed you know I've been wanting to. I'm always working on one of these damn cars. It may help someone. I just pulled out all the valves on the B8, without a valve spring compressor, to replace the burnt one and sand blast the carbon off the rest.
Edgar has a D2 S8, I didn't know it Also had the 4.2, sick!
Early 2000s Audi gang!
Yup! The better 4.2 and not the one thats going to leave me stranded haha, thank you! 🌮🌮🌮 -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries I'm right there with you, the 4.2 is a great engine, glad I have that one and not something junky🤣🤣🤣
Alex raging at the traverse is me everyday driving home from work, exact same attitude quiet disappointed anger.
Also Edgar love the car looks and sounds great
😂 thanks homie! A couple more things to make it different! -Edgar
10/10 obviously!
Lmao love the traffic rants
😂😂😂 -Edgar
10s all round....had an 04 A6 and loved it
Can't wait to see these shoot up in value
I got mine for a screaming deal and im happy. 🙂 -Edgar
