Very beasty ... has a 5.2L V10 churning out 450bhp and 540 Nm of torque ... despite its huge size and weight, it reaches 100kmh from rest in just 5 secs, all that in superb comfort and luxury [inlove]

Had the chance to sit on my friend's A8 5.2 to KL. Cruising all the way from 150kmh to 220kmh during running in. It is the most comfortable ride I ever had. Sound insulation and power is top class + plenty of features.

chunks of power nonetheless, but if power delivery is nice and smooth and linear then torque steer will be non-existent.

 

my personal experience with the TT didn't encounter any torque steer besides a few very small twitches when flooring the accelerator in all gears. it boils down to the power delivery, which the SE points out as being creamy.

 

to which i agree, but then it's a less raw and less adrenalin rush. [;)]

hmmm??? i tink there is a bit of misunderstanding here.. [dizzy][dizzy]

 

i meant torque steer is a problem associated with powerful FWD cars... say any more than +/-250 depending on car set up... tat's y u seldom see a FWD with big BHP figures...

 

since the S8 is so powerful.... its impossible to be a FWD car [sweatdrop]

 

and yr TT being a 4WD wouldn't have torque steer... [sweatdrop]

 

correct? [;)]

I am sure there are, but why would you want to? Its tuned for more torque as befitting a luxury supercar inlove.gif

 

You mean 444bhp isnt enough? sweatdrop.giflaugh.gif
