Previous model Audi S8 official figures?

[vladman]

Hi guys,

I'm researching this car as my potential next car, and I'm having trouble finding accurate figures for it, especially for the 0-60mph acceleration times. They vary wildly from website to website, from 5.4 seconds on www.ultimatecarpage.com to 6.4 seconds on www.parkers.co.uk and anything in between on other various websites. Also the weight, I've seen figures ranging from 1675kg (3690 lbs) to 1845kg (4065 lbs).



Can anyone confirm official and/or tested figures?

Many thanks in advance.

P.S. Does this S8 has a model number (such as E39 for the same generation BMW M5 for example)?

Gentle bump... Anyone?

The platform designation is D2 for the previous model, D3 for the current.

Theres a document resource on one of the Audi subdomains but I cant bloody remember what it is, sorry.

Thank you very much Plotloss.

I use only official specs (from the manufacturer directly), and some performance data from reputable road tests, where possible.
