The concept of a monstrously powerful executive express isn’t exactly new, but Audi brought a level of technical sophistication and understated elegance to the genre with the launch of the S8 in 1997.

The S8 may no longer be the most modern car you can buy, but it still feels quick, extremely well built and hasn’t lost too much of its lustre. What’s more, they’re available for a good deal less than you might think.
