2011 Audi S8 – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWhen the Audi S8<\/a> was nixed from the automaker’s lineup late last year, the news produced a collective sigh around Autoblog Towers. Audi’s<\/a> largest, most powerful sedan held a special place in our hearts, but redemption appears to be right around corner – the Nürburgring’s Carousel, to be exact.<\/p>\n

With the introduction of the standard A8<\/a> in the rearview mirror, Audi has begun work on the S-ified variant of its stately saloon, and like the RS6<\/a>, it’s rumored to be powered by a Lamborghini Gallardo<\/a>-derived V10, with a duo of turbochargers hanging from the exhaust manifolds.<\/p>\n

The output of the next S8 will jump from the outgoing model’s 444 horsepower to somewhere north of 600 hp, with torque boosted from around 400 pound-feet to upwards of 550 lb-ft of twist.<\/p>\n

Although these spy shots don’t provide a clear glimpse of the stylistic upgrades, expect a more chiseled front fascia, lower ride height and modified rear diffuser. Quad tailpipes hint at the 5.2-liter twin-turbo beast within, while massive stoppers are expected to be framed by 20- or 21-inch wheels.<\/p>\n

We’re expecting the S8 to make its debut sometime later this year or early in 2011, with sales beginning in the middle of next year. <\/p>\n
