Audi A8 4.2 Quattro (my dads)
2003 Audi A8 4.2 Quattro 360hk
Electronic speed regulator removed
Sport program retuned (S8 engine mod)
0-100kph - Icy roads, could'nt drive any faster
http://home.online.no/~eskaala/AS8/MOV00001.MPG
50-100kph
http://home.online.no/~eskaala/AS8/MOV00002.MPG
I'm going to buy a bigger memory card for my camera, so that I can take some more videos when the icy roads are gone

VERY nice car you've got there, nice you've made some videos. It's quite fast from 0-100 kph. I've mesured around 6.1 seconds. How fast can it go ?

I've measured about 5,6 seconds (0-100) on summertires and on dry asphalt (No ESP), and the speedo passed 270kph (didn't max) on our way home from Köln. So the modified sport program really worked.. top speed is so far unknown

Very nice car! I like big 4door saloons with a lot of power, you don't expect. May I ask what changes that S8 engine mode includes?

Performance ECU is my guess...However, 25hp addition would be quite a good achievement for a NA engine.But per cent wise , it's not that much so it could be.

It was bought used by a dealer in Köln in Germany and we were told the Sport program for the car (engine and susp.) was modified by the previous owner. He called it an S8 mod, but nobody really know what the next S8 is gonna be, most likely because the previous S8 had 360hp..

You are lucky the Skaala family to possess an A8 "The flagship of Audi". It's a car which has a lot of prestige and which is also sporty. The Quattro system is in its element in the snow of Norway.
