As far as high-speed cruisers go, you’ll be able to’t do significantly better than an Audi S8. The sleeper sedan was actually constructed to munch via miles on Germany’s derestricted highways, and going by this video printed by AutoTopNL, the last-gen S8 can go even sooner than marketed when given sufficient area.

During a high velocity take a look at on the Autobahn in Germany, AutoTopNL is ready to get this 2017 Audi S8 Plus to an indicated 195 mph (315 kph). That’s properly previous the automobile’s manufacturer-quoted, electronically restricted high velocity of 189 mph (305 kph). 

With a twin-turbocharged V8 making 605 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque below the hood, we’re not shocked the S8 Plus can attain these speeds. We are shocked, nonetheless, that it did not slap a man-made limiter as soon as it reached 305 kph. Perhaps the pc was basing velocity on a special parameter inside the automobile, fairly than indicated velocity on the sprint. Or possibly there isn’t any limiter in any respect. Either means, we’re impressed.

What’s extra spectacular is the potential this S8 needed to preserve going. The driver did not cease accelerating as a result of the automobile would not preserve going sooner, he lifted to decelerate for vehicles additional up the highway. That means this big-boy Audi had much more to present. We’d like to see it actually maxed out. Chances are it might break the 200-mph mark if given the chance.
