Like a fine wine, some vehicles get more exclusive with age, and it seems the Audi S8 (D3) is already making us nostalgic. As one of only two S car to have a V10 engine under its hood, the tuning market is starting to look its way. Only two years since production ended, used S8s are finding their way to new owners for the second or third time. And those who are picking up these vehicles are most likely to be much younger and tuner friendly than the original folks who bought the vehicles new. As a result, Anderson Germany has recognized this trend and has put together a new tuning program for the aluminum chassis vehicle. Dubbed the Superior Grey Edition, the Lamborghini derived 5.2-liter V10 with 450 PS (444 bhp / 331 kW) gets a reprogrammed ECU and new exhaust for an output increase of 58 PS (57 bhp / 43 kW). On the outside, the body receives a matte grey wrap, carbon fiber grille surround, full body kit with LED DRLs, gloss black 22-inch wheels with Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 tires, vented fenders and carbon fiber mirror housings. Inside, wood trim is replaced with carbon fiber and the upholstery is redone in quilted leather and Alcantara.
