    Good afternoon,

    I am looking to change my A6 C7 for an A8/S8 2015-2016.

    I can see the difference between both models in terms of power.
    My question, does the A8 4.0 have the same internals as S8 and the HP are limited only electronic (like S8 and S8+) or there is something more about the S8 that I cannot see?
    I like more the LWB than the regular size of A8 and that might be the reason that I would incline to get the normal A8 but in case that there are a lot internal differences I would go for the S8.

    Thanks in advance.

    We are finding they have a habit of destroying their turbo’s if not serviced double the recommend interval and at £5k a pair (not currently available anywhere except genuine) plus fitting, it gets annoying....

    Which one? A8 or S8? Or both? Taking care of her would not be the problem. The only thing that matters to me is the difference between A and S, not in terms of design (S have different look) but in terms of performance.
    As example, if I buy a 4.0 LWB, I am able to "unlock" the power from 420 to 605...and from there to start a Stage 1, 2 etc to make her more capable?

    Again, LWB is my weak spot but I`d rather go for a more capable one (S8) in terms of performance than the LWB.
    Transmission, engine, turbo`s, suspension are the same on both vehicles?

    I am thinking that being the same components, the only problem that cut the HP is the map on each one, so it comes to a soft thing which can be sorted out with the original one of an S8+.

    Seen it on S6, S7, S8 and RS6, check with a cooperative dealer or TPS to see how many turbo’s for a rare car VAG UK have in stock...
