2006 was a good year for Audi Australia. It sold 5770 cars with the A4 being the volume seller and the arrival of the Q7 helping bolster sales, along with the superb TT coupe. Locally sales are up 20 per cent over 2005 thanks to the new models and Audi is confident of double digit growth this year. So on the back of this good report card, the company added some year-end spice to the lineup with the arrival of the RS4 Avant, S6 and S8. And if a V10 engine is good enough for the S6, then it’s good enough for the $259,900 S8. This performance sedan is an all-alloy high-speed cruiser.
