The first spyshots of the 2011 Audi S8 have been unveiled by Autocar. There is not a lot to tell about this performance version of the new A8 saloon.

On the picture you see a test model with a standard A8 bodywork. Its identity is given away by the quadruple exhaust system and larger brakes. This S8 will be the first of Audi’s next-gen S models to have more visual differences from the standard range than the current S line-up. There will be more aluminium and carbon fiber inside future S models creating a more special package.

The new Audi S8 will be unveiled later this year, hitting the dealership beginning of 2011.
