I watch your videos because i enjoy them and love to see what your getting up to, not because I'm curious to what you do to get your cars. people who sit in all day watching and wondering how you afford your cars obviously do nothing and are jealous of the fact they won't get what you have!

Someday I may be able to get one of these, someday. It's one of my dreamcars. I drove an A8, not the S8 and almost bought it but the wife wanted a house instead.
Wait 5 years, then pick one up for less than 35K. Oh hey, look at that...5 years went by in a heartbeat! www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=532582176&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fsearchresults.xhtml%3FstartYear%3D2015%26sortBy%3DderivedpriceDESC%26incremental%3Dall%26firstRecord%3D0%26marketExtension%3Dtrue%26endYear%3D2015%26modelCodeList%3DS8%26makeCodeList%3DAUDI%26isNewSearch%3Dfalse&startYear=2015&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0&endYear=2015&modelCodeList=S8&makeCodeList=AUDI&clickType=listing
I used to work for a VW/Audi dealer back in the 90s and drove the A8 (4.2l) when it was first introduced - that was a nice drive and wasn't exactly a slouch, so I can only imagine what this S8 is like.
Love your videos Shmee - GT4 & FF - definately two of my fav. cars at the moment, the 675LT looks amazing too - first McLaren I really love the looks of. It would be cool if you would differentiate these 'test drive event' videos slightly more. All the 570S videos where in my oppinion slightly repetive, I'd like to see the trips to your test drives as pure travel and 'behind the scenes' type of videos - and then having the full test drive and detailed introduction in one video. I respect you showing your life to the world like this, I know me and my friends wouldn't.
So I had a 2013 S8 and a 2016 S8, they are excellent cars and buying them used and reselling years later they really held their value. I did upgrade the tune through APR and the hp numbers were even better than the plus.
FYI the show if going to be awesome, and I'm positive Tim would be honoured to be a part of it. Not only would it alow him to do what he loves to do it would also finance his car collection even further
+Robbie Mason Tim has a good following of the younger generation so i think he would be ideal as a presenter and also i like the way he reviews cars. its like the way it used to be before topgear started doing stupid stunts etc.
I remember the launch of the Audi V8 in 88 or 89.Audis first stab at,well for the most part BMW and Merc. People were going "It`s still JUST an Audi." and no one really thought Audi would ever be as good as it`s german siblings.And now look...
Hei. I have a s8 plus reg.feb 2016,, do sone know if IT have launch control and how do You activate ? And will IT be negative too youse IT often , and i guess IT will be quicker from 0-100?
I think it's hilarious when they put little bits of carbon fiber on the dash on a car that weighs the size of a small moon. I'd rather just have beautiful dark wood on this car than that carbon fiber.
Yeah, carbon fiber is perfect for track only cars. I prefer real dark walnut inlay trim, dashboard and center console for a fine high quality automobile like this.
Probably Audi's best car, looks very pro in each day use for a pro driver, BUT how about next to the huge BMW 7. which one for VIP-Transporter, with or without ekstra tune and special gear, armor ?
8'28'': j'ignore si la pétarade au lever de pied de l' accélérateur est dûe à une détente spécifique des gaz ou à autre chose. Est-ce voulu ou est-ce un "side effect" de conception?
Considering this car is more than 5 years old and still awesome.. Imagine what the new a8 will be like.. It will blow the competiton away from the water
I must say that Tim is getting boring or more likely getting bored himself because of his lack of interests in cars of lower specs than his BLUE CREW. Deny all you guys want but im not a hater honestly. I kind of feel that he has been material oriented recently and is much blinded by fame that he has lately been neglecting the true passion for other automobiles in general other. I AM A LOYAL SUPPORTER OF THE SHMEE150 CHANNEL AND TIM and i do sincerely hope that Tim himself will not lose TRUE PASSION for automobiles of all sorts and wish he is never just running these social channels for the sake of a job and money.. Sucess makes a person but greed and pride will certainly ruin it all. #JUSTSAYINGIFANYONEAGREES
Mirrors that fold upwards are so stupid. There is no thought in that at all. When it snows, you come back and your mirror are covered in snow/ice. Then it takes a while for the heaters to melt everything. The Mercs used to properly fold and almost touch the doors, and that actually kept the snow from sticking to the mirror.
I remember when this first S8 came out everyone was going crazy, this was the first big size sedan 0-60 in around 4 sec and back then I think the best a sedan would get was 6 sec. but then again in no time the tesla came out 0-60 in 3 sec :D
In videos, but they're pretty nice in real life. Had a run with an RS5 recently, all stock, when the owner just cruises around it's pretty incognito, but when it's in sport/dynamic mode, the exhaust sure gets louder and gives the car more presence.
I'm about to buy a 17 audi s8. Does anybody have any pros or cons to owning one of these. I'm going from a Volvo s60 to one of these. I'm hoping it has the same reliability and dependable like my Volvo
can you get some Creative Commons Songs on your Cellphone and show us the Sound System just a little? As long as u refer to the artist its all fine with CC-Licences
To be honest, it sounds very aritificial...and the gearshifts seemed very slow, well maybe because it was in a comfort setting. It looks quite good at least.
Elias Munana i hope you will get it one day. Iam interested in the 4.2 l diesel engine. Here in austria we pay way too much taxes for this lot hp. So I have to buy the diesel version on it and tune it up a litle.
Overall interior looks cool except one detail - that analog clock looks too cheap and doesn't fit to car of that price level... it should be branded by one of luxury watch brand (like IWC in Mercedes AMG)
Best executive car ever made hands down, amazing car just amazing.
2:32 Wow. That noise elimination was pretty amazing.

Next Video: "Picking up my new Audi S8!"
No surprises there.
+Unknown Person Yeah he probably got it a few months back. Would be cool though if Tim got an S8, its such an awesome car
No, next video will be "Picking up my new B777"
Horst Fuchs Video after that "Picking up my own personal Planet."
Rat Face Hehe :D
This car should be amazing in BLUE!!
Audi's
SEPANGE blue would be awesome!!!
+Alex Halsey Yes,a car with a look like that must be in a more sporty/sexy colour,not that grey..
+Scirocco ThePunisher It's Matte Forest Silver. It looks very stunning in this. But I agree, a blue red or black would be amazing!
+Scirocco ThePunisher Nah, black with black wheels is the way to go!
Satin Black, Gloss black rims, carbon trim and 100% tinted rear and 30% front tinted. That'd be sick :O
This is the EXACT spec I’ve been searching for. One day I’m going to find it.
Someday I may be able to get one of these, someday. It's one of my dreamcars. I drove an A8, not the S8 and almost bought it but the wife wanted a house instead.

i'm not a big fan of Audi but this one is just GORGEOUS! Look at that color!!!
5:53 - that city on the yellow sign (Neuenstadt am Kocher) is where I live directly next to, that's like 5 Miles from his destination ^^
The Albanian mafia would love this car !
+TobRacer Albanian mafia hahaha
Bring back Clarkson!
But it doesn't matter because he's with Amazon, lel.
+TobRacer i thought they only drive BMW :P
+Laati Mercedes*
pick it up for 1/5 of the price in a couple of years
true.
+Javead Miah lol like 6-7 years then.
+Javead Miah And with 5 times as much problems.
+ProZackBoy It's called "new features" not "problems" lol

I used to work for a VW/Audi dealer back in the 90s and drove the A8 (4.2l) when it was first introduced - that was a nice drive and wasn't exactly a slouch, so I can only imagine what this S8 is like.
Excellent review as always. Thanks for your hard efforts every day.
By far my favorite car vloggor on UA-cam!
I love how u press a button and the screen pops up I love every thing about it I love the back

Which one more comfort, powerfull and good handling. The M5 Competition or this S8 plus?
"Child seat mounting points. Uh yea don't have any of those"
Hahah
So I had a 2013 S8 and a 2016 S8, they are excellent cars and buying them used and reselling years later they really held their value. I did upgrade the tune through APR and the hp numbers were even better than the plus.
I got the new S8 a few weeks ago because I am looking forward to sell my A6 and get a new one. I hope I will get my hands on the S8 Plus aswell :P
+TheArtsOfSense Congrats, interested in knowing what model year and color
At 7:42 you can maybe see his Phonenumber at the Bordcomputer
Too long
+drivelinetime nope, 11 digits long
I think you should get a job on the new bbc topgear.
That is such a good idea 💡
+savagednb That show is going to be ass so i'm sure Tim would rather not associate himself with that.
FYI the show if going to be awesome, and I'm positive Tim would be honoured to be a part of it. Not only would it alow him to do what he loves to do it would also finance his car collection even further
+Robbie Mason Tim has a good following of the younger generation so i think he would be ideal as a presenter and also i like the way he reviews cars. its like the way it used to be before topgear started doing stupid stunts etc.
Robbie Mason The show is going to be terrible. Clarkson/Hammond/May's new show will destroy it. Chris Evans cannot replace any of them, he just can't.
I remember the launch of the Audi V8 in 88 or 89.Audis first stab at,well for the most part BMW and Merc. People were going "It`s still JUST an Audi." and no one really thought Audi would ever be as good as it`s german siblings.And now look...
With out a doubt Shmee, we got the same car taste. What do you think of the M6 Gran Coupé?
Such a gorgeous car imho!
i wonder why the shifts sound a little on the slower side, I thought this had a DCT box does it not?
are the previous generations still running?
Audi's are okay, but any old porsche 911 just looks much nicer (in my humble opinion). Nine Eleven's never go out of style. Rock on Shmee150..!
Probably be a nice daily car as well as the best long distance cruiser.
Hei. I have a s8 plus reg.feb 2016,, do sone know if IT have launch control and how do You activate ? And will IT be negative too youse IT often , and i guess IT will be quicker from 0-100?
Wonder when Shmee will get it ?
Probably you forgotten one part which is crucial for travelling in an S8 which is the back boot where you put all your stuff in :)
I think it's hilarious when they put little bits of carbon fiber on the dash on a car that weighs the size of a small moon. I'd rather just have beautiful dark wood on this car than that carbon fiber.
Yeah, carbon fiber is perfect for track only cars. I prefer real dark walnut inlay trim, dashboard and center console for a fine high quality automobile like this.
More wood and carbon fiber
Probably Audi's best car, looks very pro in each day use for a pro driver, BUT how about next to the huge BMW 7. which one for VIP-Transporter, with or without ekstra tune and special gear, armor ?

This paint!!! Coolest color off all time, holy shit!!!!!
Will you ever test out the s7?
+shmee150, is it Armoured?
what a car, amazing!
That Florence silver looks amazing
will you buy this awesome thing?
Hi shmee hope you are enjoying your cars
OMG 😍 Vorshprung Dutch Tecknik
will they ever do a RS8?!
Considering this car is more than 5 years old and still awesome.. Imagine what the new a8 will be like.. It will blow the competiton away from the water
What a life you have Shmee! Is this what you do for a living? I mean, how do you make your living? And what kind of car do you personally own?
I don't know how he makes a living but he owns a Mclaren 675lt, Porsche Cayman Gt4, and a Ferrari Ff
+SLuG Agreed. Way too many people getting nosy on these kinda channels.
is it possible to test the new range rover sport svr
range rover is my dream car sadly so expensive
On the inside sounds like a straight six up high in the revs which isn't necessarily a bad thing
Is this car reliable!? As a daily drive??
Can the s8 filter out Paul's exhaust from the inside? :'D
Could you show the Radioquallity
Did VW fake out the emission computer on this one too'?

Wow a 4 litre with all that power ! That's a lovely luxury stealth bomber ;-)
has anybody else realised that this audi has more power than a lamborghni huracan and the 458, utterly mind blowing
This looks amazing
And i think it would look amazing in red with a black roof :O
Oh wow!!! so beautiful
Panamera turbo S or Audi S8 Plus?
Is it faster than the ff?
Such a beauty
The A button behind the park brake isn't the automatic button
render your video's with a stereo sound output. It's pretty annoying when you're behind the camera and your voice comes from different directions.
Silver cars are usually boring but matt finish makes it special
Awesome car! I love audi but %100 i would buy an s class over this.
Naa..
Don't think the s class is four wheel drive is it ?
+Imer Izbul
you old man
So muh luxury, so much speed!
Perhaps put the camera where you can see the road ahead rather then the windscreen pillar....
why is there no RS8?
Mirrors that fold upwards are so stupid. There is no thought in that at all.
When it snows, you come back and your mirror are covered in snow/ice. Then it takes a while for the heaters to melt everything.
The Mercs used to properly fold and almost touch the doors, and that actually kept the snow from sticking to the mirror.
sweet ride
how much $$ btw. ?
+Łukasz Haraśny Starting at 143K euro
+Łukasz Haraśny starts at 143k in euros, $157k usd
Seems like it could be a good all-rounder.
I remember when this first S8 came out everyone was going crazy, this was the first big size sedan 0-60 in around 4 sec and back then I think the best a sedan would get was 6 sec. but then again in no time the tesla came out 0-60 in 3 sec :D
Audi S8+Mercedes AMG E63s+BMW M5 compétition they are the légends sedan car in world.
10 l/100km from a 600 HP V8? Very impressive, considering you get 5 l/100km from your average 150 HP diesel.
Doesn't get much more baller than an S8. Wish Audi made something like a Maybach. Not that I would be able to afford it, but still!
I hope that it sounds better in person. Audi's (except for the R8) never really have had great exhaust notes, but this is just nonexistent lol
It sounds stunning in real trust me drove in front of me and gave himself a kickdown
In videos, but they're pretty nice in real life.
Had a run with an RS5 recently, all stock, when the owner just cruises around it's pretty incognito, but when it's in sport/dynamic mode, the exhaust sure gets louder and gives the car more presence.
Ha, BMW's early carbon fiber trim in e34/e36 era had a red twill woven through it.
I'm about to buy a 17 audi s8. Does anybody have any pros or cons to owning one of these. I'm going from a Volvo s60 to one of these. I'm hoping it has the same reliability and dependable like my Volvo
I honsetly just wanna watch Monaco videos.
+Blankzifyz then clock on those....
same here
+Bart Missault you were the one arrogant here, ironically enough.
Nik Brudar
He's not arrogant at all
PGwollaVEVO
my post was at Blankzifyz
can you get some Creative Commons Songs on your Cellphone and show us the Sound System just a little? As long as u refer to the artist its all fine with CC-Licences
Audi has to be the best car company.
Really nice
To be honest, it sounds very aritificial...and the gearshifts seemed very slow, well maybe because it was in a comfort setting. It looks quite good at least.
omg audi , why did you do that? that clock in the middle :O
SUPER VIDEO :) 😂👍👍👍😂👍👍👍
Yes the IAA was great
Cool videos btw. I am fan from puerto rico
Finally more HP audi S8 Plus my dream Car. will work Hard to own it.
Did you get it?
Still putting cash together
Elias Munana i hope you will get it one day. Iam interested in the 4.2 l diesel engine. Here in austria we pay way too much taxes for this lot hp. So I have to buy the diesel version on it and tune it up a litle.
Now we're talking!
This and the RS6 best sounding cars ever created.
rs6 with stock exhaust you don't even hear when its overtaking you at full throttle...
Jason Genova qazvin xx xx
my dad is going to buy one !
paint is unbelievable
I thought Audi had shifted the MMI between the instrument cluster.
+Robert Fernandes That's an option, and on the A8 if you have the option you still have the MMI folding screen
But that isn't an option for the TT coupe now, is it?
The best looking S8 D4 2014
Overall interior looks cool except one detail - that analog clock looks too cheap and doesn't fit to car of that price level... it should be branded by one of luxury watch brand (like IWC in Mercedes AMG)
+supersonic I think it looks good.
Turbo Snail
or even Casio if designed in attractive way.
Still can't understand why people in the comments love that car. It looks like a car for old people...
It cant be a car for old people and they won't know how to use it...
Please ... Its a luxury sedan , with dark windows , quad exhaust , nice wheels and 600hp
my favorite sedan in the world
+Axel Tesla is better
+Mr Cars No.
***** no
+Axel Yes
+Van Kai no
I saw him in the audi centrum
In heilbronn
No virtual cockpit? For 140k it should have it. The analog cluster makes the intrument panel look outdated. The rest of the car is very elegant.
