Hints that you're looking at the sport model include a three-spoke, thickly-padded steering wheel and redesigned gauges, both featuring the S8 logo. Gray birch or optional carbon fiber inlays run the length of the doors and width of the dash; real alloy panels reside just below. Collectively, it makes for a beautiful interior, one made all the better when dressed up with the full leather package. But what might really catch your attention are the tweeters that pop out of the forward corners of the dash. They're part of the 1,100-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system that is also available on the A8.
