The executive sleeper — an aluminum-bodied luxury saloon with a 4.2-liter V8, quattro all-wheel drive, and the unmistakable cinematic association with John Frankenheimer's 1998 thriller Ronin.

The S8 is designed to operate at 130 mph for hours in unattended German motorway conditions. The only car in the collection with a directly canonical movie-history pedigree.

First volume luxury sedan with fully aluminum body construction (Audi's ASF). Body-in-white was 40% lighter than a comparable steel structure. 4.2L V8 (340 hp Europe / 360 hp 1999 U.S.), five-speed automatic, quattro AWD with Torsen Type-1 center differential.
