Gemballa S8, simply awesome...

Gemballa tunes Audi S8's and puts in a supercharger into an already powerful naturally aspirated 4.2 litre engine that produces 360 hp...how much do you guys think the supercharger added to it??? Im not sure but the Audi S8 has been my favorite high end luxury sport sedan, I think for the price and performance, I gotta say that it beats the Mercedez S-class and the BMW 7-series...here are some pics of the Gemballa tuned S8...enjoy!

in this one you can see the belt on the pulley of the supercharger...for all you people who would say that it is a turbo instead of a supercharger...

i like everything except that ass. It needs the 4 exhaust tips to make it look as mean and powerful as it was made to be.

That body kit isn't all that hot.

I'd just get the engine upgrades and the wheels =)

I dont know what your taste is like, but I like the understated classiness of a subtle body kit that just makes the car seem hunkered down to the ground at the same time keeping the car's original body lines with a sporty edge...and this Gemballa S8 is basically all that and has the performance to back it up...some magazines even said that the S8's chassis is composed for a luxury sedan yet when put to the limit, it is stiffer and handles better than a M5, even with it's bigger chassis...but yes the M5 will eat it for lunch from a stop, about a full second difference in the 0-60 and quarter mile...but thats what that Gemballa Supercharger is for

Looks great, just not into those rims at all....I would get the standard European S8 wheels (in Ronin) before I picked those.
