Carscoop is running two new, unattributed photos of Audi's new S8 — set to launch this week at the Tokyo motor show. Powered by a detuned version of the Lamborghini Gallardo's V10 engine that produces 450hp — and marking a reported a zero-to-62 mph time of 5.2 seconds — the newest of Audi's Ss will be an appetizer to the still-unconfirmed RS8's 600hp main course.
