More new metal! Audi has announced a mid-range A8L 4.0 T-Sport that serves up a nice round 450 horsepower from its twin-turbo V8. In addition to 15 more horsepower than the standard A8, the new sport model includes an aggressive styling package with front bumper extensions, side skirts and a lower rear bumper. Although model upgrades don’t always grab our attention, The Drive will always welcome an increase in horsepower.
