Problems:
Oil leaks
High-performance engines like the Rolls-Royce Ghost's V12 are prone to oil leaks, which can be caused by worn seals, gaskets, or valve cover issues.
Turbocharger issues
If the engine is turbocharged, it might face problems such as turbo lag, boost leaks, or failure due to high performance demands.
Cooling system failures
The cooling system may struggle to keep the high-output engine at an optimal temperature, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.
Fuel system problems
High-end engines require precise fuel delivery, and issues with fuel injectors, pumps, or filters can cause poor performance or engine stalling.
Ignition system malfunctions
Problems with spark plugs, ignition coils, or the ECU can lead to misfires, reduced power, or difficulty starting the engine.
Timing chain/belt issues
Wear and tear on the timing chain or belt can lead to improper engine timing, potentially causing severe engine damage.
Exhaust system failures
The exhaust system, including the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, can fail, leading to decreased performance and increased emissions.
Sensor failures
Modern engines rely on numerous sensors (e.g., MAF, O2, knock sensors) that can fail or provide incorrect readings, affecting engine performance.
Electronic throttle control problems
Issues with the electronic throttle body or its sensors can lead to poor throttle response or engine stalling.
Carbon build-up
Direct-injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced efficiency and performance.

Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, like the one in the Audi S8, often have issues with oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets or the oil pan due to the complex design and higher number of gaskets and seals.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines, which are common in high-performance models like the Audi S8, often suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, leading to performance issues and reduced fuel efficiency.
Timing chain issues
High-performance engines with complex timing chain systems can experience wear and stretching over time, which can lead to timing issues and engine damage if not addressed.
Cooling system failures
High-performance engines generate a lot of heat, and the cooling systems can sometimes fail to keep up, leading to overheating issues, especially if there are any issues with the water pump or radiators.
Turbocharger problems
If the Audi S8 uses turbocharging, common problems include turbo failure due to oil starvation, carbon buildup, or bearing wear, which can significantly affect engine performance.
Fuel injector failures
High-pressure fuel systems in performance engines can lead to fuel injector failures, causing misfires, rough idling, and poor acceleration.
Ignition coil failures
With eight cylinders, the Audi S8 has multiple ignition coils, and these can fail over time, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.
Sensor failures
Modern engines rely on numerous sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAF sensors) for optimal performance. Failures or faults in these sensors can lead to poor engine performance and diagnostic trouble codes.
Exhaust system issues
High-performance engines often have complex exhaust systems that can develop leaks, failures in catalytic converters, or other related issues, leading to reduced performance and increased emissions.
