I've driven several generations of the Audi A8, and the older models did indeed use superchargers, especially the 4.0T W12 versions around 2009. The supercharger was tucked inside the V-angle of the cylinder block, producing a particularly deep sound. However, the entire lineup has now switched to turbocharging. Even the 60TFSI W12 is gone in the 2023 model, replaced uniformly by a 3.0T twin-turbo setup that offers quicker response and better fuel efficiency. Supercharging has become history.
