The A8L tees up brand personality and associations for the brand as a whole. In fact, it is stuffed not just with well-executed innovations and innovative features, but thoughtful ones, an Audi hallmark. Hence one’s sense that it is already third in a threesome of thoughtfully engineered but emotional German cars.
But most important, driving dynamics of this car are superb, leaving virtually nothing to be desired. Balance is near perfect: quattro, steering, and suspension make it a very sporty drive that inspires only confidence under any cornering challenge, the combination of 330-hp 4.2-liter V-8 and ZF six-speed gearbox, plus oodlles of torque, make it smoothly responsive in any situation, and the brakes, 360 mm at the front, are enormous, meaning do whatever you want, you can stop doing it any time without drama. The car drives much smaller than it is, and of course it is lighter than its size would suggest, owing to the use of aluminum.
Starts at $990,- / week
