Audi A8
Audi's flagship sedan delivers superior comfort and performance, with a potent V8 engine and a choice of standard or long-wheelbase models. A stronger 12-cylinder powerplant is also available, but only in the extended-length version. The A8 handles very well for a car of its size and weight, and has a supremely comfortable interior. The car comes packed with high-tech features include adaptive headlamps and a Bluetooth interface with voice-recognition control. An extremely high-end audio system from Danish manufacturer Bang & Olufsen is available.
