The A8 is justifiably considered the manufacturer’s flagship model. Like the other models from the German brand, the Audi A8 has a multitude of engines, including the 3.0L V6 turbodiesel that generates 240 horsepower and 406 lbs.-ft. of torque. The A8 can also be equipped with an incredibly smooth – and incredibly powerful – W12. With its beautiful colours, leathers and woods, the A8 is a veritable living room on wheels.
