Audi A8
The A8 is Audi’s most prestigious sedan, designed to satisfy the most demanding drivers. A few different AWD versions – with normal or long wheelbase – are offered. To start, there are V6 and V8 engines, but the most powerful option is the 500-hp 6.3L W12 paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox. And then there’s the S8 for those looking for a sporty touch.
