15 A8L 4.0T owner here. Most of the road noise in this car is due to the terrible stock Pirelli P Zero Nero tires. After swapping in Michelins, along with an alignment, the ride felt about 80% quieter and smoother than before

I have 06 Audi A8L . Built to last.. high quality

Just got that exact set up (2015 4.0T 49K) and love it. The seats are incredible -the stretch or pulse massage setting is amazing.

I have a 16 A8L 3.0T in this color. Picked it up CPO a year ago. It has been flawless. Such a great car. I’ve found you can cover ground carrying serious speed and attract zero attention.

The D4 generation I love, hopefully one day you review a S8/S8+. I’m in love with this generation of Audi’s

Wow! Beautiful ride, aged flawlessly!

great review.... This is a great channel, it's fascinating to see how these luxury models age

I have owned the D3 A8L and D4 A8L 4.0 but have also owned the W221 S550. It all depends what you WANT out of the car. I am not sure why anyone would buy this car WANTING to FEEL the speed. That is not the design of this type of car. HOWEVER.... The M278 in the Mercedes is a superior engine throughout. The VW EC824 is pretty good and is also reliable. If you tune both cars you're getting 540 from either BUT the Mercedes will give you 715 on torque whereas the Audi will give you 590. You can also upgrade the intake on the Mercedes (M278) and REALLY hear the BOV from the exterior. Whereas upgrade options for the Audi (EC824) are very limited. You would need to do A LOT of upgrade work on the 4.0 VFSI EC824 or EC825 to unleash the dual twin-scroll turbos. The stock turbos on the Audi are better BUT are harder to unleash. On the Mercedes side you could opt to upgrade to larger turbos to increase the PSI. That is all great..but these cars are designed to be dead silent in the cabin - seems stupid to reach for those goals in THIS car. The Mercedes is quieter in the cabin. The Audi has a nicer LOOKING executive rear package but it ends with the looks. The massage is better in the rear of the Mercedes and has massage for both seats, whereas the Audi only offers massage in the rear right passenger seat for the D4 series. I typically keep the MMI screen on the Audi closed but any time you think of touching the massage buttons on the side of the seat, the display opens to manage the massage functions. That is annoying. It is also annoying to have the controls down on the side of the seat. It can be a tight fit to get your hand there after you have memorized the location of each button. Both are fantastic cars. The D4 S8 is gorgeous (not a fan of the 2015 CLI) but is it better than the W221 S63?! That is a hard sell Dash - Audi Engine - Mercedes Exterior - split decision for me Interior looks - Audi Seats - Audi Seat/Massage controls - Mercedes Rear seats - Mercedes Rear executive LOOKS - Audi Rear executive FUNCTION - Mercedes Soft close doors - Mercedes Upgrade options - Mercedes Engine modifications (Intake, ECU, etc) - Mercedes Reliability - Audi Maintenance - Audi Not a Lexus fan. The Last 7 series I liked was the E39 lol As he said in the video, you cannot go wrong with either of these cars. Just be sure to do your homework first!!!!!!!

I Swear you read my mind. The review I’ve always wanted

Just got a 2012 A8L with just 44k miles and I’m loving it. To me, it looks like a brand new car, especially after I had it paint corrected and clear coated.

Amazing review. Keep up the great work!

I really do appreciate the subtlety of the A8's design it kind of shows how confident it is with it's luxury, same with the S-class you reveiwed. Nice video expectes nothing less

I really wish they offered the 4.0T in the Q7 that year :-(

That’s so true to me too bro I feel the same exact way I be like I bet u all these haters talking down on cars especially the Lexus ones never owned one and just hate because they don’t have one or it’s just the cool thing to do to them 😂🤣

I had an 05 and the build quality was amazing. Only gripe was no cup holder

Another Great one bro thanx really enjoyed it as always 👍🏾👍🏾

My 2012 D4 was exceptional in everyway! Only thing better is my 2019 D5

Awesome and honest review. Thanks a lot!

Good video. I know this car is absolutely decent and wonderful. But I am worrying about the terror or steal by bad guys in US.

Thanks, Kevin!

A low key pimp 😂🤣 that’s facts bro

How do you only have 23k followers??? Keep up the content.

The interior looks better in the brown or beige. Grey interiors just reminds me of a old man lol

He said "Pesant Blockers" LMAO

Guess the question would be what drive mode where you in eco,lux,dynamic or sport?

A8 better than S Class and 7 Series ? which is best?

yes sir, hidden gem right here. Stage 1 APR tune and this is faster than all the big sedans, and still be a sleeper

Hi i have the 2015 audi a8 3.0 i havent had the road noise problem and have the pzero nero tires they are great. Thanks for the review very informative

Very good review. Very informative 😃

Would you prefer this or 2015 Porsche Panamera 4S ? Thanks buddy

I'm here because I'm looking for a '15 and am going to do a super sleeper build and get it to about 550-600 hp.

Hey exhaust sport auto, can you do a review of a Kia K9??? :)

Apart from the w221, i really like this a8 & it looks much better with its led headlights and it age so well vs the w221. Only thing is that the interior of the audi looks the same as the a4 or a6..maybe for some is okay but for me the w221 does look more luxurious for me imho..

Yooo.. the lowkey pimp 🤣🤣🤣 Yeap, all of the top dogs are great rides. The Lex or Audi would be my grownup pick.

30K not bad at all.

I hope you can get your hands on a Mercedes Benz Unimog, would be an interesting review

12:55 peasant blockers LMFAOO

Sorry but I missed what year is this? Miles? Engine? You paid 30k with cpo?

You forgot to mention the rear seats have their own sunroof you can open

He make me want the car good review

how much is it bro ? plz tell me

Interesting that you say the LS460 has more thrust than the W222 S-Class. The S-Class does 0-60 a full second better, and I found it to feel exactly like that. Any of these have adequate power anyway. Comfort is the main point. Agree about the comment on the forums, the best is whatever I own.

The question is, what would you pick without any warranty?

Would this be a big step up from my GS450H??

There's only two main things with Audi that I don't like and that is 1: They're part of the VW group which means shit customer service and 2: every Audi looks like every other Audi, at least to me anyway, at least with a Benz or BMW you can tell an S class from a C class or 7 from a 3, this looks like a A4 just longer, they're just too generic for me.

You said you driven them but have you own them ? Because that’s where the difference is

Nice crafted vehicle no denying that but what's truly amazing is the vast difference between a 2015 & a 2020 vehicle. After watching your vid Kevin I watch a vid featuring a 2020 Cadillac CT6 Platinum & that Caddy was a clear definition of a pimp mobile! It had so much more bling & presence than the Audi that you would have thought the Audi was a much more older vehicle than it was. But who can argue when it's only $30K with 60K miles on it, that's a steal especially compared to it's original $100K sticker price. But it's just to darn conservative and I imagine would appeal to a certain demographic group of an 80 year old who doesn't want to drive anymore with one foot in the grave.

Yall heard the man.. benz is the best the rest r just chasing it.😎

From what I understand the 2013-2017 a8 4.0t shares the same issues as the 2013-2017 s7/s6 4.0t which is the catastrophic turbo oil screens and pcv issues which cost 10k to fix and Audi will NOT fix before the disaster happens. Basically it has to happen first then they will fix it under warranty IF you are still in warranty. If not then you’re out 10k!

my 2011 A8L 4.2 has 200k on it now lol

I'm on the fence between a A8 and RX 450h as a nxt car

Man; cars in the US are dirt cheap Here in expensive land, Australia this will be (55 to 65USD) and comes with a 3l turbo deisel !

10:19 ah yes, C R I S P Y gauge cluster screen

Low key pimpin LoL

Do it like Statham;get rid of the bmw for this (pref. the w12 )!!

Yo bro off topic but check that Nas new album it’s pure 🔥 thought about that to tell u since u mentioned him in that Benz SUV video 😉

I owned the D4 A8 for 18 months with the 4.0T. Here are my impressions, the interior is super dated even when it came out in 2011 because its the same as the D3 which dates back to 2004, nothing wrong with that in 2011, but when its been the same for 10 years, it really showed its decade old-ness by 2014. The trunk space is the smallest of any flagship. Yeah I agree with the slightly more road noise than the S-class. Brakes were also a tad more spongy but powerful than the other flagships. Very understated car, because it looks like an A4, but also with an outdated interior. Mercedes makes all their other sdeans looks like an S-class, but Audi has made their A8 look like an A4 which is unfortunate.

Yo bro 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾

The Lexus feels the most connected ? Yeah ok

The Lexus is the best because it will still be on the road in 15 years

damn nice car... looking at 2017 version

thats the L model

hi handsome mac daddy pimp . what a beauitful car. i love it., i like the way you stated that its a luxury lexus

This is bland. Nothing unique or stands out. The S class and LS is above and beyond better all around. E: and all Audi look the same

Dare I say... 1st lol

I got stage 3 crackle and Rs7 turbos
