Audi redesigned their top of the line sport sedan for 2011. The new Audi A8 has redesigned sheet metal and a more pronounced fascia on the outside and the interior is decidedly Audi - upscale and modern.
Once you're behind the wheel of this stunning uber-sedan and you're already enjoying some of the best driving dynamics in the world you'll be ready to enjoy the super-modern interior and amenities. Super cool lighting treatments are one of the first things you'll notice about the Audi's interior.
The 2011 Audi A8 is most often compared to the Mercedes-Benz S550 and the BMW 7 Series variants. They each offer their own take on the European sport sedan. The big differentiator is probably the price in the case of the Audi. The Audi comes standard with all-wheel-drive and for the piece of mind and safety that AWD adds choosing amongst the three competitors is more difficult than ever.
Vehicle: 2011 Audi A8
Engine: 4.2 liter, 8 cylinder, direct injection
Transmission: 8 speed automatic
Horsepower: 372 hp and 328 lb-ft of torque
0-60 MPH: 5.5 seconds
MPG: 17 city / 27 highway

Excellent review - great presentation style, great delivery and great information. This car is definitely a 'beast' to say the least - Audi has a way with mixing aesthetics and performance - in a manner that quite frankly, amazes me.

Ross, you forgot to mention how the seats scare the devil out of you by grabbing you when you start the car. The side bolsters and lumbar change positions when you start the car. Kind of weird the first time you experience it! :-)

@mozartman2000 - the spaceframe and the body panels are aluminum... the A8 was first in class to do it. Jaguar does a good job uses different methods yes... but they weren't the first. Their main weight advantage is because they don't have AWD in their vehicles.

You make a good point - being that the car is aluminum - the only downside to AWD is erased. Love everything about this car - except for the front face... it just doesn't look as good as the smaller Audi's - or as classy as the Jaguar XJ or Merc S-Class. That aside - performance and fuel efficiency will improve even more when the 4.0T with cylinder de-activation finally gets utilized.

i think family saloons like this are best made with diesel ... even though this is a V8, i think a diesel would do better as alternative fuel is now in demand.. why not? there is an Audi R8 with a V12 diesel and thats a supercar ... plus, Audi has produce some really outstanding clean diesel engines ... btw, this A8 is marvelous .. have a nice day people :)
