2007 Audi S8


Audi S8 has always been one of my favorite luxury sedan. Although you can't say they copy Mercedes or BMW they have a style of their own. Providing comfort with performance and style. With a ration of 40:60 (front/rear) the new s8 is an idealistic performance car, that carries Audi's first V10, with an all famous quattro all wheel drive system, stabilizing control and handles of the vehicle. The engine provides 450 hp and 400 torque and can do 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds. The price is not as much as I thought it would, after all it competing with other luxury performance vehicles, the pricing starts at $92,000 compared to a BMW 760li which is $122,000, also a V12 and does 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. The 760li in result is just a little bit slower off the line.
