The fast version of the Audi A8 is here and we’ve reviewed it. Yes, the 2020 S8 might look like a dentist’s car, but as you’ll see in our review, it’s absolutely sensational. It has incredible suspension, which can literally leap over speed bumps, a wealth of interior tech, and the same engine you get in the Lamborghini Urus. On paper, it might just be one of the best cars in the world. Maybe even the best. Watch to see why!

@@Bosna293 Stathams car had a W12 engine. This car deserves the majesty and opulence of 12 cylinders. That V8 is good, but Its in just about everything, nothing special. At this price/level, Id want something unique. To think the S8 had a V10 once upon a time. The RS6 even stuck 2 turbos on it. Id have been more impressed with a V8 with electric assist.

The suspension also protects you from side impact it raised the car when sensing anything moving toward you so the frame takes the hit, not the door.

They dislikes might also be from people who recognize how much this Audi is "borrowing" from the BMW Group's Rolls Royce. Usually, reviewers mention who did something first, otherwise it begins to feel like an infomercial.

@KemuelValdes 4 года назад

@Martin Evans brands copy each other all the time. It's not just Audi. That said, we should give credit where is due. They copied i-drive and a few other things. It doesn't make their products less than. However, a reviewer should mention things like that in regards to objectivity.

I love Rory Reid and he was great on TG and especially in his solo bits. But that show rests on the chemistry of the presenters together and while he was great - like LeBlanc and Harris too - as a threesome they felt professional but never that natural. I was hugely sceptical of the new line up at TG but it’s been a blast to watch so I think they made a good call. I don’t see the internet as being a demotion for Rory - he’s doing the stuff he does brilliantly, having fun and getting clicks and getting paid.

Another informative and well presented review. I can't understand how the BBC let this guy go to be replaced by the current Muppet Show on Top gear. I think Rory and Matt Watson along with possibly the guy from High Peak Autos (for his dry northern wit) would make a great team to rival Hammond, May and Clarkson. But I think they should be left to their own creative presenting talents and not try to be moulded into what the BBC thinks we want. Just my opinion.
