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
Host: Ross Rapoport

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.

@armydray13 13 лет назад

That was a great review. Thanks for being so thorough and comparative to other models.

@cwoods901 13 лет назад

Every Audi i have ever been was amazing. the stand in a class of their own

@ethansilk 13 лет назад

Excellent review Ross... always like your presentation style... also please make sure that you show us the rear cabin space and trunk space of the cars you review... some of us do look at those stuff...

@neil10451 12 лет назад

For the past few years I've been fixing up two classic cars, I'm going to sell them when I turn 16 and buy one of theses!

@kkeyes66 6 лет назад

Nice review

@swinglow33 13 лет назад

Maybe Roadfly could try 2 reviewers compare the A8 and BMWs' 750i at the same time. I sat in the new A8, and it really is a beautiful place to be.

@lauriejamesmackeson 13 лет назад

Awesome review. Informative with genuine positives and negatives/questions about it's value. While I can never afford one, if I had the money and wanted to get something that wasn't a Subaru, an Audi would be my 1st and 2nd choice!

@Firmin119 12 лет назад

These are extremely nice ! My father had a 2008 Audi A8, but he wants to get the new 2011 Audi A8, but they are not in the inventory at our local Audi dealership yet.

@datboiwes333 13 лет назад

I enjoyed the review very informative. I probably would never be able to afford this car unless I buy a used one like 8 years from now lol

@ParodiesQC 11 лет назад

The funny thing is that it's not even that expensive comparing to its competitors.

@stk931 13 лет назад

@krsticmilos1 theyre called gloves. theyre used to keep your hands warm. but i believe the fingers on them were folded back so he could be comfortable turning the wheel

@bkvintagecorp 13 лет назад

Great review... This guy should of been an actor b/c he has a certain look to him

@GeorgeKnighton 13 лет назад

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! :-)

@lucian818 12 лет назад

I thought it said Audi R8 instead of A8 in the title before clicking on the video. I still like it though

@BigBoss13198 13 лет назад

@katanamast279 13 лет назад

This seems like a very cool car. I saw that the price as tested was way higher then the starting price. Which options did the test car you guys got have on it? Thanks

@Arabian5347 12 лет назад

Screw the 0-60 times and speed, (although it does both) this guy is about pure luxury and cruising around in complete comfort an looking sweet and it complete aces that

Audi truth in engineering

@SkinnedLynryd 12 лет назад

Who questions if Audi has caught up to BMW and Merc? Audi has clearly surpassed them both coming into this decade. Best sedans on the road today. Can't wait to buy a used A8 W12 when they're older haha

@BennyBrezze 12 лет назад

@lKingCobra I have not seen anybody wearing driving gloves so long. I cracked up too. lol

2012 7 series can be ordered now starting March and I will be placing my order once pricing is released next month.

@Amidat 12 лет назад

@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.

@ellasOLE22 13 лет назад

@SoHm84 yesss they are tweeters lol the car has 18 speekers inside with B&O system

@alexv8257 4 года назад

Would you recommend me to buy one with 114k miles?

@LitleDevilsSince1960 12 лет назад

wait, wait, wait! YOUR CALLED THE MERCEDES SWAN!

@Amidat 12 лет назад

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.

@minibus1351 12 лет назад

best car reviewer hands down.

@yungmulababy4431 12 лет назад

s class any day

@markmarshall39 10 лет назад

I have to reply to that just because ive seen that, plaza motors st Louis, the guy showing the car had a pair of white, don't know what they were made of, but did have a pair on, I thought that was classy, and the car was an a8l w12 model, I think it was around 150,000 bucks, a beautiful car, have a good one

@rickyrod3421 13 лет назад

One good thing I can say about this car is that I would get this over a S550.

@DKRaFiQ 13 лет назад

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 :)

@seattimetv 13 лет назад

The car is cool I own a 05' long wheel base and this new car is not as sporty feeling as mine. I think the 750i x-drive will be my next move.

@rickyrod3421 13 лет назад

The 750lix all wheel drive standard with run flat tires.

@RoamingDesertDweller 13 лет назад

would be nice to see the trunk and back seat too in these reviews... oh well

@LoveTheCity123 13 лет назад

@venom5809 My dad is thinking about getting the new BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, or a Mercedes-S550 ... I really like the new 7 Series and I hope that is the one he gets ..

@venom5809 13 лет назад

@LoveTheCity123 Should be in now. The Audi dealership in my town has a black one in stock. Must be optioned the same as this one because it is $93,000 on the nose.

@clvnblnkee 13 лет назад

@HOOPCITYDETECTIVE They were able to get more performance out of the V6T in the S4 though.

@atos.nympha3451 5 лет назад

Am buying Audi because of the shift lever and the quattro and the mpg ..but that shifter is a huge turn on for me dont know why ppl hated it.

@markmarshall39 10 лет назад

no1 for 3 years in a row, audi audi audi

@iHsg16 12 лет назад

@JLchevz "better" seems questionable I drove both audi and my friends bmw. Handling is totally a preference because we were driving lines on a windy road and the audi had the "feel of the road". The audi was a different character on many roads with the slightest differences (cracks etc). Now the bmw, when I drove, had sport tuned suspension which absorbed EVERYTHING. Handling is up to the driver if he decides to yank the wheel out of the way before he smashes into a tree.
