Audi A8
If you prefer luxury and discretion, the Audi A8 might interest you. However, you will need good financial resources because the A8 sedan with aluminium body is not cheap… With a Quattro all-wheel drive system and its 350 horsepower V8 engine, it offers a good balance between performance and handling. With the imminent arrival of a new model in 2010, the W12 engine and S8 versions have been discontinued.
