Audi A8
In the next few months, the luxury—make that grand luxury—sedan will be transformed. In the meantime, the A8 is continuing on its merry way. The base version, equipped with a 333-horsepower V6, suits most people, but those wanting a little more can select a 450-horsepower, 4.0L V8. But why not fork out “a few” extra loonies and buy the S8? The accelerations of its 605-horsepower V8 are worth every penny.
