The A8 is Audi's flagship premium sedan. It possesses the company's most sophisticated technology as well as its most luxurious trappings. The A8's subtle, but exquisitely detailed exterior styling is countered by an interior so opulent it almost makes riding in the rear seat preferable to sitting behind the steering wheel. Wrapped in an aluminum body, powered by a choice of V8 or W12 engines and styled in the new Audi aesthetic, the A8 is well-equipped to do battle with such competitors as the BMW 7 Series, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Jaguar XJ. Each of these rivals has its own strengths, and the A8's unique blend of power, performance, luxury and all-wheel-drive technology gives it the credentials to go toe-to-toe with any of them.
