The 2008 Audi A8 is the German automaker's full-size flagship sedan. The A8's spacious interior displays what European luxury buyers have come to expect from this roomy top-of the line Audi sedan.
For those in need of even more cabin space, the A8 is also available as a long wheelbase model.
Need more power, too? Try the muscular Audi S8 that sports a W12 engine built from two narrow angle V6 engines. The W12 delivers 450 horsepower and is the same engine used in the Bentley Continental GT.
The A8's base engine is a 350 horsepower 4.2 liter V8. Both engines send power to Quattro all wheel drive through a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Mileage among the 3 engines range from 13 miles per gallon city to 23 miles per gallon highway.
While the exterior styling has been slightly freshened for 2008, interior innovations continue to be added to the A8 and S8. One such feature is Audi's Multi-Media Interface or MMI. This system can control ride dynamics, entertainment features, and navigation, all through the dash-mounted touch-screen LCD screen.
Base MSRP for the 2008 A8 is $70,690, while a fully loaded S8 will top out at around $140,000.
Those seeking a full-size luxury sedan that offers no shortage of power and performance plus plenty of room in the cabin should experience the 2008 Audi A8 and S8.
