Audi A8 V6 is GreatOnce awake, there are few hints that the big V8 is purring away down below, as the cabin remains whisper quiet. Our first indication that we were even moving was the audible chimes from our test car's optional front and rear parking sensors. These electronic crutches are often more annoying than helpful, but between the A8's considerable length and the poor rearward visibility caused by the steeply raked window and small side mirrors, this option seems almost indispensable.Once clear of all bumper-disfiguring obstacles, the A8 starts to feel quite a bit smaller thanks to variable rate steering and the newfound power of its 4.2-liter V8. Although no bigger in displacement than last year's engine, it's now rated at 330 horsepower, an additional 20 horses over the previous version. A new six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission channels the power to all four wheels via the standard quattro all-wheel-drive system. Read more about the A8 by Audi |
