Audi unveiled the curtain on its all-new flagship sedan, the 2011 A8 on Nov 30th, in Miami. The new sedan tops the brand�s range and looks to be solid rivalry for the newly redesigned BMW 7 Series and the aging Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It certainly stands out in the design department with an over exaggerated chrome grille, huge LED headlights and a back end fitting of “Blade Runner.”
It has many features including
- Full LED headlamps that adjust their direction and throw based on the navigation system.
- A new development of MMI that includes a handwriting recognition feature.
- An updated 4.2-liter FSI V8 engine with more power (372 horses) and
- An eight-speed Tiptronic gearbox.
Despite being more powerful, the A8 is also more fuel efficient, with an alleged expansion of 15 percent with the abovementioned gas V8.
