2011 Audi A8 and A8L







The 2011 Audi A8 is a $90,000 4 wheel drive, 4 (or 5) passenger four-door sedan. The car beats out the BMW 7 Series and certain Mercedes-Benz models. It has a 4.2 liter V8 that is capable of besting it's predecessor by 22 horsepower. You can even write your destination with your finger on an integrated touchpad situated between the two front seats.

But, the German Automaker is not satisfied enough, that's why they have just finished building the A8 L. This one is basicly a better version of the A8, but there is more to it. The car features the very modern headlights that the A8 also has. These are not optional while there are other cool lighting features; the car has an optional GLASS roof! It features a 12 Cylinder engine, but all ther other engines available for the A8 will also be the other choices. The base engine though produces 500 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The A8 is also faster than the A8, reaching 100 km/h from standstill in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h. To minimize weight, the manufacturer has reduced the engine to only 247 kilograms and the whole body is made of aluminum using the Audi Space Frame (ASF). This means that it weighs 40 percent less. Using cell phone contracts, the driver can access Google to get news, weather updates, and even Google Earth!
