What’s the Buzz with Audi 8 Luxury Sedan?
February 2, 2010The 2011 Audi 8 won’t be released until late 2010 but it has already generated a lot of buzz and excitement from car aficionados. The 2011 Audi 8 is the fourth generation in its class of luxury sedans. It has a 372 hp 4.2-liter V8 engine with eight speed transmission, and an all wheel drive. With a price tag of $75,000, this car is competing at the level of the BMW 7-series, Lexus LS460, Jaguar XJ/XJL, Mercedes Benz S-class, and the Maserati Quattroporte. In this class, it is deemed as the sportiest sedan as its design incorporates a low center of gravity and low roofline. These features were not compromised despite the extra two inches in length, width, and wheelbase.
