To my eyes, the design of the new A8 is pretty excellent. It is sleek, but has a presence on the road with it's long wheel base. To this day, I am still wondering why Audi recycled the old design of the 2017 A4 headlights for it's flagship model. They could've gone with something more updated and futuristic (like the new A7 line up)
After owning several M3’s, among other German sport sedans. I think out on public roads and being realistic in how often you can truly fly around corners and really push your car (which is a very small percentage of the time) without losing your license. This is probably the best all around choice.
3.7 seconds in a large luxury limo like this is insane. That 4.0L V8 is honestly close to RS levels of performance for just an S model. You wouldn't know that it has this kind of performance just by looking at the outside honestly.
I'd pick this car over any S class or BMW 7 series as a chauffer car, Always loved this as a dream daily driver :) Cheers Miles for always providing the best quality car videos sooo frequently
@@opachki8325 no issue in asking dude! i've always just liked the look and power of it over 7 series at least and audi is a really good brand in my eyes! but the new s class is phenomal
@@ZachValentini I've been in all 3 of them already and find touch only to be too distracting. That's why I dislike both A8 and especially the S-class with its horrendous touchpads on the steering wheel. Imho the new 7 series is the best car of all because it's actually properly usable driving wise. The big screen is cool aswell.
Picking up a used 2021 A8 L 4.0 from an older dude that can’t drive anymore. Only 20k miles on the clock, extended 10 year warranty, fully loaded except the rear console/foot massager package, full ceramic coating and tints, and a price tag for $60k out the door. I can’t sleep with how excited I am! Tuesday, please come quick lol.
Can't wait to see what they do with the next generation to compete with the new S class and 7 series. Personally I still think this looks the best out of the three.
Ya know Miles, I sometimes think Audi S8 owners keep their speeding tickets visible as badges of honor, otherwise who'd believe their high-octane stories? 👍👍
Really like this car ! It just needs some window tint and the exterior is perfect for me : luxurious, sporty and subtle ! But yes the piano black on the center console will scratch and get dirty very easily
I'm really waiting for them to replace the touch buttons and touchscreen climate controls with the physical ones from the E-tron and new A3/S3. Its a triumph of, well, commonsense that a major automaker has returned to physical controls after half a decade in this day & age.
@Pata T1ta There barely is any difference in value between the Euro and Dollar nowadays. So that would mean that it would still be much cheaper in the states than in Germany
Car looks amazing but for a new car that cost over 100 k $ or € i want a full spec car like sky is White and back windows are not tinted . P.S Live in Germany , in Germany is allowed to have back windows tinted "Privacy Glass" . Dont know how its in US
There's no S8L there's a A8L, but the Sis always the short wheel base. I wish they amde an S8L that would be great for a 6'4" 275lbs man with 6'4" and 6'8" 350lbs size 16 shoe son....lol
@@Birmingham_racing A fully loaded 718 boxter GTS, with all options possible would be around the same price, considering i already have a daily driver, if not, an Escalade diesel fully loaded as well. Thats what i would go for. What about you
Unfortunately, the most ignored car in the market
Shamefully so! This is one of the best kept secrets
I see this car all the time in St. Louis
I can't wait to get mine
What a comment 😂 no brain have this guy
That and the Chevy ss when it was around

Tbh the new A8 fascia looks futuristic than that of the '23 A7
The A8 always had softer angles, futuristic car designs are all sharp lines.
Felt that cargasm 😂😂
BRUH same
This Audi S8 sedan looks good in blue color.
Great job with your content as always Miles.
It's a stellar color, agreed. And thanks Jeremiah!

5,302 Lbs this car weighs. 3.7 0-60 is absolutely mad.
It managed to do a 0-60 sprint in 3.7s on a hilly road that's impressive it shows that the car can do better on a flat road
Impressive for comfortable luxury sedan
Prefacelift was faster and did 0-100 in 3.3s which is faster than RS6

Please give us an update .. Do ya love it ?
The road noise was very minimal thats impressive
I absolutely love when you do car POV’s at this specific area! I wish you would name it everytime you do one here! Where is this place??
Near Aston Martin Newport Beach. Crystal Cove/Newport Coast, California
A quiet and comfortable car that makes you feel sleepy
No cap
It's important to realize how amazing of a quality your videos are, taken on an iPhone even💯🙌🏽

And I bet those tickets are few and far between: most cops wouldn't believe how fast these cars are, so why would they give them a second glance?
2013 S8 here over 6 years ownership i can say you are right on point 😂
Years passing by and I keep catching myself watching another generation of s8. It is something to pursue for, but sadly most of us will never own one
That’s so cool. This car actually cruises so nicely
Real luxury
Really like this car ! It just needs some window tint and the exterior is perfect for me : luxurious, sporty and subtle ! But yes the piano black on the center console will scratch and get dirty very easily
Man, those rims fit the car best.
Love it!

This car is faster than a charger
It can go faster to 60, 3.7 is still absolutely insane for a vehicle this big
Lovely Video. Can you do the 2022 Mazda CX-30 next?
I did a no-talking POV of the CX-30 a ways back: ua-cam.com/video/nXu-Ojo4ozA/v-deo.html
My friend used to have the 2016 s8 even that was really quick
Nice video mate.
Enjoyed that.
All the best.👍
This car looks much more athletic than the 750i BMW.
Not sure which one is faster.
This is faster for sure
@@MilesPerHr The Audi is quiet. Very quiet. Almost no personality.
@@mji9208 i dont agree with u audi has personality
I’m really contemplating on getting one of these
Beautiful car.
It’s a masterpiece of a car but sad that’s so underrated 😢
Pretty much the same exact car as the Bentley CFS V8. You're literally just paying an extra 120K+ premium for the Bentley badge.
Love the fact you can drive around Newport Beach at 80 miles per hour and you are still being passed. 😉
That is pretty much all of southern California.
Love these. Shame this one is $135,000. I think I'll get a 2013 model for 12,000 instead.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!
$ 119k starting price are you sure? because it starts in Germany with $ 149k
@Pata T1ta Ok thank you.
@Pata T1ta There barely is any difference in value between the Euro and Dollar nowadays. So that would mean that it would still be much cheaper in the states than in Germany
$119K USD, yes
@@MilesPerHr Wow i have no words.
Try $300K AUD in Australia. $119K USD = $182,500 AUD. We get seriously ripped off by government taxes in Australia. 😢
What about the normal wheelbase version?
not gonna lie... beautiful car, but i hate thatf piano black everywhere...
Wish it was available as a short (regular) wheelbase I just find it awkwardly long looking.

You’re supposed to very gently open the door handles because they’re electric release
But I've got places to be!
Audi S models are such sleepers. They are, frankly, boring looking from the outside. But they are properly fast for a mid-tier performance model.
15:59 I choked on my lunch😂
man i wonder why i prefer the 2013-15 looks

How does it compare to the Bentley Flying Spur V8?
The Flying Spur's interior feels much more expensive, but the driving experience is VERY similar
Thanks
Great video :)

I'm not sure Audi makes the S8 in the L wheelbase... So it's just an S8
that class shouldnt have carbon plastics on the inside... its enough with the insane amount of piano black in the dash, should be wood :(

No talking bro
