Review
The market for twelve cylinder executive sedans is not as crowded as it once was, but as the flagship for Audi, the A8 L W12 is everything you could ever need. Standard motivation comes from the same 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 found in other Audis, but for the discerning driver, there’s the 6.3-liter W12. 500 naturally aspirated horsepower and 463 pound-feet of torque are sent through an eight-speed automatic to the Quattro AWD system. 60 mph arrives in 4.4 seconds, but top speed is limited to 130 mph in the US. For only $137 ,900 you get a lightweight aluminum chassis along with a wood trimmed full length center console.
