Yes but Audi does not have a twin turboharged W12 version of an A8 like the S65

I really love it's looks, it's the only ultra-luxury sedan i'd choose over the LS 430.

IMO one of the nicest big-body sedans out there. I'd definitely choose this over an S55.

I'd take this over the S55, too Now if BMW built an ///M7 with a handbuilt, high revving >600 HP V12 (along the lines of the 507 HP V10 in the M5 & M6), I'd have to pick that...

Of course, BMW has said (read it once again in this month's Motor Trend or C&D) that it won't build M versions of vehicles that can't handle in the true spirit of an M-car, hence no M versions of the 7, X3, X5, or the forthcoming R-Class competitor.

Back on topic, I prefer the interior/exterior styling of the Audi anyhow, and having the Gallardo-derived engine is pretty nice, too

My goodness the A8 is plenty enough powerful for me, I'd hurt myself in that one.

To Audi.... And its nice to see a bunch of Lexus guys respect the beauty of that machine.

I think Audi is producing some beautiful machines and IMO have surpassed BMW and Benz.

Also, they make a gorgeous interior. This is good for us as better competition has to keep Lexus on their toes.

I can't imagine pulling up to one of these elegant and classy vehicles at the stoplight, and then hearing the snarl from the V10 as it takes off!!!!!!

Quote: with the V10 from the Gallardo, why cant they pump the engine to 500 hp, to meet face to face the cars from M and AMG, that is going above 500 hp...
I don't see where it needs any more power then it already has.....and I would take this car, hands-down, over either the M's or the AMG's. The Quattro AWD in this car, IMO, more than makes up for a few more horses in the competition. The only thing in this car I would b***h about is the MMI ( I-Drive ). Hopefully there are ways to circumvent it.
