Pics: Blue RS6 Avant and A8 and S4

[Erik]

A few pictures from the testdrive of the new Audi A8 4.2 including a visit of the mighty RS6 and S4 V8.

Which one would I rather have? The RS6 of course!
Remember - how strange it may sound they're all V8's.

Erik,

Thanks for the pictures.

:cheers:

The A8 definitely tosses the E65 7'er styling into a hat. :D

[krm]

As usual, some great pics, Erik. How did the A8 feel?

[Erik]

My impressions of the A8. I'm still to young for this type of car!
Even though you read it behaves like a small car the RS6 and S4 feels much more agile. We drove the RS6 and S4 in the same circuit as the A8 and they are just som uch better. The S4 feels like a car you can toss around where ever you like.

But it is not a bad car at all. It behaves nice and is fast enough for most people. What surprised me most was that the seats are very high. I'm 1.86 meters and had problems with the height!

The MMI is impressive. I hope the new A6 gets something similar.
