Overview & Reviews

A revised 4.2-liter V8 powers the 2007 Audi A8. Utilizing direct fuel injection, it makes 350 horsepower. (Last year's engine made 335 hp.) There are also some audio system updates for 2007, including MP3 capability for the CD player, the introduction of an optional Bang & Olufsen audio system and standard satellite radio for the W12. Other A8 updates include a new 20-inch optional wheel design that's been expanded to the 4.2 model, a standard rearview camera for the W12 and, later in the model year, optional iPod integration capability.

• Beautifully designed and spacious cabin, superb driving dynamics, standard all-wheel drive.

• All-important prestige factor still not equal to chief rivals.

  2007 Audi A8L 4.2L Quattro - 2007 Audi A8
  By MotorStreet - March 8 - 4:50 pm

  The A8 never fails to amaze us. On a recent vacation we drove 700 miles north and on the way the kids never asked "Are we there yet?" once. The car is so relaxing to travel in and makes any journey comfortable. The gas mileage is equally impressive, on our vacation we averaged 28 mpg and drove most of the way at 80 mph. The 350hp direct injection 4.2L V8 has immediate power and even more refinement. The MMI is easy to use and just makes sense. We looked at the Lexus LS460, but it felt big, heavy, and was worse to drive than the old LS430 the Lexus had too many features and had millions of buttons. The 2007 BMW 750i had the stupid I-drive and the S550 was too expensive. The A8 is brilliant.

  Excellent car - 2007 Audi A8
  By driver - March 31 - 7:46 pm

  Ive owned a 1979 5000S and a 2002 A4 1.8T, among other makes/models. This car is truly "the ultimate driving machine" bar none (sorry BMW). Ive blown away many wanna-bes in BMWs from 3-series up to the 7-series on both highway and backroads with this baby and its never misbehaved or thrown me a surprise. Incredible power, positive steering, and an amazing ride.

  The perfect luxury car! - 2007 Audi A8
  By F1 Man - March 28 - 9:01 pm

  This car represents the perfect blend between luxury accomodations and sporty performance. While other luxury cars (S550, BMW750 & lS460)seem to be good in some areas and weak in others, the A8 is excellent in every single area and weak in none. The ride is superb, design flawless and the handling is simply amazing, extremely nimble for a large car. The attention to detail is impeccable everywhere you look and the ergonomics is simply fantastic. The interior will put "anything" south of 200K to shame. These days I find myself running more errands. I wonder why..

  4th and best Audi - 2007 Audi A8
  By Capt John - December 24 - 11:00 am

  My black on black A8L is built like a bank vault, is quiet except when accelerating, when it has a nice little throaty tone. Ive had an A6 2.7 which was fun still have an A6 4.2, (2002) which is still solid and fun to drive. I had a 2006 A8L, which was great, but the 07 car is even better. It is understated, sumptuous, quick, and solid. Everything one could want.

  Luxury without flaunting your wealth. - 2007 Audi A8
  By DLBoston - July 23 - 12:22 pm

  I have owned Jags, Mercs, BMW, and Cadillacs and they all have their outstanding features. The regal look of the Jag, the comfort of the Merc and the Cadis smooth ride. The Audi L W12 (my first) took the best features of luxury automobiles in its class and built a car that has lived up to my expectations. Yes the car has a six figure price tag fully loaded however the car delivers on all its promises and gives the driver a senseof royalty without being to flashy. Would it be fair to say that I am an Audi man for life? YES!!

  A Great Car - 2007 Audi A8
  By TDL - June 1 - 11:41 pm

  This is my third Audi, and I find them to be a superb balance between a luxury and sporty design philosophy. The vehicle feels like a smaller, more nimble vehicle, but has more room than practically anything else in this segment. The interior design and fit and finish are best in class. The S8 variant is an attractive alternative, but we also had a sporty car in the garage, and decided to go with the long wheel base and the extra rear leg room which precludes the S8 package. But, I also feel the extra length gives the car a more flowing appearance in the side view. Fuel economy is what you expect in this class, and when considering the performance (and the way I drive), it is rather good.

  Perfect - 2007 Audi A8
  By huntin - March 5 - 11:16 am

  This car drives like a sports car and has the luxury you wish was in other sports cars. It has great speed and acceleration and can turn with ease. The leather seats are just fantastic for comfort.

  What can be finer? - 2007 Audi A8
  By Carl R - February 8 - 9:01 pm

  I love this car! After driving a Jaguar for 3 years I was able to see the difference with my first test drive. This car is wonderful. The fit and finish is second to none. The drive is terrific and the quality of the leather and wood cannot be matched, other then perhaps a Rolls Royce. The power is great and the looks equate to understated elegence. Every two or three years I purchase or lease a different type of luxury vehicle. I truly believe from now on I will always purchase an Audi. Its a great car!

  Excellent Touring Car - 2007 Audi A8
  By bigdognc - February 1 - 8:40 pm

  The Audi A8L is the perfect vehicle for me. I drive about 50k miles per year between North Carolina and northern VA/DC and it can get very tiring in the wrong kind of car. The Audi is fun to drive and is very quiet and comfortable. The quattro drive is great when there are some icy conditions on the VA highways. The bluetooth connection with my phone works superbly and keeps my attention on the road while driving. The rear camera and front and rear parking sensors are very handy when parking and backing out of crowded parking garages. The rear seat area is very spacious and will seat 3. The rear leg and shoulder room is unbelievable. I can easily fit my 2 biggest clients back there.
