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.
