Audi A8’s New Look


When the movie “Iron Man” hits theaters this coming 2008 we will be seeing Audi's latest creation -- the R8, which will be playing the role of the superhero’s official car.

Before that happens however, let us review the new enhancements done on the 2008 Audi A8. Audi has finally unveiled the A8 and revealed the new features, designs and trimmings of the new car in their official website. And just as we were having our fill of the the new car, Kicking Tires also announced the specifications as well as the prices of the Audi A8.

According to the Kicking Tires, the German automaker gave the A8 major enhancements. We haven’t tried driving the new German car but the most interesting part of it is that a new enhanced steering is given to boost the driver’s performance building a sportier image to the new Audi A8. But that's not all. The new car also gets more power on suspension as well as enhancements in its sound-deadening features.

More upgrades like a new engine, as well as a direct-injection six-cylinder which will also boost its mileage to a 0-62 mph in 8 seconds. The new engine is currently wearing the price tag of $68,900. With a cheaper value, we just hope that it would make a huge sale in the US. Most of the buyers of four-door cars in the car market are looking for V8 engine that gives fuel efficiency even if hybrid cars are hot this time.

The new car will be sporting the V8 engine on a high performance W12 S8 models which will all be seen this coming 2008.
