The 2011 Audi A8 Super Luxury Cars. The automotive press loves the 2011 Audi A8’s good fuel economy, excellent suspension, standard Quattro all-wheel drive and opulent, tech-heavy interior. Many reviewers say that Audi offers some of the highest quality interiors available today, and as the company’s flagship the 2011 Audi A8 features the automaker’s best materials and available cabin tech. Audi’s MMI electronics interface has also garnered positive reviews. To match the A8’s grip, you’ll pay about $9,500 less for an all-wheel drive LS. The LS also can’t match the A8’s fuel economy. Additionally, the all-wheel drive 7-Series can’t match the A8’s fuel efficiency.
Active suspension, all-wheel-drive, and dynamic steering make it handle exceedingly well. The navigation system incorporates beautifully detailed 3D maps and next year will integrate with Google maps. The audio system delivers clean sound.
The bottom line: The 2011 Audi A8 is an exceptional luxury sedan, with top-of-the-line infotainment and driver assistance features and performance tech that makes it handle like a sports car.
The latest version of Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system includes, optionally, a rear differential that pushes torque from left to right. Audi keeps up with Mercedes-Benz and BMW by offering night vision. A luxury feature our vehicle did come equipped with was massaging front seats. During a demonstration, Audi showed us how satellite imagery from Google maps would fill in the navigation system's own maps, showing much more realistic detail of the car's surroundings. Putting the navigation system into destination entry mode, we were able to bypass Audi's inefficient rotary alphanumeric input and trace letters on the touch pad.
Audi also changed the main menus in the system--for navigation, phone, and audio--to an ellipse style.
The Audi A8 is the kind of car that could be chauffeur-driven--and Audi will most likely release a long wheelbase version, as it did with the previous generation--but we preferred sitting in the driver's seat, usually with the car set in Dynamic mode.
Audi fits the Audi A8 with its Drive Select system, which sets steering, suspension, throttle response, and transmission between Comfort, Automatic, Dynamic, and Individual modes.
