The term state-of-the-art is used a little bit too much nowadays. But sometimes it really is the only term that fits.

There is no other way of describing the soon to arrive new Audi A8 than the best that the combination of the art of design and science of vehicle engineering can produce in a luxury motor vehicle.

Recently previewed to the world’s motoring press in Barcelona the new A8 has garnered the highest of praise from those who should be blasé about such things.

For example this is UK Top Gear Magazine raving about the car:

“Everything about the new Audi A8 is softly spoken. It doesn't so much drive down a motorway as ooze over it. The engine is muted hypnotic thrum, the new eight-speed gearbox flirting through the ratios like it's playing a musical scale. Wind noise is non-existent; road noise dropped to a barely-there hiss.”

Hardly surprising that excitement is starting to build already.

We will bring you more about the final Australian specifications closer to the local launch, which is scheduled for late this year. Until then why not whet your appetite with a look at the new A8 promotional footage here.
