   When the 2011 Audi A8 came ashore earlier this year, it brought with it not only a well needed update for the next decade, but also established a less distracting interaction between man and his machine. Coming from a tech standpoint, we think Audi does tech right. The A8 isn’t just another car with a laundry list full of standard and optional features, it’s a car that outfits the tech in a way so elegantly that the driving experience stays top priority. Driving an A8 is something that everyone can enjoy; the balance between sport and luxury is perfect. A younger person such as myself can easily enjoy the 372 hp 4.2-liter V8, and the 328 lb-ft of torque in the back roads. And those with a greater annum can enjoy the ride provided by the iron clouds and deadly silent chassis. No matter who you are, you can’t help but appreciate all the small things that make this an Audi. Behind the wheel, everything feels tight and strong. Just press any of the multifunction steering wheel buttons and it returns a very strapping click. Why should you care about the sound the button makes? Let me put it this way, if someone can put that much thought into one single button, then think how the rest of the car is treated. Like the new 8-speed transmission, it is the most amazing auto we have ever experienced. It is flawless. And it helps the A8 achieve an amazing 17/27 miles per gallon. Real world numbers—an aggressive real world—were about 22 mpg. It could also be that at 80 mph on the highway the RPMs are at a stalling 1500. It just is pure Bavarian cream. There are different driving modes available on the A8. We’ve heard of them before, modes like comfort and dynamic.
