For the last few years Audi has been heavily investing in technology in an attempt to keep up with its major rivals, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. This new 2005 Audi A8 L 4.2L quattro, company’s flagship automobile, clearly states that they have not only established themselves on equal terms but managed to surpass them in some areas.

Each model of 2005 A8 is a fine example of class and luxury. Everything you see and touch is of the highest quality. Comfortable leather seats are 16-way adjustable and a special memory feature will keep the settings for four different drivers. The A8 L has a 5.1 inches longer wheelbase (which is its only difference from a standard A8) and inside this car this extra space is transferred entirely into increasing rear legroom.

Audi’s Multi Media Interface (MMI) is designed to minimize the distraction, therefore its menu structure is shallower than BMW’s iDrive. It consolidates most of the interior functions into one control centre, which means lots of options without filling the dash with lots of buttons.

On the road the2005 Audi A8 L 4.2L quattro gives the most amazing and enjoyable performance. It can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds, which is pretty impressive given its size and weight. A six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission can be changed into a manually controlled mode, which is not really necessary since the response is excellent in the automatic mode.

Be it a highway or a tricky mountain pass, the A8 is guaranteed to be a powerful, thrilling and fun drive.

The new long wheelbase A8 is priced at $68,500.
