Much of the same on the outside but a whole new beginning inside: AUDI A8 2018

Does a change have to be something that is turned inside out, for some of us that feel like they need it can be but others who are almost perfect may just ask for a nose job...so when you think about Audi the third child in the German three-some under the Volkswagon bucket you would think of an up and coming powerhouse that benefits from an umbrella that includes the likes of Porshe, Lamborghini, Volkswagon, and Bentley. It's funny though that alot of the technology that has been flowing is from Audi out to the rest of its compadres.

Audi on a tear with it's A7, R8, A6, A5, and A4 designs they were all hits in the own right has gotten a little long in the tooth with its current conservative designs outside of the R8. The A8 flagship model was meant to showcase the evolution of the brand into a new hemisphere possibly a dash of Cadillac boldness wouldn't hurt the brand...so hold on Folks take a look at the new AUDI A8!!!!

Houston we have some problems here, well from the outside all I see is a nose job maybe some lipo to the backside. Well I guess its an Audi so it's near -perfect already, well if there are only slight changes than the price point shouldn't vary that much maybe come in a bit less on the payment scale....well let's see what we have tell me because I cannot see it (Volkswagon PASSAT LONG) 

• HD Matrix LED headlights 
• Laser Lighting 
• OLED Rear Tail Lights 

I want to just open this up and see what else has changed I mean I am slightly disappointed because the car reminds me of a stretched Passat. 

Oh no, I guess when they say the inside is what really matters is where I'll start with all the changes because this is truly the change. The inside reminds of you The Edition/W Hotels of Miami modern and truly a place to look at. I can see some of its cousin the Porshe Panamera in the design department but this has more of the open cabin feel. I guess if you took this up imagine new york city plucked down in aspen colorado with no nothing else around that is the A8's gift the ability to play multiple roles.  

President's of Dubai and China don't worry this car has all the flavors that a SPA can give and more especially in the rear back seat the ambient lighting reminds of you the S-Class, the reading lights and massage feet functions are some of the cream on top of that cake. The remote adds to the on my couch watching the 60 in so you would think that the autonomy would be rampant in this vehicle. Where your assertions serve you right as not only can two people make calls at once but up to 37mph the only thing you need to drive is hitting the start button. The autonomy in this car is truly groundbreaking and has beaten the mighty Tesla in my humble opinion 


The intelligent conversation you can have with your glass stained no knob controlled screen takes us to the future where virtual reality will be your interface but let's get to the PILOT DRIVING

When we say it drives itself this also means in deep rooted NEW YORK CITY traffic, get your phones out and type away or watch the ON BOARD TV further emphasizing the change of the living room. As mentioned once you hit 37+ miles per hour the autonomy reaches it's engineered limit and your hands need to re-engage. Parking as in BMW can be called upon automatically, don't want to sit in the car while it parks get out and watch the magic happen through your remote. 

To complete the audi the engine choices need not be highlighted as we know the engines are top in the world and there will be an electric gas hybrid offered. The car also benefits from all wheel driving system they call dynamic which is the same thing Porshe, Cadillac, and BMW have offered in concept but allows for much more grip through the turns. 

In all this is a car that changes from the inside, because in reality that's what really counts.
