Probably nothing better.



Aluminium is much stronger than steel. No wonder Lamborghini , Ferrari and many other top car makers are using it for their sportscars.

D3 A8 was the most rigid car in it's class when presented a few years ago ,leaving 7 series and S class far behind. I don't know if the new S class have managed to match it though.
I was just waiting for you to say something like this Yannis. Once again no one can dare question Audi.

A 10 year S-Class would have been the W140 model, a tank on wheels if there ever was one. Who knows what it would have done, but I'd bet on that particular S before I would an Audi.

BMW, well they still haven't fully maxed out on safety yet, so the previous 7 I wouldn't bet on against the Audi.
