Thank you for sharing!

The A8 trashed all of the others..haha. What a great win.

Is that XJ standing still in the start..?

Ahh...feels good to be an Audi fan nowadays.

audi owns in the rain, but interestingly they have the pre-facelift 7series against the new ls and despite having less power still beats it. german cars own.

Re: Best motoring: A8 vs. 745 vs LS460 vs. XJ-R

I really look forward to watching this video and I will do so in about 5 minutes, it's not often you get to see executive luxury saloon's around a track


EDIT: Just watched the video, good performance by the LS460, i'm surprised it beat the XJR on this track and perhaps on a timed lap time on the Hockenheim the XJR would have killed the LS460..but i'm still happy for it

The Japanese do these interesting videos which are always so fun to watch.

Quattro takes the cake here.

Re: Best motoring: A8 vs. 745 vs LS460 vs. XJ-R

It's a great video to watch but it's a pity they didn't have an S-Class nor a facelifted 750i to use.

It's no question this is Audi's territory. I wonder how the Phaeton would do, being another big luxury AWD.
