Thank you for uploading that! As a german, I often wonder, why the Audi A8/S8 of that generation is seemingly unknown in America. In Europe they have a reputation of being reliable, especially the diesel engines.
Hmm!...the Audi A8/S8 of that generation was too understated for Americans, most were unfamiliar with the brand, plus the Audi unintended acceleration/operator error fiasco didn't help matters. Also, we don't have the TUV here in the states. Americans are very lazy when it comes to preventive maintenance, the Japanese carmakers capitalized on this! We are a follower society, if your neighbor buys a Mercedes...you buy one, if they get a BMW!....you get the pitcure!
@@a.c.6475 Thanks for the explanation 👍 I mean, you guys also had the chance to buy lincolns and cadillacs, would love to see those brands here, for a change☺️
@@ubiased23 No way this could be true. If Audi‘s have problems, Audi will never admit they do until you go to the court. BMWs have many electronic issues and cannot be solved because the factory just doesn’t have solutions. Mercedes‘ issues are well known everywhere and also their solutions.
I had a sedan s4 years back in grey. Previous owner threw alot of money on the engine (larger intercoolers/injectors/intakes/exhaust/hybrid turbos), I loved that car, that thing was such a sleeper.
Timeless design on that S8
Audi used to make beautiful cars
First time seeing the S8… in the movie Ronin.
Wow that S4 really crouched off the line on the 0-60 run. The B5 always had very supple suspension, I love that

Audi it is rated as the most reliable German brand comparing to BMW and Mercedes.

This Audi A8/S8 model had reached an Automobile Pinnacle in many ways.
best luxury sedan in 2001!
*Thanks again for these.* 👍
This was when the A8/S8 was gorgeous.
Ronin vibes

Denny's also reduce power in first gear like the Saab and the Volvos?
Как можно найти audi a8
Again.. It's b5 not b6 and it has v6 engine not a v8.
