Audi S8. САМЫЙ БЫСТРЫЙ ПРЕДСТАВИТЕЛЬСКИЙ СЕДАН!

With the release of this car, the landscape of premium sedans changed forever. A brand long considered unimportant and forever overshadowed by Mercedes and BMW suddenly found itself on par with them—and on its own terms. In this episode, we explore the history of the Audi A8 and its sporty version, the S8: how Audi went from an underdog to a creator of prestigious jets. We'll discuss the revolutionary aluminum body, which is rust-resistant and weighs 40 percent less than steel, the unique W12 engine, the most powerful in its class, and the signature quattro all-wheel drive, unmatched by any direct competitor. We'll also recall the hot S8—the fastest executive sedan of its time—and its legendary role in the film "Ronin," featuring one of the best car chases in cinematic history. We'll also explain why the A8 was the choice of German chancellors and how it became part of the "Transporter" franchise. And most importantly, how it was precisely with its appearance that the concept of the German Big Three was born. Make yourself comfortable.
