2015 Audi A8 3.0 TDI (258hp) - DRIVE & SOUND (1080p)

This weekend I present to you the full Drive & Sound test with the recently facelifted 2014/2015 Audi A8 3.0 TDI Clean Diesel developing 258 hp and 580 Nm of torque over a wide powerband. In contrast to the A6/A7 that feature a 7-speed S-Tronic with this engine the A8 always comes standard with the great 8-Gear ZF transmission. We had this A8 for our 2.000 km road trip to the Geneva Motor Show and it was the perfect mate for a journey like that. The car is very quiet so you drive high speeds for a longer time without getting tired. Also the punch of the engine and the fuel consumption are very good. As you can see in the acceleration clip the transmission has fast gear changes and the car accelerates pretty decent to 200 km/h despite the weight of almost 2 tones. In comparison, a LCI BMW 740d is around 1.5 sec. faster to 200 km/h, but also having more horsepower (313) and a bit more torque (630). Please make sure to LIKE / COMMENT / SUBSCRIBE!

Why when you start it she stay at 900 rpm ? It is normal ? From what I know a 3.0tdi V6 need to stay at 800rpm idle
I want to buy an A8 from same year but I have that retention

[peterdonath]

Hat der Wagen dir im Vergleich zum 320 PS A7 genug Bums gehabt oder würde sich die 4, 2l V8 TDI Version lohnen? Vorrausgesetzt du hast diesen schon mal gefahren. ;)
Und wie ist der A8 von Lautstärke im Innenraum im Verlgeich zum 7er und der S-Klasse?
Schönes Video wie immer!

I like you and youre Videos because you test very nice, expensive, crazy new and fast cars. I want to buy a nice V8 Diesel car and my budget ist around 15.000€. Ive been looking for an Audi A8 4.0L or 4.2L of the year 2005-2007. Can you please tell me if the car ist good or not!? And if you had the same budget, which V8 Diesel car would you buy? And do you speak german?

i had this car for 4 years and then i started to have problems, i probably had a bum version.

[BARATTI]

You did an error... This is Audi A8 and not Mercedes C-Class ;)

[peterdonath]

in der Beschreibung steht dass der BMW mehr PS hat. Logisch!!!! Weil es ja auch der 740d und nicht der 730d ist. Dass der auch ein V6 ist lassen wir mal bei Seite. Aber logisch dass der mehr Kraft hat.

remove the engine, automatic transmission after 5 years....timing chain replacement...(

[Xside]

Also die Beschreibung müsst ihr nochmal überarbeiten..da stimmt was nicht

[markcleveland]

Can't get behind any car that depreciates as bad as this does all that tech and luxury to waist .. fancy junk..Lexus is where's it at.

Audi a8 have to be V8. Otherwise it is not A8

Is about time for Audi to change a bit the exterior design of their cars. The new Skoda Superb has better looks.
