Automotive Rhythms - 2007 Audi S8 Test Drive: Live From Vegas!

The roads are changing patterns as rapidly as a fearful chameleon. Swift right -- slight elevation -- swift left. Audi's legendary quattro all-wheel drive system allows the vehicle to grapple the surface as if it was on rails. Here comes an open straightaway. I hit the accelerator harder than Roger Federer hits tennis balls and in a few seconds my transport and I, the 2007 Audi S8, are moving at a torrid pace. Call me prejudiced, call me biased, call me whatever. Yet, when design persists over performance, and performance consists of a V10, quattro, 20" athletic rubber, and powerful brakes, then you have no choice but to be prejudiced towards Audi and their exemplary stable of "S" cars. Welcome to Las Vegas!
