All these M Performance accessories but no devout M model? Damn.
The V12 just seems a bit outdated, I wish the best engine would be a twin turbo V8 S63 or even a new V10 (yeah, Im dreaming...)

The Carbon Core incorporates the pillars,roof structure and certain points of the chassis which is known as weight load bearing areas. In other words the heaviest points of a car body structure.

Superior to S Class, but we have to see what Audi brings with the next A8. VAG Group is powerful these days even with the diesel emissions scandal!

What a coincidence! I just saw one on the road for the first time today.
I really liked the way it looked. The headlights and front fascia definitely give it a sportier look than previous 7ers.
