The 2022 Audi A8 is an executive level vehicle with a stately presentation, incredible performance and a high tech cabin. What happens when it goes up against the Porsche 911, a six figure super car with fantastic performance and almost infinite customization possibilities?
Design & Style
The Porsche 911 comes in three styles, which are a Coupe, Cabriolet and Targa. Each looks fantastic and the vehicle is capable of seating four passengers. The newest updates for the year include a revised infotainment system interface. The exterior is smooth and sleek with the iconic teardrop shape this model has become known for, while in the cabin passengers will be treated to comfortable leather seats. 5 cubic feet has been reserved for cargo.
The Audi A8 is a sedan which is full sized and capable of seating five passengers. It has a long and conservative exterior with elegant lines and inside the cabin passengers will be surrounded by carbon fiber, wood and polished aluminum trim. It also has adaptive dampers with standardized 4 corner based air suspension. This creates a smooth riding experience even when operating over tough terrain. It comes with two drive modes which are Dynamic and Comfort.
Technology & Safety
The Audi A8 comes with all the latest safety gear, such as adapted cruise control, the ability to recognize traffic signs automatically, emergency automated brakes, automated high beams, parking sensors, airbags and a camera with surround view. Comforts within its cabin include Valetta style leather upholstery, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof and an audio system from Bang & Olufsen.
The Porsche 911 is equipped with most of the safety features found in the Audi, including night vision, stability control, emergency automated brakes, activated lane control, blind area monitoring, and multiple drive modes which enable it to safely operate on multiple surfaces such as snow, ice and rain. Comforts within its cabin include keyless start, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, a Burmester sound system and climate control.
Performance
Those that purchase the Porsche 911 Turbo will get an engine that can generate 640 horsepower with the ability to blaze from zero to sixty in just 2.6 seconds, with a maximum 205 mph top speed. Those that purchase the Audi S8 will get a V8, 4 liter engine that can generate 563 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.8 seconds.
The Bottom Line
While the Audi A8 seats one extra passenger, the Porsche 911 has a distinctive performance edge. Additionally, the Porsche also has an advantage in fuel economy, especially when compared to the Audi A8 4.0 TFSI, which is a big deal in places with high gas prices, which makes the 911 the winner.
