Can carwow consider doing pop-up figures for the guys who prefer the metric system whenever fuel efficiency figures or distances are shown in miles or gallons. It would be great to see kilometers and litres for those of us who grew up using that system.

This isn’t a metric v imperial “hate” comment, but I do find the metric fuel efficiency measure somewhat strange. Distance that a given volume of fuel will deliver (e.g. miles per gallon) is much more intuitive and useful than how much volume of fuel will be used in a given distance (e.g. km per litre).

@nicktune1219

2 жыл бұрын

@@MKRM27 it's actually less intuitive, especially trying to figure out how much fuel you're using. The percentage difference in fuel usage between 18 and 19 mpg is far higher than between 34 and 35 mpg. So a 1 mpg increase can be a lot or a little. While l/100km gives you the exact amount of fuel you're using. Even fleets in the United States use gallons/100mi as a unit of fuel efficiency when calculating fuel usage for the EPA. It comes back to the question would you rather have 1 car that runs on 10 mpg and 3 cars that run on 35 mpg, or 4 cars that run on 20 mpg. If you convert to gal/100mi you would find out that less fuel is used with 4 cars running 20 mpg.

Idk if you can feel it inside the car, but for an outside observer it's striking AF. It was almost like i was watching the BOSE suspension video from 15 years ago.

A8 definitely. 7 series is becoming too crazy designing. Not subtle anymore like the old 7 series. A8 has kept that conservative and conceptual design. Keep it up Audi!

Well Matt, we have enough imperfect roads in Germany, but not in the area you tested the Audi. It’s due to the last centuries all the traffic ministers were from Bavaria, and guess which part of Germany has been preferred when it came to road upgrades… next time i recommend the area Hunsrück, Eifel, Westerwald. Also pretty good areas to test the shock absorbers of SUVs.

seeing mat driving around my hometown is 💥 tell me next time first round is on me 😄

Soft limiters are in place because of emissions testing during an inspection (such as mot in the UK). In some countries for example, it is required for cars to be tested at full throttle. Companies are circumventing that by installing soft limiters since the car only has to be at full throttle, revs aren't mentioned.

In UK many versions of different cars are not sold because of the right hand drive steering wheel. In terms of production it requires a different production line for right hand steering wheel. If UK will change and put left steering wheel like the majority of the world you will not have to bear the limitations.

Well for the Audi S8 (which was in this video even though you called it an A8 half the time), I think is very well put together car. I like the driver's screen better then the other 2 big German car brands. It is far more functional than a Mercedes or BMW. I don't think this facelift moves the needle for me, but I would take this over a S-class or even the BMW M760i. It just barely edges out the M760i, but I do like the S8 better for large luxury sedans!!
