The Audi V8 Story |
|
The V8 is an almost forgotten luxury car from Audi’s late 1980’s line-up, like the Audi 200 before it. It’s easy to get it confused with the A8 that came after it – a car that drove Audi to new levels of opulence that allowed it to compete with the likes of BMW’s 7-series and Mercedes’ S-Class. But why was the V8 only in production for 5 years, and for such a short-lived car, was it a success?
