The A8’s blend of performance, comfort and serenity are wedded to a beautifully built, practical and well-equipped interior. In fact, by a whisker, it beats the Mercedes S-Class, which shows just how good to drive and be driven in the A8 is.

As its name suggests, Black Edition trim brings lots of black exterior detailing. However, you also get 10 rather than five-spoke alloy wheels, carbon fibre interior trim and a black roof lining.

The high-performance S8, with a 563bhp 4.0-litre V8 petrol, is blisteringly quick and has traction aplenty with standard four-wheel drive.
