@@lowrider69yearsago58 my dads volvo had white seats and its just so much nicer. I feel like white interior is just so much better than dark, it lifts the atmosphere up. BUT, question for u guys, white or dark red like the bmw?
BMW seats are by far the top. Just to add Best gearbox on the planet is BMW zf structure. Much more reliable and comfort than any DSG and CVT gearbox. That is why when you drive a BMW you feel there is something better in that shit. And of course there are many factors contributing an opinion but I have a feeling BMW is the word best in terms of engine, consumption, comfort, materials( just need to use less plastic and rearrange it with carbon and Kevlar, ). BMW is a combination pack. Audi not, same for all VW group and Mercedes that always something is missing.
there's one thing you guys are lacking, night drive experience! the headlights look amazing but there's different tech inside, and it's a really important factor to take into consideration
Love the A8. Doesn't scream money, smooth as ever, and does all the stuff you expect a car to do at that price point. And does it really really well. The S-CLass is a head turner and has a lot more going on with it. Screams money for sure. BMW on the other hand is more driver-focused. I mean I'd be confused if I'll want to drive it or be driven. Same for the Jaguar XJL. As for my taste, the A8 sort of is the sweet spot. I'd buy that.
Guys, you are getting better by every video you make. The review is comprehensive and contains a lot of information. Great review. Keep up the good work!
I think the Audi grill works. For me it's the most attractive element because overall it's kind of a boring design. I generally love their design language though, and think most of their line-up looks great.
@@2004cyrus I agree. That's why I appreciate Audi's design language. It's understated, but looks clean, modern, and distinct. Good proportions, well-placed lines.
I love watching your show! As a fellow Candian living abroad, I challenge you to test these cars on the Autobahn? You have to get either of these puppies above 160 kmph to even appreciate them. It's a whole new level of respect! These cars will not disappoint you at 250, they drive like butter.
You can't seriously expect them to be able to go to Germany and get *Euro* press cars (which will have some differences compared to their CA+US counterparts) every time they want to review a luxury sedan, do you? In the US & Canada, the only way to get an Autobahn-like experience would be to: a) Be on very good terms with local officials + Police force and get them to shut down a segment of some road for a short length of time on a certain day ahead of time (which is hard for anything short of a large/old company to do, and probably costs some money to boot) or, b) risk losing their ability to get a press car forever (at least from whoever loaned them these) by *severely* breaking the speed limit on some local road with lots of long straightaways, and then using vague wording (to avoid admitting to committing a crime on camera) to explain the way they feel in a scenario that is not legally possible to experience just about anywhere on the NA continent. I'm sure these are great for the Autobahn, but just stick to recommending the experience to them if they get a chance. Shouldn't have taken much thought to realize that it's unreasonable to *challenge* them to do such a thing on the channel...
Yep, i have driven a 730d, and it had about half of the power of this car, and it squatted pretty well when i floored it. Looks very cool, and feels very cool. Air suspension in the rear you know.
“It feels like a yacht, the front end comes up like a speed boat!” - TH. Love it, I feel like ‘we’ are the lucky ones it have you guys take us with you on your awesome reviews. Thanks Throttle House!
Black on black interiors have a really tough time looking luxurious except when it's in a Rolls Royce. A white or gray color would have reflected the modernity and minimalism inside the A8 very well. The BMW's brown is also gorgeous.
Love your channel, and this is a great comparison set. Both are super cars but should I pick one, I will pick the A8... for styling. Thank for the video.
7 Series all the way. Love the grill. Love the interior. Love the rear lights. Entertainment screen up high (The correct place). My dream car. In black with blacked out grill.
Love that BMW. Absolutely love that engine growl. Sublime. The BMW grille would have been better, had they not allowed the headlights to run straight into it.
Love my A8L 4.2 rocking 430HP. they forgot the Audi safety feature. If another vehicle is about to hit you straight on the side. The Audi in real time will automatically lift up 5 inches to help save your life and create less damage. Cool stuff. Mine 121k price tag and paid off! Doesn't hurt being a Paramedic-Firefighter Captain in Los Angeles, ca. $$$$$
The earlier models with smaller grills look quite good, but the brand new models have oversized grills, which just looks hideous and completely out of place
My last audi was A8 2013 & I loved it, I changed to a 2015 Bmw 740Li, I enjoyed the Audi interior & seating much better.. Now the new seating in the BMW is amazing & I enjoyed the drive, will continue with BMW 7 series.
"There's even a fun mini-game in head up display. I don't know how to play it, but just know that some guy named Max has the high score of 60, and I've already beaten that." Priceless
Love that intro! Also, who down votes this?!? Do these people hate life too? Plus that BMW grill is hideous beyond measure. It's a non-starter for me if I were in the market for something like this.
Currently we have a 2016 A8 4.2 tdi V8 and a 2018 M760li. Previously I had the 2016 740Ld. All cars are absolutely brilliant to drive, in comfort plus there isn’t really much to separate them apart from the 760 performance. Performance wise the 740 didn’t feel any slower than the A8 but was more dynamic to drive quickly on UK roads and for everyday driving in town, whereas the A8 just seemed to labour a bit more and required more effort. Diesels are better in town than the 760 due to fuel consumption of

For Luxury, people look for Mercedes For Aggressive Power , People look for BMW (British Police usually use BMW) So.... Where is Audi position then =]]]
Honestly I think most Ameircans who no nothing about cars will find these any different than any other car in their respective lineup. All luxury cars look the same in the brands they belong too.
I live in Toronto and I don't really see many 7 Series cars on the road. When I do see a 7 Series I see the old E65/66 which surprises me because that model is the most unrealiabke BMW ever made!!

Ha! The classical music in the background makes this wonderful. I felt like i was IN THE CAR. So relaxing. And I just saved $100,000 by not buying one. (great video guys)
It’d be a lot better if you guys had two comparable cars as in with the same options. Te beemer deft takes this one but I would have like to see the S8 option out.

100% agree
“They wanted as few knobs in here as possible so before you came in, there was just the volume knob” 😂 good genuine laughs with TH videos
Funny, I've always associated Audi with knobs, mostly in the drivers seat :D
genius lmao
LOL
at 7:22, this is the one of the most clever jokes I've heard! Absolutely brilliant haha
10:48 is even better
6:16 " 3. 1 inches , that's more than any man needs"
the best one of the video is the one with 'one knob on' before;-)
Lmao I just understood that
Who cares it does not have QUATTRO!

Wtf, have you seen the front of the BMW lifting up when he floored the gas? Damn
dude the bmw v8´s are insane.. this 7 series can reach 310kmh and puts some sports cars to shame on the autobahn accelerating from 100-300!

That thing squats like a 1970's Lincoln. Yeah it's got power but it's very un-BMW. They've gone full luxury here.
4:45 just a beautiful thing to look at
haha stupid its synthetic suspension designed by bmw just like they did with the exhaust note in the M4
It’s kinda unfair bcos the Audi has V6 and BMW has V8, would love to see both cars with the V8 version. But overall I’m gonna go with Audi 😉

That walk to the back at 5:20 is legend
The 7 is just a facelift. Very important when talking about the interior
dopened facelift you mean horrible nose job
Doesn't matter, it's not as if BMW drastically changes interiors.
@@midifire Not drastically but way bigger screen, cleaner look, nicer lighting etc. The A8 has too many screens imo
even with new models, BMW interiors already look dated
@Κώστας / Kosta matter of opinion... I find BMW the worst of the 3
Your review was equally as luxurious as the cars that you both reviewed. Well done!
A time traveler just confirmed by 2030, all German cars will oy be a grill.
People mock the grille but it actually looks very good on the road. Aggressive but elegant at the same time.
Ah, I thought I was the only one thinking that
Great video, always fun to watch
nice new intro, a nice switch
congratulations on 200k subs :)
keep the videos coming, love watching them!
This was biased. 7 series might look nice. But that A8 ticks all the boxes.
a8 looks like a4
Tashun Kosapa it doesn’t actually. The grill, the rear, the lights etc are way different
@@raghuveer4552 im a big fan of audi a8 previous generation, but this one...this one is pure shit
its not really about ticking boxes in the luxury department. it's all about the feeling

Sick cars. Top banter. Great video 👍
Great episode of Thortle Horse.
Black on black interiors have a really tough time looking luxurious except when it's in a Rolls Royce. A white or gray color would have reflected the modernity and minimalism inside the A8 very well. The BMW's brown is also gorgeous.
The most literal and honest “in a second” ever. Throttle house is the best 💯

you need to test drive that 760 Li... Omg.. the smooth "butteriness" of that v12 makes the v8 feel like a diesel 4 cylinder...
