    My dad had one of these, the pre-facelift 3.0 TDI, brought it from the UK to Switzerland. That was one hell of a car, I'd say even better than the successor which we currently own. Thanks for bringing back some memories.

    4.2L V8 Audi
    Knowing what the timing chain looks like on those, absolute respect to the owner and condolences to his wallet. 234k and it looks brand new, truly a time capsule!
    You bring a good point. The fact that the screen can hide itself, there are no warnings, no blinks, no beeps, tells me that car manufacturers prioritized absolutely zero distractions from you driving and looking at the road, connecting with the car.
    P.S. When are we having you for the next transporter movie?
    - "We're making everyone drive EV's"
    - "Not through my 4.2L Naturally Aspirated A8L with wood!"

    It still remains one of the best cars that we ever had by far margin.

    A few updates and it’s mint!
    The “old” looks are just down to the wheels. My friend has a black pre-fl with R8 20”, a touch of spacers, and it looks amazing 😚
    Interior-wise, the steering wheel with the round airbag is much better, it is heated, paddle shift, all that.
    Bang&Olufsen makes it more modern, and there are also darker wooden trims that are not orange.
    You can also buy a carplay module that works like stock, and preserves all of the MMI functions.
    Speaking of kit, you could get the radar cruise control that could stop the car and bring it up to speed again, and in the last years of its production, you could even get 360 camera, blind spot radars, lane keep assist, although I think it only warned you with vibration, and didn’t affect the wheel.
    All in all, an amazing cruiser, that will wow you and your passengers, for used Škoda Superb money.

      Really impressive whats possible just with a bit attention paid while every day driving. The other thing i want to mention is, yeah progress in some ways are not that much as you mentioned. Its rather a 'small evolution' while the time from 1990-2008 (more or less) seemed like a revolution. At least i feel that way. I mean the A8 still looks modern to me.

    Those launch just perfect from a dig, incredible for a limo of that size. Rolling they're nothing to talk about, but the engine sounds great and there's no lag, just beautiful. 4.2Dieasel is super laggy and very unpleasant to drive in city. Funny thing is that 4,2FSI motor has virtually zero lag compared to even RS6 or something in that lane :)
