A8 being subjected to a battery of tests

Beautiful behind-the-scenes images by photographer Sjoerd ten Kate— part of a greater Audi ad campaign.

We think it – the campaign – works (the photography is obviously stellar). In any event, if we were in the market for a new full-size luxury saloon, Audi would certainly be on the short list. Its German rivals? Not so much— we stopped caring with the E32 and W126, respectively.
