Default BMW 745i-Audi A8 4.2-FSI-Jaguar XJ-Lexus LS460-MB S460


Best motoring, it is in the rain so I wasn't too surprised by the result

quattro is the king og 4wd

On a wet track Audi A8 with its 4 wheel drive is slightly faster than those rear wheel drive cars. I was wondering that If the track is try is it still gonna win?

Yes and in a sarcastic way I pointed out that the 745i would dominate the A8 on a dry track.

Yep I agree. No surprise the Audi won in the rain. I would have like to see the Jags power fully unleashed.

nice test, thx i think i'd have the audi of these four, or the Jag... so i guess that's proof that performance indeed isn't the main decider here although the wet weather ability of the Audi would definitely appeal to me...

Aaa.. sry I didn't get this one at first


But I dont think 745 will dominate a lot. I've heard that A8 has sportier handling than 7 series.
