The answer is: the application of technology (tools).
Three million years ago, when ancient humans learned to drive away their competitors with sticks, they unlocked the skill tree of "technology changes life". Nowadays, mankind has entered a new stage of "if you don't do it, you will do it." Anything we take at will is essentially a tool, that is, a product of science and technology. The automobile industry is no exception. Almost all automobile brands are seeking development in the direction of "intelligence and technology". Its development trend reflects our urgent need to free our hands (and legs).
In the view of spicy car, Audi has been doing better than ABB in the field of "intelligent technology", which can be said to be at the forefront of the trend of "intelligent technology". As the flagship model of Audi brand A8L, "Intelligent Technology" is the most distinctive label of A8L compared with brands and models of the same level.
However, when it comes to Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, the two old enemies who love each other and kill each other, they are always unavoidable, especially in A8L class, and they always compare the 7 series with the S class. Therefore, it is also an executive car of luxury brands, and there must be swords and shadows coming and going.
Therefore, the hot car event specially invited a brand-new Audi A8L owner and a BMW 7 Series owner. Who is the more advantageous party?
7 series owner:
BMW 7 Series is equipped with BMW's most classic 3.0T? L6 engine with maximum horsepower of 340Ps.
A8L Owner:
7 series entry-level 730Li is 2.0T? The four-cylinder engine has only 265 horsepower. And the entry of Audi A8L is 3.0T? The 6-cylinder is also the only D-class model of BBA, namely "V6+ four-wheel drive", and its maximum power is 2 1 more than that of 730Li. Even the same 3.0T? For the 6-cylinder 340-horse model, Audi is equipped with a 48V light mixing system and an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, which is more powerful than the 740Li.
7 series owner:
BMW 7 Series all-aluminum body structure is lighter than the previous generation, and its safety and fuel economy are greatly improved.
A8L Owner:
Don't underestimate the Audi A8L, which uses a more solid new generation ASF composite body structure. Under the ever-changing traffic and performance requirements, the new generation of ASF composite body frame adds magnesium alloy and CFRP carbon fiber reinforced materials on the basis of aluminum alloy, and a new generation of long-distance laser welding technology, which further strengthens the all-round strength of the body frame.
7 series owner:
BMW's driver assistance system has been advanced for a long time.
A8L Owner:
All audis have BMW, and the new Audi A8L redefines the comfortable and safe travel experience with "black technology". The A8L is equipped with the most abundant 4 1 driver assistance systems in its class, such as pre-typesetting integrated pre-safety system, adaptive cruise control start-stop system, parking assistance system, etc., which can not only know the information of vehicles and drivers in time, but also ensure the safety of drivers and passengers and other traffic participants in all directions. Audi AI congestion automatic driving, Audi AI remote automatic parking &; Audi AI garage remote control automatic parking, etc. It also reflects the perfect integration of portable travel and intelligence.
The new Audi A8L is equipped with rich auxiliary driving sensors of the same class: laser radar under the front number plate, long-range radar, 4 short-range radars, 12 ultrasonic radar, and 5 cameras (4 outside the car? +? 1 car), as well as the most advanced central driver assistance control system zFAS.
7 series owner:
Speaking of appearance and luxurious interior, the BMW 7 Series is not a little better than your Audi!
A8L Owner:
Don't! Don't! Don't! Fancy has never been the label of Audi! The word "atmosphere" is not yours alone. The new Audi A8L inherits the breakthrough of the times with classic bearing, and the full-size body is magnificent. The body over 5.3 meters and the width over 1.9 meters bring you a shock beyond plane vision. The wheelbase is over 3. 1 m, which brings you unlimited private space. The full-size mesh grille is full of ups and downs, highlighting the sharp side under the solemn body.
Moreover, the upper body of the Audi A8L suit can also move gracefully. The lower part of the car body matches the outline of the coupe, and chrome-plated lines run through the bottom of the car, further reducing the visual center of gravity and creating a more stable situation.
In addition, the new Audi A8L is also equipped with a new generation of intelligent virtual cockpit, which provides drivers with more comprehensive function settings and better visual effects. Different from the traditional full LCD instrument, A8L's LCD instrument can exceed the definition of the display. Hidden under the screen is a powerful independent CPU system. Seamless switching between holographic map and intelligent driving, intelligent virtual cockpit system allows you to control the functions needed in the car without leaving the steering wheel.

A8L Owner:
And your 730Li and 740Li tops don't have four-wheel drive, do they? Audi A8L comes standard with quattro full-time four-wheel drive technology, do you know? Audi A8L's steady posture in various road conditions comes from this legendary quattro full-time four-wheel drive technology.
What is quattro? I will give you a science lesson, too. Quattro full-time four-wheel drive system technology is based on mechanical torque sensing limited slip differential, which is a truly uncontrolled mechanical full-time four-wheel drive system without worrying about response speed and temperature control. As long as the wheels touch the roads with decreased adhesion, such as water and ice, at that moment, before the car body is affected, quattro full-time four-wheel drive has given feedback without delay, and immediately distributed effective power to other wheels to ensure the best grip. However, all this is done quietly.
What's more worth mentioning is that the Audi A8L comes standard with the Audi dynamic four-wheel steering system, which further improves the body handling ability. The four-wheel steering system allows the rear wheel and the front wheel to reverse steering at low speed, which can further reduce the turning radius and improve the flexibility of the vehicle. At high speed, the four-wheel steering system controls the rear wheel and the front wheel to steer in the same direction to increase the stability and safety of the car body at high speed.
7 series owner:
The company has something to do. I'll go first. Talk to you next time!
As a new flagship benchmark of luxury D-class in the era of intelligent driving with "black technology", the new Audi A8L? Creatively combine luxury experience with intelligent experience to push luxury D-class cars into a new era of intelligent driving. And many "black technologies" have made the new Audi A8L "control the wisdom of tomorrow" by virtue of its strength, and also let BMW, the leader in its class? 7 series is also "candidly admit defeat".
The picture comes from Audi brand official and spicy car shooting.
