2018 Jaguar XE SV Project 8:
We’ve been waiting for Jaguar to produce a truly hot version of the XE since the sedan was introduced in 2014. Now, for a few lucky buyers, it has finally arrived in the form of the limited-edition, 592-hp XE SV Project 8, set to be unveiled at this weekend’s Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom. As the name suggests, the Project 8 is the spiritual follow-up to the hyper-limited F-type Project 7 roadster, and is produced by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division. With four seats and a roof, the XE–based special will be more practical; it also will be the fastest-accelerating Jaguar yet, with a claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 3.3 seconds. The stated 200-mph top speed also is impressive, but it doesn’t top that achieved by the XJ220 back in the 1990s.The engine is a reworked version of JLR’s familiar supercharged 5.0-liter V-8, welcome proof of Jaguar design boss Ian Callum’s assertion at the car’s original launch that the big engine would fit into the XE. It gets a new air-intake system and exhales through a lightweight titanium exhaust. The transmission is the ZF eight-speed automatic from the regular XE but with more aggressive software that Jaguar says is able to change gears in 0.2 second. The car also gets all-wheel drive and a torque-vectoring rear differential...

2018 Audi A8:
The new Audi A8 presents the future of the luxury class. In its fourth generation, the brand's flagship model again provides the benchmark for Vorsprung durch Technik - with a new design language, an innovative touchscreen operating concept and a systematically electrified drive. The Audi A8 is also the first production automobile in the world to have been developed for highly automated driving. From 2018, Audi will gradually be taking piloted driving functions such as parking pilot, garage pilot and traffic jam pilot into production. The new Audi A8 and A8 L are being built at the Neckarsulm site and will appear on the German market in late fall 2017. The starting price for the A8 is EUR 90,600, with the A8 L starting at EUR 94,100. Doyen of Audi style: the exterior design: Sports appeal, lightweight construction and quattro - the design of the new A8 perfectly conveys Audi's fundamental values. It embodies sporting elegance, sophistication and progressive status. The new flagship model takes the brand into a new design era. The hexagonal Singleframe grille dominates the sedan's upright front end. With its low position and width, it determines all adjoining lines and surfaces. The headlight shapes merge perfectly with the Singleframe. With the optional HD Matrix LED headlights, the daytime running lights are a visual extension of the grille's top lamella. The segmented light signature divides the headlights horizontally, creating an elegant overall impression. Substantial chrome frames surround the air inlets, with a flat center inlet connecting them...
