We almost forgot the Audi S8. Last time I drove one, I had serious sideburns going on and hadn't even met my wife yet. But I shouldn't have, and the new, facelifted version reminds me exactly why. It's got a monster twin-turbo V8 that rumbles away while making 563 hp and 590 lb/ft. It's got a wild active suspension that can raise, lower, lean into corners, and hop if necessary. It's got all the best tech, laid out in a way that makes sense, an incredible stereo, and it makes you feel good about driving. In a world where EV luxury seems like the future, the S8 makes a great case for not quite letting go of the classics just yet.
