Modern luxury sedans prove that you no longer need to choose between luxury or performance – you can have both in abundance. Enter three of the most advanced high-speed flagship sedans on the market, each propelled by a twin-turbocharged V8 and all-wheel drive: the Audi S8, BMW 760i, and Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance.

The Audi S8 stays true to its roots with 563hp and no hybrid assistance, sprinting from 0–100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds with trademark quattro traction. The 760i adds a mild-hybrid boost to its 536hp V8 for a 4.1-second dash, while the S 63 E Performance combines combustion and electrification in a PHEV powertrain producing an astounding 791hp and over 1,400Nm of torque. The latter’s hybrid system also features an innovative two-speed gearbox for the electric motor, creating up to 18 distinct gear ratios when combined with its 9-speed automatic transmission connected to its V8.

Luxury appointments are equally impressive: the BMW and Mercedes-AMG both offer reclining executive rear seats with extendable ottomans, while the BMW’s optional rear-seat Theatre Screen offers a distinguished cinematic experience on the move. The Audi counters with heated, ventilated, and massaging seats for all five passengers. Under their bodywork, each model embodies their marque’s most cutting-edge and forward-thinking technology and equipment – notably the Audi’s Predictive Active Suspension, BMW’s adaptive air suspension, and Mercedes-AMG’s carbon-ceramic braking system.

Whether you are navigating tight corners or cruising the open highway, these road-going rockets offer an unmatched combination of comfort, innovation, and thrilling performance in equal and superlative measure; all while redefining what it means to travel in style.
