2022 Audi A8 vs. 2022 Chevrolet Corvette
The 2022 Audi A8 is a stately automobile, the type of vehicle driven by corporate executives and heads of state. Its tech rich interior, stunning appearance and engine power makes it a force to be reckoned with. But how does it compare to the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette, a sports car with spectacular looks and earthshattering speed?
Design & Style
The Corvette can be purchased in convertible or coupe format, both of which look fantastic. It features a Carbon Flash style finish with customized wheels, side mirrors and a spoiler in the rear. Only one thousand units were produced in total, making it quite rare and the GT2 seats within the cabin are heavily bolstered.
The Audi A8 is distinctive for its trapezoidal front grille, elongated body and elegant lines. The leather within the cabin looks and feels wonderful, as does the carbon fiber and wooden trim. Passengers get lots of space for luggage along with adaptive dampers and 4 corner style air suspensions. The exterior is conservative yet dapper, conveying the demeanor of a vehicle driven by successful and no-nonsense people.
Technology & Safety
Audi is renowned for the safety of its vehicles and the A8 upholds this reputation, being outfitted with all the newest technology. It has parking sensors for the back and front, lane departure alerts, a camera with surround view, multiple air bags and the ability to recognize traffic signs. Amenities within its cabin include ten inch touch displays, an audio system from Bang & Olufsen, climate control which covers 4 zones and a panoramic style sunroof.
Like many high end sports cars, the Chevrolet Corvette lacks emergency automated brakes, which is ridiculous given its price tag. It does have parking sensors for the rear, as well as blind area monitoring and traffic alerts. There is also a data recorder that allows drivers to record their performance, similar to the black boxes found in trains and airplanes. Luxuries within its cabin include an eight inch touch display, satellite radio, audio from Bose and the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
Performance
Speed is where the Chevrolet Corvette shines the brightest. It is equipped with a V8, 6.2 liter engine that can generate 490 horsepower with 495 pounds of torque that allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in about 2.9 seconds, with a maximum 194 mph top speed. The Audi A8 also has a V8 engine that is 4 liter and dual turbocharged that enables it to generate 563 horsepower with 590 pounds of torque. It can accelerate from zero to sixty in just 3.8 seconds.
The Bottom Line
Though the Chevrolet Corvette has slightly faster acceleration time, it doesn’t have emergency automated brakes, a feature that is now common even in low end automobiles. This combined with its minimal cargo space and ability to only seat two passengers while the Audi can seat 5 makes the A8 the winner.
