I'd imagine an A8 would be crap compared to an FF.

A Q8 might stand a better chance, but have you seen how low its chin spoiler is? I parked my FF next to one recently, face on to a curb on Exmouth seafront. The Q8's spoiler was almost touching the kerb. My FF cleared it easily. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

Meant just as a general rule of thumb with regards to roadholding and such not really against the likes of a FF tho …

Worded the OP wrongly  ====================================

Oh yes, of course. No competition. I'm more interested to know that it retains some modicum of grip and controllability on snowy or icy roads. If we get 2' I'll be out in the D3... Graham

Used to have an S8 which i drove during the winter of 2009 and was amazed at how good it was in the snow unless of course I was being daft with the throttle.. too much and it was like Torvill and Dean but on the whole it was pretty good even on the high performance yoko tyres

it is excellent in the snow - once again tyres are key - i used to have a a8 quattro sport 3.0 and when almost most cars with stuck in the snow - country gridlocked with accidents - I travelled from wales to scotland - it took me 17 hours non stop driving but my a8 got me from a to b no problem at all -

I was going in the lanes covered in deep snow! where no other cars were going - in retrospect it was rather brave. I had a new found respect for the quattro system after this point.

I also only had the standard factory fit tyres on at this point - no winter set.

Bit of love on here for the A8 then...  Graham

Yeah, my S4 was quite interesting last winter. Compared to my BMW, almost anything is better... Graham

Beemers and Mercs' are rubbish on snow. Hard to understand when you know that Munich and Stuttgart have snow every year.

winter tyres make a significnt difference

It's not a range rover.

But mine was surprising how good it was.
