My previous car to the A8 was a Granada Cosworth which I presume is the engine you have in your 4x4. It's a lovely engine in the Granada delivering loads of fun when pushed and effortless driving the rest of the time. I've seen a few 4x4 with the BOA lump in them and always thought the weight and size loss over the Granada, combined with the advantages of 4 wheel drive, must make them a whole lot of fun.
However that alone doesn't make it cool. I always thought the 4x4 were cool, the thinking mans Sierra Cosworth. More understated and nearly as quick (as the standard SC).
