It’s been a while since we’ve had a ‘Let’s Talk Numbers’ battle so we’re bringing it back today with a face-off between the 2011 BMW 7-Series and the 2011 Audi A8.

Our battle today includes the 2011 Audi A8, which is powered by a 4.2L V8 and the 2011 BMW 750i, which is powered by a 4.4L V8. We’re leaving the 740i out of this face-off since Audi doesn’t offer a 6-cylinder variant of the A8.

Here we go.
