 Dr. Bastian Preindl, 
  
I am simply in Awe. 
  
Awe, defined as an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration,  fear etc., 
produced by that  which is grand, sublime, extremely powerful, 
or the like: in awe of God; in awe of great political figures. 
  
I went to the web site and copied the book intro on the page and sent it through GOOGLE translator......

New style in the upper class (Edition Audi Tradition ) 

Actually, the thing was long overdue : when Audi in the fall of 1988 brought the V8 on the market, 
opposite the four rings back to the automotive luxury house. 
In the pre-war Horch had this segment very successfully operated in the Auto Union composite - also with eight-cylinder engines . 
The Audi V8 was thus heir to a great tradition , but as the first luxury class car with permanent four-wheel drive ( "Quattro" ) also pioneers of modernism . 

Now get the ever-growing fan base of this automotive milestone, finally the comprehensive standard work on the Audi V8 ! 
With high level of expertise and meticulousness of the author Dr. Bastian Preindl traces his history. 
>From development to market launch , the facelift or winning the DTM in 1990 and 1991 , everything is listed high quality illustrated here . 
In addition, this book inspired by excerpts from original sales brochures, print campaigns , as well as contemporary press reports on the Audi V8. 

But especially interesting are the numerous sound bites of grandees like Ferdinand Piëch , Franz -Josef Paefgen, Ernst Fiala or Carl H. Hahn , 
which paved the way for the Audi V8. This title should be in every automobile library!

Dear fans of the Audi V8, 

as most of you may know, I'm driving V8s since more than 10 years and those 
underdogs became my number one leisure activity in no time. Some of you may have 
also noticed my affection to posting long answers - yes, I love writing! Some 
years ago, blessed with too much spare time (even though I have to maintain 
three of those tanks), I turned one of my long-term daydreams into reality. I 
started writing a book about the Audi V8 D1.
