4V only works in E mode. So keep it in S or T. No need to change anything. Enjoy the wonderful ride in V8. Yeah

Does the A8 have the Rev Matching feature like the M7? I know on DSG transmission cars, the autos have rev match.

If not, GM is very smart with this marketing trick. If the C8 (automatic only is the rumor?) doesn't come with Rev Matching, it's gonna **** a lot of people off I bet!

Count me stupid, but why do you need "rev matching" in an automatic? It does that already, It will sync revs or deny shift if out of parameters.

The prior poster was asking if the auto has it. Those with either the A6 or A8 know that they already have rev matching but older autos didn't so I can see why folks might wonder about it.

It sounds cool, and makes the downshift a bit smoother.
