There is no conflict between sportiness and common sense in the case of the Audi A8: the luxury saloon brings together quattro four-wheel drive, the light but sturdy Audi Space Frame ASF® aluminium body and adaptive air suspension in a single car. On top of this, there are numerous high-torque, powerful engines to choose from. The A8's design and technology redefine the benchmark in every respect.
A8 4.2 FSI quattro
The new A8, Audi's flagship model, is nontheless a technological marvel. With a choice of five engines and a standard specification list that's just too long to mention, the new Audi A8 really is a beautifully built luxury saloon.
A8 3.0 TDI quattro
The new A8 3.0 TDI quattro features the first of a new generation of Audi TDI engines. Unusually compact at just 440mm in length, the new turbocharged and twin-intercooled 24-valve unit employs common rail injection technology. It develops 233PS at 4,000 rpm and an exceptional maximum torque figure of 450Nm from just 1,400rpm through to 3,250rpm.
