The A8 sets the standard of driving dynamics for a sporting luxury car. TDI engine technology delivers enormous power and torque, while lightweight materials keep weight to a minimum. For added control and safety, Audi’s unique active driving technology responds instantly to conditions and driving style. The result is a luxury saloon ride with snarling sports car performance.

Lightweight V8

Powered by lean engine muscle, the A8’s lightweight magnesium and aluminium components reduce weight and increase efficiency.

Sporty sound

Smooth, but with enough growl to remind you of the car’s pedigree, the A8’s dual-branch exhaust and silencer system lets you enjoy the sound of the V8 engine without it being overbearing.

Adaptive air suspension
A luxury sport saloon’s handling must be responsive but also smooth. Audi’s world-first adjustable suspension modes deliver the superior ride quality and immediacy of response demanded by discerning drivers.

Paddle gear-shift

200+ mph is no time to take your hands off the wheel. The A8 features Audi’s same motor sport paddle gearshift system and puts spilt-second gear changes at
your fingertips.

6-speed tiptronic
Imperceptible automatic gear selection or split-second manual changes? Whichever you select, the A8’s Dynamic Shift and Sport programmes provide instant response to full-throttle demands and ensure smooth shift transitions.
