AUDI A8 – SPORTY & EXCLUSIVE CAR
AUDI A8 – DESIGN
The A8 carries all the hallmarks of Audi’s distinctively desirable design. Its restraint and simplicity mark it out as a classic in the making, yet there’s also something about its style that claims new territory. The sleek, confident sweep of its lines from bumper to bumper. The elegant cabin. The balance and poise. This is the luxury sports saloon – redefined.
Design Features
Front design
Catch sight of the A8 in the rear view mirror, and you accord it instant respect. Powerful, tubular headlights stare forward, while the broad double grille with four interlocked rings reminds you that performance is part of every Audi’s DNA.
Side and rear design
The A8 seems to be moving even when stationary. Short overhangs, confident lines and wide stance express a serious sporting intent. This may be a spacious luxury car, but it’s also a serious driver’s car.
Interior
Beautifully made from the finest materials and designed with an intuitive elegance, the cabin of an A8 makes you wish your journey could last a little longer.
Aerodynamic body
The new A8 cuts the air with a drag coefficient 8% lower than its predecessor. The lowest rear axle lift of any car in its class provides outstanding road holding and stability.
LED light technology
Smaller and smarter than conventional bulbs, the A8’s lightweight LEDs offer greater visibility, penetration and an overall safer driving experience.
AUDI A8 – SAFETY
Even before it left the drawing board, the A8 was already one of the safest cars in its class. State-of-the-art digital modelling allowed designers and engineers to take into account every angle and every situation. When the real vehicle was put to the test, its performance was exactly as predicted – with outstanding levels of occupant safety.
Safety Features
quattro
quattro four-wheel-drive is at the core of Audi’s innovative technology. quattro gives the A8 outstanding traction and performance in any weather. At a time when four-wheel-drive is still a unique feature in the luxury class, Audi safety is miles ahead.
Air bags
Front seat passengers are protected by airbags with two-stage activation, while the driver is protected by an innovative ring-type airbag, whose radial unfolding pattern is proven more effective in reducing accident injury.
Active head restraints
Head restraints can play an active role in reducing injury. In the event of a rear-end collision, the A8’s restraints pivot forwards, reducing the risk of whiplash
neck injuries.
Audi Space Frame III
In its third generation, the Audi Space Frame exceeds all current industry standards. Its high torsional stiffness improves both ride and handling, making it just one more example of Audi’s innovative safety technology.
ESP
The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) reacts faster than even a racing driver could to bring hazardous situations under control. By monitoring wheel speeds, slip angles and the position of the steering wheel, ESP can apply brakes and reduce power to individual wheels until full traction and control is restored.
