Audi A8 L Quattro - Innovation, Quality and Precision

Описание: 2018 Audi A8 L Quattro - Drive, Interior and Exterior. New Audi A8 - First Look. Colour: Terragrey

The new Audi A8 delivers on the promise made by the Audi prologue design study. The luxury sedan possesses a powerful presence – whether in the 5.17 meter (17.0 ft) standard version or the Audi A8 L, which has a 13 centimeter (5.1 in) longer wheelbase.

The classiest seat in the new Audi flagship model is in the rear right – the optional relaxation seat in the Audi A8 L that comes with four different adjustment options and a footrest. In this seat, the passenger can warm and massage the soles of their feet on a unit with multiple settings incorporated into the back of the front-passenger seat.

The new Audi A8 starts out in the German market with two extensively reengineered V6 turbo engines: a 3.0 TDI and a 3.0 TFSI. The diesel develops 210 kW (286 hp), and the gasoline version 250 kW (340 hp). Two eight-cylinder versions – a 4.0 TDI with 320 kW (435 hp) and a 4.0 TFSI with 338 kW (460 hp) – will follow slightly later. The exclusive top engine version is the W12 with a displacement of 6.0 liters.

The Audi A8 L e-tron quattro with its powerful plug-in hybrid drive will follow at a later date (This vehicle is not yet on sale. It does not yet have type approval and is therefore not subject to Directive 1999/94/EC.): Its 3.0 TFSI and the powerful electric motor achieve 330 kW (449 hp) of system power and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of system torque. The lithium-ion battery stores enough power for about 50 kilometers (31.1 mi) of electric driving. It can optionally be charged by Audi Wireless Charging. A pad in the garage floor transfers the power inductively to a receiver coil in the automobile with a power output of 3.6 kW.

The new Audi A8 and Audi A8 L are being built at the Neckarsulm site and will appear on the German market in late fall 2017. The starting price for the Audi A8 is EUR 90,600, with the Audi A8 L starting at EUR 94,100.

Shape. Shift. Sense. Space. These four terms summarize the new Audi A8 with all its characteristics. Shape denotes the aesthetic qualities that the customer sees and feels – the exterior and interior design, the lighting, the colors and materials, as well as the traditional craftsmanship with which they are worked. Shift describes the new level at which the Audi A8 operates. This means the engines, the power transmission, the suspension and also the functions that come under the umbrella of Audi AI – the traffic jam pilot, the (remote) parking pilot and the remote garage pilot.
