Audi A8

Audi is writing a new chapter in its successful history of lightweight design. For the coming generation of the Audi A8, an intelligent mix of four materials will be used in the body structure for the first time – more than in any of the brand’s previous production models. The luxury sedan is thus once again rightfully claiming its role as an innovation driver in automotive lightweight design. A tradition that dates back to the year 1994, when the A8 with its aluminum unitary body in Audi Space Frame (ASF) design caused quite a sensation.

A multitude of high-end technologies, systematic lightweight construction and excellent comfort: Audi presents a thoroughly revised version of its successful A8 flagship. Its engines have become even more powerful and efficient; new assistance systems and the innovative Matrix LED headlights make for even more superior driving.
