Audi A8

Luxury Limousine Audi A8 combines the all-wheel drive quattro, light and stable aluminum body Audi Space Frame ASF and air suspension adaptive air suspension.
In addition, there is a wide choice of powerful engines. The design and technique of the A8 set the tone.
Audi has released a new generation A8 model. This sporty luxury sedan sets new standards. The car has a lightweight elegant body made with Audi Space Frame (ASF) technology, is equipped with powerful and highly efficient engines, has excellent dynamic characteristics, is characterized by the convenience of the transmission and running gear.
Space with an abundance of free space. Exquisite materials of the highest quality. Technologies that help the driver: for example, an optional navigation system MMI navigation plus with a touch panel MMI touch and an 8-inch color monitor.
Once inside the new Audi A8, you immediatelyfeel absolute comfort. This atmosphere is created not only interior decoration using exclusive types of leather and valuable varieties of wood, but also the feeling of a trip to the Audi A8.
The "girdle line" of the salon of its open,laconic and verified form accentuates attention to horizontal forms. This line, passing through the entire salon and decorated in accordance with the general style of the interior, strikes with refinement of design and careful execution. Salon handmade: seats upholstered with exclusive soft leather, are hand-lined; Used in decoration, wood veneer is also polished and varnished manually.
Radically updated gear leveris made in the form of a throttle stick on a yacht. Due to its special shape, the lever has a dual purpose: in addition to the basic shift function, it can also be used as an ergonomic arm support when using the MMI system.
Single-frame radiator grille. The three-dimensional design of the single-frame single-frame radiator grille attracts the eye and radiates confidence. On either side of it are xenon headlamps with LED daylight lights, or - in optional equipment - LED head optics. With any combination, the appearance of the Audi A8 remains unmistakably recognizable on the road.
Single-frame radiator grille. The tornado line, which starts at the arches of the front wheels, rises as it moves to the rear, creating a general impression of aspiration, as if at any moment the car is ready to make a violent leap. Large wheels with aluminum alloy wheels give the car more stability.
On first examination, it can be seen thatThe concept of design Audi A8 differs expressiveness of forms and proportions. The shoulder line, underlined by a broad shaded face, defines the horizontal line of the car, creating a play of light and shadow.
The rear of the body in the style of the coupe. The shoulder line and the tornado line accentuate the shape of the rear of the car, and the features borrowed from the coupe create a sense of dynamism so characteristic of the Audi A8.
The luggage compartment lid, whose face is made "with a hint" on the spoiler, continues the shoulder line and further emphasizes the sporting character of the Audi A8.

The heart of the Audi A8 are modern, graduallyImproved engines. An impressive supply of power provides excellent road behavior and impeccable handling. At the same time, fuel consumption and undesirable emissions are significantly reduced in comparison with the previous model. This was achieved thanks to a number of measures aimed at increasing the efficiency of engines.
Like many other Audi engines, in the motorV8 volume of 4.2 liters, installed on the Audi A8, uses FSI technology. A new engine management system and innovative systems for the rational use of heat help to reduce fuel consumption. The engine quickly heats up to the operating temperature after a cold start, which reduces the loss of power due to friction.
The engine 4.2 FSI requires only 9.5 liters of fuel per 100 km, and this despite the fact that it develops an impressive power of 372 hp. (273 kW). The engine, which has a maximum torque of 445 Nm, allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 5.7 seconds.
Thanks to the luxurious interior of the Audi A8, eachthe trip turns into a comfortable, relaxing journey. A large supply of free space will please every passenger, and the front and rear seats in the new design provide the highest level of comfort.
Optional LED lights give the appearanceAudi A8 special attraction, is another example of the technological superiority of the car. A strip of LED lights was added to the dipped beam module. Now the Audi A8 is equally recognizable both in the light and in the dark.
The design of the Audi Space Frame (ASF) isan innovative body concept from Audi. The body consists of a light, but very strong aluminum space frame, the use of which allows you to reduce the weight of the car and reduce fuel consumption.
The use of technology Audi Space Frame allowedto achieve a number of very tangible benefits: improving safety, reducing fuel consumption, sporting high controllability and increased reliability through the use of carefully selected high-quality materials.
The new Audi A8 was first installedA state-of-the-art 8-speed automatic transmission tiptronic with shift-by-wire technology (fully electronic gear shift without mechanical connection). Providing maximum convenience of use, a completely new concept of the gearbox allows to significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions of harmful substances.
Dynamics control system Audi driveselect, installed as standard equipment, allows you to configure the parameters of individual systems of the car at the touch of a button, thus changing the nature of the traffic.
There are four modes: comfortable, dynamic, automatic and individual; The latter allows the driver to independently determine in which mode each of the vehicle components controlled by the system should work.
Equipped with an optional all-wheel drive quattrowith a sports differential that distributes the moment between the rear wheels, the Audi A8 is able to pass any turns confidently, as on the rails. This is achieved by adding a combined two-stage unit to the quattro differential for the rear axle on the left and right. The stages of the block provide a separate transfer of torque to each of the rear wheels.

When creating a dynamic steeringAudi engineers were able to find a solution to the problem over which many car manufacturers struggled for a long time: to develop a system that automatically adjusts the gear ratio of the steering gear and the force on the steering wheel to the speed of movement.
Depending on the situation, the angle of rotation and effort,necessary for steering wheel rotation, are dynamically adjusted when changing lanes, parking and cornering. Thus, the comfort is improved and the overall performance of the car is improved.
Improved four-zone systemair conditioning, installed as additional equipment, provides maintenance of individual climate settings for each passenger Audi A8. The distribution of air flows, the regulation of temperature and fan speed can also be set separately for the left and right sides in both rows of seats.
Using the MMI Multimedia Interfacehas never been particularly difficult, and now management has become even easier - by reducing the number of keys. The audio and multimedia controls are located next to the volume control. Six other function buttons, including for controlling the phone and navigation system, are located above the central rotary key and provide an intuitive control.
Another novelty is the design of the MMI interface in"Roundabout" style. Now, viewing the functions has become even more convenient, and choosing the right one will not be difficult. 8-inch high-resolution color display with piano finish can be removed to the panel when not in use.
Absolutely new design of the shift knobgear tiptronic, made in the form of a throttle lever on the yacht, increases ergonomics. In addition to the gearshift, it serves as a handy support for the hand while controlling the MMI system, which provides additional convenience and does not distract the driver.
The touch input system MMI touch presents a new intelligent approach to navigating the navigation system. It is enough simply to "write" a finger with letters or numbers on the touch-panel control panel.
Audi pre sense system. Among the many technical innovations used in the design of the Audi A8, there is one feature: the "seventh sense", or "anticipation" Audi pre sense.
Adaptive cruise control system. The optional adaptive cruise control system with the Stop & Go function, as part of the Audi Pre Sense Front, is a key component of the driver assistance systems.
Audi lane assist. Installed as an option, the lane lane assist assistant Audi lane assist is activated at a speed of 60 km / h if the car is inadvertently shifted to the edge of the lane.
Audi side assist assist rebuild. The Audi side assist, which is part of the Audi pre sense rear, controls the space behind the car as an option.
Night vision system. The human eye is one of the most delicate senses. But sometimes he does not notice some details. This occurs in the dark or with temporary blindness. We have made every effort to help you cope with such situations.
The main beam control system. The main beam control system performs the standard function of switching the far and dipped headlights on night trips. The camera system helps prevent dazzling drivers of oncoming cars and at the same time ensure optimum illumination of the road section.
