Lightweight V8
Powered by lean engine muscle, the lightweight magnesium and aluminium components of the A8 reduce weight and increase efficiency.
Adaptive air suspension
Adjustable suspension modes deliver superior ride quality and the immediate response that a luxury sedan demands. Responsive without sacrificing ease.
6-speed tiptronic
The A8 engines utilize the 6-speed tiptronic transmission system, drawing out the engine’s most powerful characteristics and creating the choice of a relaxing or exhilarating drive.
Driving dynamics
