It takes more than hard work, dedication and
vision to create the truly exceptional. It takes
something intangible. Something you cant
quite put your hands on. Its courage, guts,
perseverance, passion and erceness o ocus
all wrapped into one.
Anditsthisintangiblecharacteristicthatdenes
all o us at Audi. Its the driving orce behind
every pencil line we draw, every calculation we
make and every idea we deem not good enough.
Its why every inch and curve and angle haspurpose. Its why we test our cars at the highest
o speeds or hours on end so they can be driven
on any surace and in any condition rain, shine
or white-out blizzard.
Its why substance always wins the day. I ts
why cutting a corner, even a weld seam in the
trunk, would be sacrilegious. And its why or
us scrutiny is so deeply ingrained its like the
very act o breathing.
This is Truth in Engineering. And this is Audi.

Audi has long been known or its superior
handling and the A8 advances this ethos to
a new level, setting a new benchmark or the
category. Its dynamic characteristics can be
traced to a number o innovations that make
it handle like a true sports sedan.
At the heart o its remarkable handling is the
ASF. The aluminum space rame helps reduce
weight while oering increased stiness
over a comparable steel rame. The ASF oers
exceptional torsional rigidity which translates
into precise handling.
The quattro all-wheel drive system is central to
the cornering prowess o the A8, helping instill
condence with enhanced traction and power
delivery. For an even higher level o control
and agility, quattrowith available Sport Rear
Dierential varies torque between the two
rear wheels to help reduce understeer through
corners and helps create the sporty driving
experience ound in an Audi vehicle. The result
is more precise, nimble handling.
The moment your hands turn the steering wheel,
you experience the technology o speed sensitive
steering. Regardless o whether youre on the
highway or in the city, steering the A8 is always
precise and responsive. Servotronic steering
varies power assistance based on vehicle speed.
At low speeds, the steering operates with a
high degree o power assist, making it easier
to maneuver the car. At higher speeds on the
open road, power assist is reduced, resulting
in a high degree o straight line stability.With
Audi dynamic steering, an added layer o
perormance is achieved by varying the steering
ratioupto 100percentdependingonthevehicles
speedandchosendriveselectmode.
The A8 handling is even more evolved with
the standard adaptive air suspension. Its
designed to react to driving orces virtually
instantaneously, producing a comortable,
responsive ride in nearly any driving condition.
Additionally,bodyroll andpitcharereduced
by increasing damping through corners and
under braking, resulting in a more composed
and responsive ride. For optimal personalization,
adaptive air suspension oers our modes rom
which to select: Auto, Dynamic, Comort and
Lit. Depending on the modes rom which to
select,alongwithvehiclespeed,thesuspension
can lower the body up to 20 mm.
Progressive Audi technology ourishes
with many available vehicle handling and
perormance combinations thanks to Audi
drive select. Choose Comort, Auto or Dynamic
mode, and Audi drive select helps manage the
adaptive suspension, Audi dynamic steering,
transmission shit characteristics and throttle
response. Whether you preer the smoother,
luxurious ride o Comort mode or the more
direct and rmer responses o Dynamic mode,
Audi drive select allows you to tailor the vehicle
toyour liking.With thesimplepresso abutton,
one o the three preset congurations can be
selected. The result is a driving experience
that helps ensure your A8 always perorms

evolvedJust as the A8 has dramatically progressed, so
has the intuitive MMI control system that lets
you control and manage all vehicle unctions,
including your inotainment preerences. The
groundbreaking MMI touch is a new level o
customized convenience.
Audi engineers developed this latest version
o MMI with hard and sot keys, dedicated
buttons or commonly used controls and
a revolutionary touchpad that interprets
hand-written inputs. The MMI touch system
can be used with ease. Just like drawing in
the sand, your index nger allows you to
enter navigation destinations and telephone
numbers by simply writing with your
nger on the touchpad. It allows you easier
access to radio presets, map navigation,
destinations and directories or a more
personalized driving experience.
Everydetailhasbeen thoughto, eventheprecise
location and size o the gear lever which provides
the ideal resting place or the drivers wrist so
the hand is perectly placed when using the
MMI controls.
For added convenience and ease-o-use, the
MMI system eatures a large 8" high-resolution
MMI display that uidly emerges rom the
dashboard upon vehicle ignition. It oers a
crisp, clear line-o-sight view o your navigation,
Bluetooth-enabled phone options and other
entertainment choices.
The 7" high-resolution Driver Inormation System
located in the center o the instrument cluster
oers an alternate view o your navigation
instructions as well as inotainment selections.
Voice operation helps the driver operate the
system while driving, without distraction
rom the road.
Another equally impressive technology in the
A8 is Audi night vision assistant. With thermal
imaging, it helps detect the presence o people
approximately1,000t.away.Whenhumansare
detectedthey are highlighted in yellow within
the color driver inormation display. I the
individual walks into the path o the vehicle,
the system warns the driver audibly and
highlights the person in red.
Intuitive, innovative and inspired. Through
advanced technology, luxury has progressed

progressive
As the Audi agship and benchmark in the
category, the A8 eatures the very latest
perormance technologies.
The heart o the A8 resides just behind the
raked Singlerame grille. The potent 4.2
liter V8 engine, which produces 372hp and
328 lb-t. o torque at 3500 RPM, propels
the A8 to 60 MPH in 5.7 seconds. Part o
this remarkable perormance is due to
FSI direct injection which helps produce
exceptional power while maximizing
eiciency. Perhaps most notably, this
powerul engine is made rom lightweight
aluminum alloy and weighs in at just
434 lbs., which contributes signicantly to
the overall well-balanced weight distribution
and subsequently, the superior handling
o the A8.
Audi engineers didnt stop at the engine in
search o weight savings. Thanks to innovative
engineering, the new eight-speed, drive-by-wire
Tiptronic transmission weighs the same as
the previous six-speed transmission. Optimally
spread gear ratios produce dynamic acceleration
and help reduce uel consumption by an
estimated 6 percent*.
The A8 has accomplished what no other car
has in its category: The power o a 372hp,
perormance-oriented V8 with the efciency
benets normally ound in a hybrid.

Saety is integrated into every aspect o the
Audi A8. From the passive saety o ASF, with
high-strength and lightweight alloys in critical
areas, to the latest in advanced driver assistance
technology, we have integrated multiple levels
o saety eatures to mitigate the unexpected.
The holistic approach to saety begins with,
quite simply, the our driven wheels. O all
the reasons you love quattro all-wheel drive,
youll be reassured by the act that it delivers
unparalleled traction. Building upon the
enhanced level o traction that quattro
provides, Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
incorporates a number o vehicle systems
such as Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) and Anti-slip
Regulation (ASR), among others, to help
ensure your A8 maintains its intended
direction o travel.
Elevating saety to a new level, standard Audi
pre sense oers a collection o integrated
systems that will initiate vehicle responses
accordingto driverinputsandvehiclebehaviors.
The available Driver Assistance Package includesa number o driver convenience eatures such
as Audi side assist and lane assist. Audi side
assist helps monitor your blind spot areas and
alert you to vehicles you may not otherwise see.
Once the turn signal is activated and a vehicle is
detected, ashing LED lights in the sideview
mirror housing illuminate to help warn you.
Audi lane assist helps monitor the direction
youre traveling in relation to your lane by
sending a gentle vibration through the
steering wheel as a precaution i the la ne is
unintentionally crossed. In addition to this
eature, adaptive cruise control helps maintain
your selected comort spacing between you and
the vehicle in ront. It will help detect the risk
o a rontal collision and automatically reduce
the speed o the A8 as well as issue a number
o warnings. Part o this response includes a
partial application o the brakes and i need
be, ull braking via Audi braking guard in Audi
pre sense plus. Once the the road ahead is clear,
adaptive cruise control automatically increases
the cars speed to its original preset speed.
These systems work together to help a dd
saety and security or the driver, proactively
warning you o approaching danger. Once danger
is detected, the system takes preemptive
measures to help reduce the severity o certain
types o collisions.
With a long list o comprehensive active and
passive saety eatures, no other car looks
ater your well-being like the new Audi A8.
