Audi is bringing the next generation of the A8 to the starting line.
The new flagship demonstrates the brand's proverbial 'Vorsprung durch Technik' with its light aluminum body, its powerful and highly efficient engines, the further improved MMI operating system, new driver assistance systems, the full LED headlights and an elegant interior.
"The new Audi A8 is sporty," said Rupert Stadler, chairman of the board of management of Audi. "It combines numerous functions in a new way."
The new luxury sedan, to arrive at Middle East region dealerships in late 2010, is a technical work of art.
Its elegant and forceful body is an aluminum Audi space frame, weighing about 40 per cent less than a comparable steel structure. The interior is captivating, with its new and spacious design.
The new Audi A8 offers the perfect synthesis of dynamics, perfection in design, workmanship and pioneering efficiency. The A8 4.2 FSI draws 273kW (372hp) of power from 4,163cc displacement, generating its maximum of 445Nm torque at 3,500rpm. It accelerates the A8 from zero to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, with the propulsion ending (as in all engine variants) at the electronically controlled speed of 250km/h.
