audi a8

Even though the Audi A8 was released in 1994, the car did not become accessible to North Americans until late 1997. Unlike the Audi V8, which was succeeded by the Audi A8, this car was built on a Volkswagen Group D2 platform, rather than the steel platform of its predecessor. The all aluminum monocoque, also dubbed as the Audi Space Frame assisted in resulting in a significant weight loss without having to sacrifice structural rigidity.

The Audi A8 saloon came in a standard wheelbase but the Audi A8L came with a large wheelbase, which added an additional 5 inches of legroom, making the car quite spacious and comfortable from the inside. Not only was the Audi A8 the world’s first ever car to be constructed completely on an aluminum platform, but it was also the world’s most equipped vehicle due to the inclusion of six interior air bags.

The Audi A8 comes in a range of variants, and the later models also featured a Hybrid edition, as well as the usual petrol and diesel engines. The Audi A8 that model released in 2008 featured a 4.2 L FSI V8 engine for users of petrol, and the diesel engines available were the 3.0L V6 TDI and the 4.2L V8 TDI.
