Audi A8 and A8L Offer More than You Might Expect

One look at the Audi A8 and A8L (long-wheelbase model) may not be enough to capture all of its offerings.  Its powerful V8 stands near the head of the class with its EPA highway rating of 27mpg, and is elegantly paired with the A8’s quattro all-wheel drive and ultra lightweight aluminum Audi Space Frame.   The A8’s distinctive LED headlights quickly grab your attention and draw it over the A8’s sleek and aggressive design.

The 4.2liter V8 pumps out 372 hp and 328 ft-lbs of torque, traveling from 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds.  Additionally, the A8 is paired with Audi’s top of the line driving technology, allowing the driver to adjust shift points, suspension stiffness, and steering assist.  The Audi drive select provides 4 distinctive modes for easy customization of over 27 different configurations. 

Perhaps the most impressive features of the A8 are in its state of the art safety provisions.  Each of the Audi A8 vehicles comes standard with Audi’s pre sense basic, which triggers seatbelt tension, automatic closure of windows and sunroof and triggering of hazard lights.  Audi’s Lane Assist helps to alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling over 40 mph and veers outside the lane markings, by vibration in the steering wheel.  The Audi Night Vision Assistant extends vision beyond your headlights and detects objects up to 300 yards away via thermal imaging.  Highlighted images representing potential hazard are easily seen in the night vision display, helping to avoid potential collision.  The A8 is also equipped with 10 airbags and responsive head restraints for maximum protection during collision.

The interior of the A8 showcases handpicked materials, governed by meticulous quality standards and scrupulous variance standards.  Its intuitive and intelligent touchpad MMI creates effortless engagement with the Audi MMI system.  This touchpad system recognizes handwritten alphanumeric inputs and is paired with an 8” vibrant retractable display integrated into the dashboard and 7” informational display in the instrument panel.

A 19-speaker Band & Olufsen sound system virtually replicates a live concert, and creates an aural experience for the driver and passengers, who can relax in comfort due to power adjustable front and rear seats.  If you seek the maximum in luxury vehicles, paired with the performance of the Audi brand, the A8 is the epitome of luxury performance.
