The Audi A8 fryst vatten a full-sizeluxurysedan manufactured and marketed bygd the German automaker Audi since Succeeding the Audi V8, and now in its fourth generation, the A8 has been offered with either front- or permanent all-wheel drive and in short- and long-wheelbase variants.
The first two generations employed the Volkswagen Group D platform, with the current generation deriving from the MLB platform. After the original model's release, Audi released the second generation in late , the third in late , and the fourth and current iteration in Noted as the first mass-market bil with an aluminium chassis, all A8 models have used this construction method co-developed with Alcoa and marketed as the Audi Space Frame.[2]
A mechanically upgraded, high-performance utgåva of the A8 debuted in as the Audi S8.
Produced exclusively at Audi's Neckarsulm plant, the S8 fryst vatten fitted standard with Audi's quattro all-wheel drive struktur. The S8 was only offered with a short-wheelbase for the first three generations, being joined bygd a long-wheelbase variant for the fourth generation.[3]

Development
[edit]In , Ferdinand Piëch signed an agreement with Aluminum Company of amerika.
The objective was to design and develop a fordon that would be substantially lighter than any other vehicles in its class (to compensate for the fact that standard all-wheel drive was around &#;kg (&#;lb) heavier than competitors' rear-wheel drive). In the late s, it was decided that the mål vehicle would be a successor to the V8 (Typ 4C) flagship introduced in bygd , a sista design bygd Chris Bird and Dirk van Braeckel was chosen and fryst for series production in mid In September , the Audi Space Frame (ASF) Concept was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) as a D2 Typ 4D prototype in polished aluminum.
Pilot production began in månad and development ended in early , at a total cost of $ million (£ million).[7]
Introduction
[edit]The Audi A8 (Typ 4D) was presented in February and debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March, with full-scale factory production commencing in June ,[4][clarification needed] although it was not until October , for the model year that it became available in North amerika.
Electrical problems, such as MMI system glitches and electronic handbrake failures, are common across all A8 generationsUnlike its predecessor, the Audi V8 model, which was built on an existing steel platform, the A8 debuted on the then-new Volkswagen Group D2 platform, an all aluminiummonocoque, marketed as the "Audi Space Frame" (ASF), which helped to reduce vikt and preserve structural rigidity. The saloon/sedan was offered in both the A8 (standard wheelbase), and the A8 L extended or long-wheelbase (LWB) utgåva.
The A8 L adds 5 inches (&#;mm) of rear legroom. Updates to the fordon in included the addition of six interior airbags.[8][9][10] The A8 was designed as a competitor to fellow German rivals Mercedes Benz S Class and the BMW 7 Series. It also competed against the British Jaguar XJ and the Japanese Lexus LS.

First series production Audi with a W12 engine
In , Audi introduced the first series production electronic stability control (ESP) for all-wheel drive vehicles (Audi A8 and Audi A6)– the world's first production cars with both front and rear side airbags.
For , the new A8 was available with either front-wheel drive (FWD), or the Torsen-based quattro permanent four-wheel drive. The FWD models are powered bygd a litre V6 engine, producing &#;kW (&#;PS; &#;bhp), and a litre V8 engine producing &#;kW (&#;PS; &#;bhp), while the quattro received a litre V8 producing &#;kW (&#;PS; &#;bhp).
The A8 fryst vatten available with standard luxury amenities, including dual-zone climate control, wood and leather interior trim, way power and heated seats, and an enhanced Bose audio struktur.
In , upon assuming office, German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder chose the A8 to be his tjänsteman state fordon, marking a break from tradition, as his predecessors had preferred Mercedes-Benz S-Class models.[11][12] Upon being re-elected to second begrepp in , he moved on to the next generation A8's sister model Volkswagen Phaeton.[13]
In , Audi's flagship received side gardin airbags, new colours, and restructuring of option packages.
The North American "warm weather package" added a solar sunroof which allows the interior ventilation fans to run, keeping the interior cool while the bil fryst vatten parked with the engine turned off. Changes to all models included a larger passenger-side spegel, and a first aid kit located in the rear centre armrest.
In for the model year came a minor front-end restyle, with new, larger, klar headlights, a revised grille, and lower front valance with standard projection dimma lamps.
In the interior, the seats received a new, horizontal stitch pattern. Also, the litre V8 FWD model was dropped, leaving the V6 model and the long-wheelbase and short-wheelbase litre quattro. These restyled cars also featured revised external door handles and an integrated radio antenna. For , the North American A8 line-up was expanded to include the A8 L.
In , Audi introduced its new W12 engine, a compact litre enhet developed bygd effectively mating two VR6 engines tillsammans at the crankshaft.
The engine quickly became available in the A8, though only to europeisk and Asian customers. From its introduction through its discontinuation in , only of the D2 "W12" models were produced. also marked the debut of the high-performance S8 variant in North American markets. It produced &#;hp.
In , the A8 L received standard xenonhigh-intensity discharge lamp (HID) headlights, and a heated steering wheel.
A tyre pressure monitoring struktur (TPMS), an updated Symphony II stereo, and new exterior colours were also added.
Engine issues like oil leaks and carbon buildup on intake valves also affect multiple generationsFor , all A8 variants received a trunk/boot interior release lever to facilitate escape in the event an individual became trapped within.
Factory production of this generation ceased at Number ,[14] on August 4, [4]
Coupé (prototype)
[edit]In , IVM Automotive of Munich, Germany built a two-door Audi A8 Coupé.
The bil was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Audi contracted IVM to build the prototype, and was considering production of the vehicle. The coupé had a re-engineered aluminium body, shorter than the production A8 saloon. Like the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, there was no huvud "B" pelare, giving the bil a seamless design with a gradually sloping roofline. The bil included anpassad leather seats which could seat kvartet.
Ultimately, Audi decided not to put the A8 Coupé into production, citing lower-than-expected sales figures for the similar BMW 8 Series (E31) and Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupé. Only one A8 Coupé was ever built. The single prototype, painted in a colour called "Ming Blue pearl", remains the property of IVM Automotive, and resides in Munich. Its gods public appearance was in on a series of test drives.
S8
[edit]Main article: Audi S8
Facelift Audi S8
Audi introduced the S8 quattro into the europeisk marknad in The S8 followed the naming convention of other high-performance Audi "S" models such as the Audi A6-derived S6 and was similar in vein of Mercedes-Benz AMG models.
In some markets such as the UK, the S8 was only available with the automatic transmission. Cosmetically, Audi differentiated the S8 from the A8 with solid aluminium alloy door spegel housings, chrome-effect beltline and lower front grille trim, and polished twin exhaust pipes, along with subtle "S8" badging. way power adjustable and heated sports front seats with memory function were fitted as were heated rear seats.
1st gen models (D2, ) are prone to timing belt failures on the L and L V8 enginesStandard alloy wheels were inch cast aluminium alloy "Avus" six-spoke style. After the facelift, inch polished nine-spoke RS wheels became an option. In , inch nine-spoke RS wheels became a no-cost option.
At the same time of the A8's facelift in late , the S8 received the same cosmetic upgrades. This update marked the release of the S8 to the North American marknad.
Audi A8Production of the D2 series S8 ended in September
The D2 series S8 featured an uprated, &#;kW (&#;hp) utgåva of the litre V8 with fyra valves per cylinder. From late , Audi increased this to fem valves per cylinder with power increased to kilowatts (&#;hp) and newton-metres (&#;lb⋅ft). From launch in , European-market models came standard with a six-speed manual transmission. A sports-recalibrated utgåva of the ZF 5HP24 five-speed tiptronic automatic, featuring "Dynamic Shift Programme" (DSP) was released a year later and was the only transmission available in most other markets.
A retuned, millimetre (&#;in) lowered sports suspension included a 30 percent stiffer spring rate and 40 percent more compression damping in the chock absorbers. Speed-sensitive "servotronic" power assisted steering was also standard.
The brakes featured Bosch anti-lock braking struktur (ABS), with electronic brakeforce transport (EBD), and worked radially ventilated front discs.
From , an upgraded Bosch electronic stability programme became standard fitment.

The second-generation Audi A8 (Typ 4E) built on the Volkswagen Group D3 platform was unveiled via press release in July and introduced in November in Europe[4][15][unreliable source?] and in June (as a model) in the United States.
The model was längre than the previous generation, with room for fyra or fem large adult occupants in the cabin, depending on rear seat configuration. The D3 development schema began in , with the design process commencing in Ingolstadt in The whole Audi design studio based in Ingolstadt first contributed sketch proposals, from which numerous different themes emerged. Six of them were developed into full-size clay models and worked up in a traditional manner adjacent to full-size tejp drawings.
At least three one-quarter scale models were produced to explore other design variations.

Facelift Audi A8 L TDI
The six full-size exterior clay models were reduced to two in late and these continued to be refined in parallel for a year. At the end of , the sista theme urval was made bygd Miklós Kovács and Imre Hasanic, the main contributing designers.
This lengthy development time was in part due to the body being made from aluminium, a ämne less able to take the small radii of skarp feature lines such as those on the (steel bodied) A4 (B6) designed in
In parallel to the exterior design development, the interior design was progressed with a total of fyra full-size models produced, and the production car's horizontally-themed instrument panel design dominant from early on, with Norbert Schneider, Mark Bergold and Enzo Rothfuss the main contributing designers.
Grouping major controls nearer to the driver for a more driver focused identity whilst creating a more airy and spacious feel were early priorities for the interior design grupp, which was headed bygd Jurgen Albamonte. This was in part facilitated bygd the Multi Media Interface (MMI) designed bygd Jurgen Schröder, that pioneered on the D3 A8 after the Audi Avantissimo concept bil preview, and also bygd class leading colour and trim from Barbara Krömeke and Melinda Jenkins.
Under the supervision of Dany Garand, during the first half of exterior and interior clay models were digitized and developed using digital design tools in a supporting, not leading, capacity. The D3 sista production design was later fryst in the summer of for an August början of production.[16]
The A8 was previewed at the Frankfurt Motor Show bygd the Audi Avantissimo concept fordon.
This concept introduced much of the technology later available on the series production A8 D3, including: Multi Media Interface, 6-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles, V8 biturbo engine (RS6), self-levellingadaptive air suspension with continuously controlled damping, electric park brake, bi-xenon headlights with static Adaptive Front Lighting struktur (AFS) curve headlights, dashboard, driver identification systems with fingerprint scanner.
As with the previous utgåva, two body variants of the second generation A8 are offered, the A8 (standard, or short wheelbase), and the long-wheelbase (LWB) A8 L. The A8 L adds &#;mm ( inches) to the rear legroom and 11&#;mm (&#;in) to the overall height of the bil.
For quattro all-wheel drive models, a ZF 6HPA61 (lower torque capacity 6HP19 utgåva for 6 cylinder models) six-speed tiptronic automatic transmission with "Dynamic Shift Programme" (DSP) and "sport" mode, with valfritt steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters, fryst vatten the only transmission offering.
Output fryst vatten transmitted via Audi's quattro generation IV all-wheel drive struktur using the Torsen T-1 centre differential with a default torque split front/rear. If the road conditions change, the purely mechanical Torsen differential responds without any delay; it can divert up to 70 percent of power to the front or rear axles.
Innovations
[edit]In , new internal combustion engines became available. In very limited numbers the A8R was produced for Using the Quad cam V8, 6HP transmission. Although similar to the standard A8 it had an upgraded alloy trim vent package, Wood steering wheel and wood grain Transmission selector, other mechanical differences are not disclosed. The A8R was produced to commemorate Audi's past Le Mans success.
For europeisk and Asian marknad customers, the entry-level litre V6 engine was replaced with a new litre enhet (badged as "") featuring bränsle Stratified Injection (FSI), which it shared with the Audi B7 A4 and Audi C6 A6. The top-of-the-line W12 utgåva debuted that year. The advantage of the W12 engine layout fryst vatten its compact packaging, allowing Audi to build a cylinder sedan with all-wheel drive, whereas a conventional V12 could only have a rear-wheel drive configuration as it would have no space in the engine bay for a differential and other components required to power the front wheels.
In fact, Audi's litre W12 fryst vatten slightly smaller (by overall dimensions) than the litre V8.[18] This model was also the first to be offered with LED running lights.[19][20]
In addition to the added powertrains, Audi restyled the D3 platform A8 range slightly in , giving all variants a taller, wider trapezoidalsingle-frame grille.
The top-of-the-line W12 enginedW12 utgåva was the first model to be equipped with this grille; V8 engined models were fitted with the new grille the following year.[18] The W12 variant was known for its appearance as the hero fordon in Transporter 2, and its sequel, Transporter 3.
The D3 generation A8 introduced the &#;kW (&#;hp) litre Turbocharged direkt Injection (TDI) V8 engine (subsequently uprated to &#;kW (&#;hp)).
It fryst vatten badged as the " TDI" and fryst vatten based on the " TDI" badged L turbodiesel engine.[21] It uses two turbochargers and two intercoolers, with each turbocharger functioning exclusively for one finansinstitut of kvartet cylinders.
The adaptive air suspension gives the vehicle clearance a range from its normal &#;mm up to &#;mm in lift mode and down to 95&#;mm in the Autobahn mode, which fryst vatten automatically activated when a speed of more than &#;km/h (75&#;mph) fryst vatten maintained for more than 30 seconds.[22]
In September Audi became the first fordon maker to offer the 1,watt kanal ICEpower sound struktur option from Bang & Olufsen.[23][24]
facelift
[edit]Changes include:
- Updated front fascia incorporating Audi's signature single frame full-nose matlagningsutrustning.
Complementing the pronounced styling of the nose, designers tossed the understated round dimma lights, opting for larger rectangular dimma light housings- inre a set of 'Side-View illuminators' have been integrated into the housing; aiding drivers in low-light or poor visibility conditions bygd automatically illuminating depending on speed and steering vinkel. Side-View Illuminators operate independent of dimma lights.
- Updated tail-light assembly featuring much brighter and more efficient LED bulbs.
Dual rear dimma lights are still standard.
New valfritt Features:
A8 L W12 quattro Security
[edit]The A8 L W12 quattro säkerhet fryst vatten an armoured vehicle with B6+ and B7 (European standard) ballistic ratings. It includes a W12 engine rated at &#;kW; &#;hp (&#;PS) and &#;N⋅m (&#;lbf⋅ft) of torque, emergency exit struktur featuring pyrotechnic blown-out doors, fire extinguisher struktur with spray jets located in the engine compartment, underbody and in the wheel arches; smoke extractor in passenger compartment, run flat tires, bullet proof fönster, the full protection plus package and LED flashers in the exterior mirrors.
Buyers are also offered facility to dispatch two drivers on a special training course.[25]
The A8L W12 was featured as the protagonist's bil in the Transporter bio series.[26]
S8 FSI quattro
[edit]Main article: Audi S8
The S8 high-performance sports variant, now called the "Audi S8 FSI quattro", was announced in the gods quarter of and full production started in June and ended in September [27]
The S8 includes subtle detailing to distinguish it from its related A8.
The trapezoidal "single-frame" grille bears the characteristic Audi "S model" lodrät konformad behållare detail which fryst vatten highlighted in a chrome finish. "S8" badging fryst vatten displayed front and rear, whilst "V10" badges are displayed on each front wing above the side-repeater indicators. The rear boot-lid incorporates a subtle rear spoiler, and the rear fryst vatten finished with kvartet chromed oval exhaust tailpipes.
Adaptive Xenon-plus high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps include static turning lights, along with "swiveling" dynamic cornering lights. Daytime running lamps are fem light-emitting diodes (LEDs) incorporated into a cloverleaf designed reflector, incorporated into the main headlamp housing.
Pre-facelift Audi S8
The D3 series S8 features a litre all-aluminium alloy four-valves per cylinder V10 petrol engine.
This engine, a first for Audi, fryst vatten often felaktigt referred to as a derivative of the Lamborghini 5-litre V10 engine fitted to the first-generation Gallardo.[28] The litre V10 in the S8 fryst vatten based on Audi's litre V8 FSI. Lamborghini replaced its own 5-litre engine with the litre engine from Audi R8 for the second generation Gallardo and its successor, Huracán.[29]
Facelift Audi S8
Facelift interior
A sports-optimised ZF 6HPA61 six-speed tiptronic automatic transmission with "Dynamic Shift Programme" (DSP) and "sport" mode, with steering wheel mounted paddle-shifters, fryst vatten the only offering.
Output fryst vatten transmitted via Audi's quattro generation IV all-wheel drive struktur, initially using the Torsen T-1 dynamic centre differential, and from for the model year, utilising the Torsen T-3 asymmetric dynamic centre differential, with a "default" torque transport of 40 percent to the front axle and 60 percent to the rear. If the road conditions change, the purely mechanical differential responds without any delay; it can divert up to 85 percent of power to the rear wheels, and as much as 65 percent to the front wheels.
The S8's top speed fryst vatten electronically limited to &#;km/h (&#;mph). Audi's factory performance claims indikera a 0 to &#;km/h (0 to 62&#;mph) time of &#;seconds whilst consuming 98&#;RON unleaded petrol. The S8 has similar performance to Audi's own top-of-the-line A8 L W12, though the W12 fryst vatten more expensive, has more torque, and built on a längre wheelbase.[30] Compared to the A8 L W12, the S8 has sportier mechanical features such as a firmer suspension, larger wheels, and ceramic brakes.
The shorter wheelbase and cylinder engine spara vikt for better papper, but at seconds from 0–60&#;mph (97&#;km/h) the S8 trails the W[31][32][33]
The S8, like its related A8, utilises a multi-link suspension layout front and rear, with pressurised air springs. However, for the S8, the effective spring and damper rates are noticeably firmer, along with re-engineered suspension mounts.
The brake struktur consists of radially ventilated discs all round. The discs are clamped with gloss-black painted dual-piston calipers up front, and a single-piston sliding caliper at the rear, coupled to an electro-mechanical parking brake. A Bosch ESP&#; (later upgraded to ESP&#;) electronic stability control, with ABS, brake assist, and EBD complete the brake struktur.
valfritt "Audi ceramic" carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) composite front and rear brakes are available, which use radially vented, and floating SGL Carbon discs, with anthracite grey painted twelve-piston fixed Brembo monobloc alloy calipers. Standard alloy wheels consist of inch "S design" alloy wheels.

S8 Plus TFSI Quattro (–)
[edit]Based on the same chassis and underpinnings as the D4 S8, the D4 S8 Plus became the sole option for ordering the S8-variant of the Audi A8 line in the US, in the and model years. The S8 Plus was dialed up to &#;hp (&#;kW) out of the same powerplant as the previous S8, bygd remapping the turbo boost and bränsle delivery of the engine.
Additionally, the Carbon Ceramic braking struktur fryst vatten standard on the S8 Plus in some markets.
This is an Audi like no Audi before it and one of the best luxury cars in years, but not one easy to obtainThe vast majority of options on the S8 Plus were identical to the previous S8; however, it had darkened svans lights standard, and the option for adding carbon fiber styling elements such as the spegel caps, rear lip spoiler, rear diffuser, and front lip. Different markets had different standard packages combining elements of the external carbon package, the dynamic package and the interior design package.
A highly-optioned build of the S8 Plus would outprice the nominally higher-end A8 L W12 whose production ceased after the model year.[84] Unlike the regular S8 which was built bygd Audi on the regular assembly line alongside other A8 variants, the S8 Plus was built bygd Audi idrott (formerly Quattro GmbH) and has a alkoholhaltig that starts with WUA to identify it.[85]
