Intelligence is the driving force of luxury.
Boasting sophisticated technologies and driver assistance systems, the Audi A8 is leading the way for all there is to come.
Engineered to offer peerless levels of comfort, precise detail, and innovative design,
the elegant and prestigious stance of the A8 sets itself apart in its class.
The illumination innovations have been designed around dynamic lighting.
The OLED taillights are precise and thin. 200 times thinner than a human hair.
This allows for more flexibility within the integration of the body of the A8.
Light is moving and changing character on both the front and rear lights.
They bring individual character and a unique identity to the Audi A8.
Inside the A8 it becomes clear, this is the pinnacle of luxury.
Every stitch is perfected, every surface scrutinized from the wrap around black panel to the motion of the air vents.
The rear has a wireless control system to operate most of the cars functions while foot massagers allow you to relax during a commute.
Matrix LED interior lights allow for an increased level of interior cabin lighting control.
Building off the intuitive use of smart phones, while utilizing two touch screens with haptic and acoustic feedback;
the Audi MMI redefines interactivity in a luxury car.
Touch response in the MMI is a modern, intuitive interface that maximizes control of navigation, settings, and infotainment
while minimizing buttons, switches and clutter.
The virtual 3D view lets the driver use the touch screen to rotate and zoom the image of the car and the actual vehicle surroundings.
The next generation of Audi connect introduces connected navigation, 3D city models with predictive routing
and a more refined natural language selection system.
The new dynamic all wheel steering system connects the driver to the road like never before.
Steering wheel feedback automatically balances for comfort while cruising
and provides more responsive control while driving dynamically.
Rear wheel steering turns the rear wheels up to five degrees, giving the long wheel base A8 a turing radius similar to a much smaller A4.
The A8 introduces a revolutionary active suspension system that has to be felt to be believed.
Predictive sensing anticipates hazards ahead, allowing actuators at each wheel to adjust the suspension in real time,
providing a smoother ride that changes the expectations of driving comfort.
The A8 has a higher level of energy requirements to power these systems as well.
The 48 volt mild hybrid system accomplishes this and more such as a smoother start/stop system then previously possible.
The Audi A8 brings a host of driver assistance systems that are a first for the brand.
Adaptive Cruise Assist eases the stress of the road at all normal highway speeds with active lane sensing stop and go, and steering guidance.
The Audi pre sense 360 safety system detects collision hazards all around the car and initiates specific preventive measures.
Using the active suspension system with pre-sense 360, if an imminent collision from the side is detected,
the suspension will raise the side of the car several inches to allow the stronger areas of the frame to absorb the impact,
significantly reducing the severity of potential impact.
Intersection Assist brings the functionality of rear cross traffic to the front of the car, providing warnings and braking if a hazard from the side is detected.
Dynamic, intelligent, with cutting edge technology that redefines luxury's credentials, the Audi A8.
