When you were a kid, you probably
felt quite proud when you completed a model kit. We understand.
At Audi, it takes countless hours
for a single Audi to go from idea to
design to roadworthy, and that’s
time we are very proud to devote.
Our obsession for detail, commit-
ment to premium fit and finish and passion for unparalleled engineering go into every model. It’s the kind of
discipline that the word “painstaking” was invented to
describe. Not to say it’s a chore—no, assembling an Audi
is a labor of love, and it shows every time you sit in one,
engage the ignition and nudge the accelerator. Creating
an Audi isn’t easy, but the results help define what Audi
means to the people who drive one.

OUR REPUTATION HINGES ON THE QUALITY OF THINGS YOU DON’T SEE.
It’s said that, when one door closes,
another one opens. It sounds as if
whoever said it spent some time at
an Audi research and development
facility. After all, while you’ll open
and close the door on your Audi
thousands of times without thinking about it, we’ve obsessed about
it for you, in detail. Not just about
the reliability of it opening and
closing, but on the proper weight that will make it more pleasing to close.
How the locks should click when they are engaged. The optimal acoustic
placement for the speaker port. There are the hinges too, of course. And
the door itself, which we designed to take the brunt of side-impact collisions, and several dozen other safety considerations (to say nothing of the
countless other components, processors, sensors, window features and
the inner workings most people will never see). Our doors are more than a
symbol of welcoming you into your vehicle, they are products of Audi engineering, and the very perception of Audi hinges on them as much as our
hinges help support the door.

Torque vectoring_
By independently braking the inside cornering wheels, torque is then transferred to
the outside cornering wheels. This intelligent application of power, known as torque
vectoring, is available on select quattro®
models and helps promote neutral handling
by calculating the driver’s steering input
and desired level of acceleration.

Sport di erential_
To help ensure high cornering agility, the

vectoring, and then adds to that by mechanically applying additional torque to the
outside rear cornering wheel. Through an
electrohydraulic multiplate clutch pack and
gear-set, the outside rear cornering wheel

quattro® HAS MAINTAINED ITS GRIP ON OUR THINKING AND THE ROADS WE TRAVEL.
For more than 30 years, Audi has been
focused on quattro® all-wheel drive.
During that time, it has evolved into
an overarching idea of performance, a
technological system of ratios, power
delivery and driving dynamics working seamlessly together, orchestrated
through the drivetrain, providing power where and when it is needed most.
1 When driving during cold, rainy, snowy or icy weather conditions, ensure that your vehicle is equipped with appropriate all-season or winter tires. Even with appropriate tires, you must always
drive in a manner appropriate for the weather, visibility and road conditions.
In many ways, this has been a three-decade drive, from the Alps to the autobahn—
and points beyond. You’ve seen quattro® capabilities in the way we dominated
the World Rally Championship for years, in the grip you have in inclement weather,
and in the variable power distribution you enjoy in good conditions.
1
For more than
30 years, and with over fi ve million quattro® systems on the road, we have continued to refi ne the technology, developing an available rear sport di erential to
help maximize performance and available torque vectoring to assist with cornering
traction while helping to improve handling. We’ve boldly stuck to what worked
while the world was trying to catch up, and we built on it.

ENGINEERING POWER IS MORE THAN JUST ADDING MUSCLE.
There is an art to fitness. Yes, there
are some who go for the massive,

is something more compelling out

tastes. The kind of sculpted eciency found in Audi engines elevates
the driving experience through
smaller, finely tuned forced-in-

unwanted pounds. Sure, large numbers might distract some, but a champion impresses with its grace, power and athletic balance—captured in the
right suspension setting, or a torque-vectored corner. Audi engineers shape
power that celebrates a true dedication to craft. It means strength that
pulses at the moment of acceleration, provides a true, quick response as you

The FSI direct injection fuel system directly injects fuel
into the combustion chambers at precisely managed times

homogenized intake charge helps increase power while
also reducing fuel consumption and emissions, making

At Audi, TFSI represents a combination of two of the brand’s
core areas of expertise—direct injection and forced induction. By adding turbocharging or supercharging to FSI direct

ELEPHANT SKULL_

How nature solved the apparent conundrum of an elephant’s skull didn’t escape the notice
of Heinrich Timm, the longtime lead engineer for Audi. The weight of the tusks and the
general size of an elephant’s head would seem to make it impossible for the animal to
actually be able to carry it. But the design genius behind the elephant’s skull is to make
it lightweight yet sturdy. Its predominantly hollow design is bu ered by thin, connective
bone walls, which act as strong, weight-bearing cells. Audi designers used that idea when
building our aluminum and steel structures. Reducing weight, yet enabling strength.

The alchemy needed to build an automotive icon is elusive. Sure, it’s found, partly, on an assembly line, with committed artisans taking pride in every stitch they oversee. It’s also on a
drafting board, sketched by visionaries looking to further expand what we look for in automotive
design lines. But it’s also in the countless inspirations, ones little and large, that not only capture a bold thought or striking idea, but execute them. Examples of these can be found in the
foundational stories we tell about our company and our vehicles. These stories show how an
abstract idea can turn into a powerful, sculpted machine, and then how that machine can help
forge an iconic reputation for a brand. Out of the inspirations we find in engineering, art and the
large world of ideas, we have created a fearless, iconic company of substance and luxury: Audi.

You’re the type that dreams big, then goes out there and achieves it. Now comes the time to express all that you’ve

highlight its luxurious proportions, while also giving it a modern, sleek elegance. Looking closer, you might also notice
the considerable obsession put into the finest details, the character line running along the roof, linking front and rear,
or the precise shoulder line and wide, shaded edge, adding to the naturalistic flow of a design that seamlessly extends
from the headlights through the body and into the rear deck lid. But while the A8 can be appreciated as sculpture, it’s
not meant to be placed on a pedestal. It engages, enlivens and demands to be driven. It is design as design is meant
to be—something intended to elicit an emotional response, while conveying a sense of prestige and distinction, not to

Torque vectoring
InformationProvidedby:
It’s a handling feature so quick that it seems to
respond to your impulses instead of your steering
input. An evolution of cross-axle lock, this system
works within quattro® all-wheel drive, utilizing
ESC and ABS to help sense traction loss from the
inside cornering tire.
A little added confidence
can help
you in
powerfully steer
the right direction.
There’s an elegant sense of assurance when you are in control. In the case of quattro®
all-wheel drive, the elegance is created by a sophisticated system developed by Audi engineers to help you with the ability to gain more control when road and weather conditions
aren’t their best.1 Through enhanced grip on twisting mountain roads and powder-dusted
streets—to say nothing of the precision you’ll feel in taking corners in perfect conditions—
quattro® works with drivers who want peace of mind as much as power. Because it was
built and honed to transfer the necessary amount of power to the appropriate wheels
when accelerating and turning,2 quattro® helps enhance Audi performance, but the real
story just might be how quattro® helps engineer confidence in good drivers.
Seasonal stability
Sport dierential
To help ensure high cornering stability, the
available sport dierential uses torque vectoring, and then adds to that by mechanically applying additional torque to the outside
rear cornering wheel. Through an electrohydraulic multiplate clutch pack and gear-set,
the outside rear cornering wheel speed is
increased by as much as 10%.
There is a reason quattro® all-wheel drive is a
friend in foul weather.
conditions, the center dierential splits torque
at a ratio of 40:60 front to rear, but as conditions change and become more challenging,
the ratio is optimized to help maximize grip.

Under normal driving
85:1530:70
When accelerating, power is
shifted to the rear wheels for
extra rear traction.
1 When driving during cold, rainy, snowy or icy weather conditions, ensure that your vehicle is equipped with appropriate all-season or winter tires. Even with appropriate tires,
you must always drive in a manner appropriate for the weather, visibility and road conditions. 2 Always obey all speed and trac laws.
Power out
Torque vectoring distributes power to the
outside wheels when turning, helping give
you added control in the corners.
Under normal driving conditions,
power slightly favors the rear axle.
quattro® seamlessly transfers
power as needed as driving
conditions change.
When traction is limited at either axle,
power is shifted to the axle with the

3.0 TFSI® V6
The 333 horsepower 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine is paired
with direct injection and a belt-driven supercharger
that has counter-rotating four-vane rotors. Spinning at
speeds of up to 23,000 rpm, the rotors force air through
dual intercoolers, then through the intake runners, at
boosted pressures of up to 11.6 psi. It is this combination
of engineering achievements that allows for a nearly instantaneous buildup of 325 lb-ft of torque directly off of
idle engine speeds. The result? Fuel savings you wouldn’t
expect, and the kind of performance you should.

TDI® clean diesel V6
With 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque on tap, the 3.0-liter
TDI® clean diesel engine’s elasticity in the passing lane
is almost as impressive as its ability to take on even
the longest road trips. And with features like AdBlue®
exhaust after-treatment helping to make every journey
a little cleaner, this is a performance win for all sides.
1 See www.fueleconomy.gov for EPA estimates. Your mileage will vary, and depends on several factors, including your driving habits and vehicle condition.
Waste not, get more.
When Audi engineers set out to develop four equally impressive powerplants, there was more to their
task than just coaxing the most horsepower and torque out of every liter of displacement. They also
needed to ensure every stroke of the piston, whether in the responsive TDI® clean diesel engine or in the
remarkably powerful 6.3 FSI® W12 engine, was choreographed precisely to help ensure that not a drop
of fuel was left unused.1 As it turns out, meeting this challenge not only resulted in less waste, but also
enhanced performance.
Start-stop eciency system
It’s pretty simple. Under certain driving conditions, the A8
3.0T, TDI® and 4.0T model’s engine will shut o when
the vehicle is stopped. The engine will restart before you
fully take your foot o the brake or if other critical vehicle
systems require it, so your performance is not hindered.
Fuel for thought.
InformationProvidedby:
We thought you should know: Diesel sports a greater power density than traditional gasoline, which means that a gallon of diesel fuel has about
15% more energy than a comparable amount of gas, and combusts more eciently in the engine. The TDI® clean diesel engine available in the A8
has achieved ultra-low emissions vehicle (Bin-5/ULEV II) status in all 50 states while producing approximately 14.3% fewer CO2 emissions than its
comparable gasoline-fueled engine.1 And the brainy attributes don’t hide the brawn—in fact, Audi has dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the
years with TDI® prototype race cars. With these facts in mind, maybe you are thinking that a TDI® might be your choice—which goes to show that
clean diesel really is fuel for thought.

Driver Assistance
We’re solving problems
before you even know you
have them.
Audi adaptive cruise control with stop & go
Using long range radar and a camera, the available Audi
adaptive cruise control with stop & go not only helps retain
a preset distance from vehicles ahead, but resumes acceleration when you’re ready. It can even bring the vehicle to a
full stop before accelerating when trac flow resumes.
Audi strives to constantly up the ante on the driver assistance tools built right into the Audi A8, and they’re
all designed to work in tandem with you, wherever you go. Whether it’s available advanced technologies
like night vision assistant that uses infrared technology to help you spot pedestrians and large animals on
the road, or radar sensors that Audi side assist utilizes to inform you of vehicles approaching from the side
and rear, you’ll find that we’ve developed them to work together to help keep you aware of your surroundings. The whole suite of available driver assistance features can be found in the A8. It’s another testament
to the eort Audi puts into helping ensure that you’re not the only one keeping an eye on the road.
Audi active lane assist
Operating at speeds above 38 mph, this available system
helps detect when the vehicle begins to leave the lane
without signaling. Then, through gentle, corrective steering
eorts, it helps the vehicle remain in the lane and vibrates
the steering wheel as an additional warning. This way, Audi
active lane assist complements the driver’s decision-making process and further solidifies the bond between driver
and machine.
Audi pre sense® plus
The available Audi pre sense plus oers comprehensive
driving assistance with sensors in the front, side and rear.
After visual, physical and aural collision warnings, there
are four distinct phases for automatic preparation for the
unavoidable: an upsurge of brake pressure, safety belt
pretensioning, partial braking, and sunroof and window
preparation. In severe cases, Audi pre sense plus will
engage full braking and deceleration.
The available Audi side assist uses radar
sensors and two dierent optical warnings
to help keep the driver informed about what
is approaching from hard-to-see angles
behind and to the side of the vehicle.
Night vision assistant
Using infrared technology to detect what lies ahead, this
available feature uses thermal-imaging technology to
help you avoid trouble. Pedestrians and larger animals can
be detected over 300 feet in front of the vehicle, while
objects can be spotted over 900 feet ahead—all shown on
the 7" color driver information system.
Top and corner view cameras
Four cameras on this available technology allow for an
overhead view of your surroundings, making parking just a
little easier. The technology shows you where your vehicle
is in relation to obstacles nearby, helping give you the confidence to maneuver in practically any environment.
Head-up display

Heavy thinking on
lightweight technology.
A little give requires a lot of strength.
Audi engineers don’t equate strength with size. Big is just big—strong is a more flexible concept. While you may not think about
weight savings when it comes to strength, we’d like you to take a second and think again. The ASF® aluminum construction
developed by Audi engineers, and utilized in the Audi A8, is a revolution in lightweight technology. It oers an innovative
approach to both weight savings and strength as part of the ultra® lightweight technologies. The ten standard airbags in the
A8 rely on a technology that is designed to respond dierently based on seat position, and specially constructed crumple zones
give way upon impact to help mitigate potential injury in a collision.1 All of this, combined with the rigidity of laser seam-welded
joints that enhance the strength of every Audi we make, helps diminish the impact of an unavoidable event.
Passive safety refers to all dedicated measures that help protect the vehicle’s occupants
against injury. The passive safety measures in
the A8 include its safety belt system, ten airbags, the rigid occupant cell and crumple zones
at the front and rear of the vehicle.

luxury, from headlights to taillights. We haven’t left anything to the imagination, and have insisted on incorporating only the most brilliant features throughout the A8. Attention to every detail inspired us to design LED
lighting technology into the taillights, as we did with the full LED headlights, to continue the bold statement
we’ve committed to throughout the vehicle. The LED taillights punctuate our commitment to designing a vehicle
that inspires you from end to end. Everyone knows when an Audi is approaching—now it’s clearer than ever
when one passes you by.

1MMI® navigation plus depends on signals from the worldwide Global Positioning Satellite network. The vehicle’s electrical system and existing wireless and satellite technologies must be available and operating properly for the system to function. The system is designed to provide you with suggested routes in locating addresses, destinations and
other points of interest. Changes in street names, construction zones, trac flow, points of interest and other road system changes are beyond the control of Audi of America, Inc. Complete detailed mapping of lanes, roads, streets, toll roads, highways, etc., is not possible, therefore you may encounter discrepancies between the mapping and your
actual location. Please rely on your individual judgment in determining whether or not to follow a suggested MMI® navigation plus route. For mapping updates please see your Audi dealer or call 1-800-FOR-AUDI for details. 2 Always pay careful attention to the road, and do not drive while distracted. The features and technologies discussed above are
optional, may require an additional subscription with separate terms and conditions, and should be used only when it is safe and appropriate. The Wi-Fi® hotspot feature is intended for passenger use only. 3 SiriusXM Satellite Radio and SiriusXM Trac subscriptions are sold separately or as a package after trial period and are continuous until you call
SiriusXM to cancel. See Customer Agreement for complete terms and more information at www.siriusxm.com. SiriusXM Trac service available in select markets. SiriusXM U.S. Satellite Service available only to those in the 48 contiguous U.S.A., D.C. and Puerto Rico (with coverage limitations). 4 Some Audi models are equipped with a keyless ignition
feature. The details as to how the system works can vary, and Audi owners should consult their owner’s literature or an authorized Audi dealer if they have further questions about the operation of this feature. Please note that Audi warns against leaving the vehicle unattended with the engine running, particularly in enclosed spaces. 5 High-performance
tires are designed for better performance and handling in warm climates. When driving in cold, snowy or icy weather, you should equip your vehicle with four all-season or winter tires, which oer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the Audi-recommended winter or all-season tires specified for your Audi. High-performance tires
also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling. Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles, can cause serious damage to wheels, tires, vehicle body and suspension parts. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-profile tires.
Please also remember when making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than others. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. It is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at recommended levels.

1 MMI® navigation plus depends on signals from the worldwide Global Positioning Satellite network. The vehicle’s electrical system and existing wireless and satellite technologies must be available and operating properly for the system to function. The system is designed to provide you with suggested routes in locating addresses, destinations and other
points of interest. Changes in street names, construction zones, trac flow, points of interest and other road system changes are beyond the control of Audi of America, Inc. Complete detailed mapping of lanes, roads, streets, toll roads, highways, etc., is not possible, therefore you may encounter discrepancies between the mapping and your actual location.
Please rely on your individual judgment in determining whether or not to follow a suggested MMI® navigation plus route. For mapping updates please see your Audi dealer or call 1-800-FOR-AUDI for details. 2 See Audi connect® page for important information regarding Audi connect®. 3 SiriusXM Satellite Radio and SiriusXM Trac subscriptions are
sold separately or as a package after trial period and are continuous until you call SiriusXM to cancel. See Customer Agreement for complete terms and more information at www.siriusxm.com. SiriusXM Trac service available in select markets. SiriusXM U.S. Satellite Service available only to those in the 48 contiguous U.S.A., D.C. and Puerto Rico (with
coverage limitations). 4 Requires compatible device. 5 Some Audi models are equipped with a keyless ignition feature. The details as to how the system works can vary, and Audi owners should consult their owner’s literature or an authorized Audi dealer if they have further questions about the operation of this feature. Please note that Audi warns
against leaving the vehicle unattended with the engine running, particularly in enclosed spaces.
