distinction,

the distinctive.

It all started with a vision for what Audi stands for, and it became a statement of what we believe. With the A8 L, we’ve crafted our ﬂagship. The pinnacle of engineering and design—from the gleaming illumination of the full LED headlights, graceful proportions and Singleframe® grille to its powerfully assured performance and precision handling. Whether you are moved by its sophisticated technologies or the sculpted power of a standard 333-hp 3.0-liter TFSI® V6 or an available 450-hp 4.0-liter TFSI V8 engine, this is a vehicle propelled by the passion of distinguished drivers— and driven by the vision of passionate engineers.

Always in our Sunday best.

2017 Audi A8 L 3.0T shown in Florett Silver metallic with available equipment.

Casual isn’t in our vocabulary. Audi designers are deliberate in making conﬁdent decisions to craft meticulous exterior designs. The Audi A8 L is a work of modern art, apparent in the sleek elegance of the strong lines that highlight the performance capabilities of this vehicle. Attention to detail is demonstrated in the shoulder line, which stretches the design language from the headlights to the taillights, conveying a sense of prestige and virtue in vehicle design that will help keep the A8 L and the driver looking and feeling on point.

Give peace of

mind a chance.

We understand that you can’t control everything you experience on the road. That’s why the Audi A8 L was engineered with ten standard airbags1and advanced Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with a secondary collision brake assist feature. The A8 L oers ASF® aluminum construction that provides strength, resilience and crumple zones that help mitigate potential injuries.

1 Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy in all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.

Because you

know what success

feels like.

High-caliber craftsmanship pays dividends in a sophisticated interior that was designed for comfort and feel. Thoughtful ingenuity in arrangement starts with the wraparound curve of the dashboard that spans the entire driving environment. Once seated, you will experience comfort from all sides with details such as dual-pane acoustic glass, which helps reduce outside noise and regulate desired interior temperature with the help of four-zone automatic climate control, and an available heated steering wheel. While you’re at it, feel free to relax, as the elegant yacht-inspired gear selector allows your hand to rest while you operate the MMI® system.

Room for the

finer things.

Once you’ve basked in the absolute comfort of the Audi A8 L, niceties will soon turn into necessities. The ample interior includes thoughtful details, reﬁned materials and overall sophistication that deﬁne your driving experience. Lounge in a peaceful sanctuary provided by ambient LED lighting, and ease into available 22-way driver and front-passenger comfort seats with ventilation and massage function. And let your passengers equally enjoy the ride with the available Rear Seat Comfort package with power outboard rear seats with lumbar adjustment, ventilation and massage functions plus front-passenger power seat adjustment from the rear. Each time yo u enter the cabin of the A8 L, you will feel that you are in a true executive sedan.

Conﬁdence is a draw—and a result. The sophisticated performance of the Audi A8 L is enhanced by either a supercharged 3.0-liter TFSI® V6 or an available turbocharged

4.0-liter TFSI V8 engine with cylinder on demand™ engine eciency technology1and an eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission. With the road-gripping capability of the quattro® all-wheel drive system applying that power, driving the A8 L can feel as conﬁdent as its engineering.

In the case of the propulsive Audi S8 plus, the plus means we’ve

packed more than 151 horsepower per liter into this singular vehicle.

Outperforming even our own lofty expectations of what sport performance

can be, the S8 plus boasts an incredible 605 hp and up to 553 lb-ft of

torque with overboost in its 4.0-liter TFSI® V8 engine, getting you from

0–60 mph in a mere 3.7 seconds. Adding to its impressive credentials,

Audi adaptive air suspension and dynamic steering have been retuned to

// Audi adaptive air suspension

Precise handling meets true comfort. The reengineered sport-tuned Audi adaptive air suspension allows for speed-dependent lowering of the body, resulting in a lower center of gravity that helps improve your directional stability. Speed or driver-selectable control logic adjusts the air suspension springs at all four wheels, adjusting the suspension in milliseconds.

1 Tires are supplied and warranted by their manufacturer. High-performance tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy, or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires, which oer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended winter or all-season tire speciﬁed for your car or its equivalent. These high-performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in order to avoid tire, rim, or vehicle damage, it is important that the inﬂation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at optimum levels. Please alsoremember in making your selection that, whilethese tires deliver responsive handling, theymay ride less comfortably and make morenoise than other choices. Finally,these tires may wear more quickly thanother choices. 2 MMI®navigation plus depends on signals from theworldwide 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 routesin locating addresses, destinations and other points of interest. Changes in street names, construction zones, trac 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.

Your mileage will vary and depends on several factors, including your driving habits and vehicle condition. 2 Top track speed is electronically limited in the U.S. Always obey all speed and trac laws. 3 Never drive until the tank is completely empty.The irregular supply of fuel that results from that can cause engine misﬁres. Uncombusted fuel will then enter the exhaust system. This can cause overheating and damage to the catalytic converter.
