The Audi A8
Elegant and luxurious, the Audi A8 radiates confidence and poise. There’s a generous amount of cabin space, with
opulent interior materials and equipment to deliver the ultimate driver and passenger comfort. Enhancing the driving
dynamics is the latest generation Audi Space Frame ASF
handling and agility thanks to its lightweight aluminium construction.
A wide choice of engines are available, including the optimised 3.0 TDI and 4.2 litre powerhouses. The extensive use of
magnesium and aluminium components reduces engine weight to below 190kg, both aiding propulsion and reducing
fuel consumption for an altogether more rewarding drive. The Audi A8 also features adaptive air suspension with
variable damping – a system that automatically adjusts the suspension according to different road situations,
guaranteeing a superb drive on any surface. Equally intuitive is the Multi Media Interface (MMI) – an integrated control
logic which puts communications, entertainment and vehicle settings at your fingertips.

– an incredibly rigid structure which increases safety,

Engines
PetrolDiesel
There are two kinds of engine available on this model – the W12 petrol engine
and the FSI
®
direct-injection engine. FSI®is a unique Audi technology,
originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race to deliver
increased power and torque as well as enhanced fuel efficiency. The way it
does this is, in theory, very simple. Fuel is injected directly into the
combustion chambers, ‘unthrottling’ the engine, reducing heat-loss and
increasing output – all whilst reducing fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions. Ideal for the buyer who wants a sporty, exhilarating drive without
the drawbacks of excessive fuel costs or high emissions-based taxation.
All diesel engines from Audi are known as TDI
pioneered by Audi in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines
of the past. Like its FSI
performance, with low fuel consumption and CO
®
TDI
engine is based upon precision and compression. A turbocharger supplies fresh air to
®
petrol counterpart, the TDI®diesel engine is designed for power and
®
. This impressive technology was originally
2 emissions. The working principle of the
the engine, ensuring optimum filling of the cylinder. Immediately after compression, an
injector then delivers fuel into the combustion chambers at a very high pressure. The
result – you get the most in terms of performance and economy from every drop of fuel
that enters the tank.

Permanent all-wheel-drive
Cars that deliver as much pulling power as the Audi A8 and S8 need a harness in
place – a technology that delivers safety and control whilst enhancing the sporty
characteristics which make them so thrilling to drive. That’s why quattro
all-wheel-drive comes as standard on all A8 and S8 models (except the 3.2 FSI
®
2.8 FSI
models). The principle is simple: in the same way that four brakes ensure better
®
permanent
®
and
deceleration, four permanently-driven wheels deliver better acceleration and roadholding. On quattro
®
models, drive power is continuously distributed between the
front and rear axles depending on weather conditions, road surface and gradient. And
what better technology to feature on this sporty model than the one that has given
Audi the edge on the racetrack ever since it was first introduced over 25 years ago?

S8 quattro®model equipment – in addition to SE models:
The Audi S8 takes the style and refinement found in the Audi A8 and transforms it with an array
of sporting features. First, the engine. A colossally powerful 5.2 FSI
®
, 450PS powerhouse,
capable of reaching 62mph in just 5.1 seconds. Hardly surprising, however, considering that
this V10 FSI®was developed in conjunction with the supercar specialists at Lamborghini.
Second, the interior. It includes supremely comfortable, bi-colour leather electric Sports seats,
3-spoke Sports steering wheel, an aluminium gear-lever and HDD-based Navigation system,
controlled via the MMI’s 7-inch colour screen. A Bang & Olufsen Sound System can even be
included as an option. Add Alcantara roof lining, a BOSE
®
sound system and power closing
doors, and the Audi S8 leaves very little to be desired.
Third, the exterior. Over 5 metres long, with its imposing single-frame grille, integrated rear
spoiler and massive 20-inch ‘S’ style alloy wheels, the Audi S8 is unique – an elegant Saloon
with the character of a supercar.

Audi ServicingCO2 data and information
Servicing tailored to your needs
Prior to the 2000 model year, almost all Audi models followed
a traditional fixed Service Schedule similar to that of other
major car manufacturers: a Lubrication Service every 10,000
miles and an Inspection Service every 12 months or 20,000
miles – whichever occurred sooner. Since then, Audi has
introduced a more flexible maintenance system that works
in accordance with how, where and how much an individual
uses their car.
The two Servicing Regimes available are the conventional
‘Inspection Service Regime’ and the flexible ‘LongLife Service
Regime’. When you purchase a new car, we will recommend
one of these regimes to you depending on your own
individual driving style and journey-type. The tables below
should give you an indication of which regime might be more
appropriate for you.
With the LongLife Service Regime, on-board sensors
continuously monitor the condition of the engine oil in terms
of temperature, level and oil degradation. The monitoring
system also checks mileage, brake-pad wear and battery
condition. Using this information, the car’s on-board
Inspection Service ScheduleLongLife Service Regime
Vehicle usage:
MileageLess than 10,000* miles per annum
Type of journeyMainly city/town centre driving. Short journeys
ConditionsFrequent cold starts.
Driving styleUneconomical – e.g. heavy acceleration, heavy
High engine loading – e.g. frequent hill climbs,
vehicle fully loaded, towing
braking, constant changes in speed, constant
use of high revs, ’sporty’ driving
computer calculates its own maintenance interval, providing
you with ample warning of a due Service via the ‘distance to
Service’ display.
In practice, this means that every Audi gets the maintenance
it needs, when it needs it. For companies and private owners
alike, there are many advantages to the LongLife Service
Regime. Longer service intervals mean lower maintenance
costs, and thus lower whole-life costs. According to company
car mileage monitored at Audi since the introduction of
LongLife, petrol engines are typically achieving an average of
at least 17,500 miles and diesel engines around 20,000 miles
between services.
One of the factors that makes this kind of servicing regime
possible is the advanced engineering and technology that goes
into Audi engines. Furthermore, Audi use high-grade long-life
oils such as Castrol SLX LongLife III, which are designed to
withstand ageing and high loads without deterioration.
Compared to conventional oils, these advanced-formulation oils
also give exceptional levels of engine protection, are kinder to
the environment and deliver average fuel savings of 2.7%.
MileageMore than 30 miles per day
Type of journeyMotorway and main road driving. Mainly
ConditionsNormal engine loading – e.g. with little or no
towing, with little or no hill climbs. Normal
