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® ­ an incredibly rigid structure which increases safety, 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. 5 Engines Petrol 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. Diesel All diesel engines from Audi are known as TDI®. This impressive technology was originally pioneered by Audi in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines of the past. Like its FSI® petrol counterpart, the TDI® diesel engine is designed for power and performance, with low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The working principle of the TDI® engine is based upon precision and compression. A turbocharger supplies fresh air to 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. 6 ® 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® permanent all-wheel-drive comes as standard on all A8 and S8 models (except the 3.2 FSI® and 2.8 FSI® models). The principle is simple: in the same way that four brakes ensure better 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? 7 SE model equipment All A8 and S8 models have the following items of Standard equipment: Wheels, tyres and suspension 17 x 8J `7-spoke' alloy wheels with 235/55 R17 Y tyres Full size spare wheel* Safety and security Advanced Key ­ access and authorisation system through automatic data exchange between key and vehicle, allowing the key to remain in the driver's pocket or bag at all times.

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.

A continuously variable transmission, multitronic® can transmit up to 310 Nm of torque and permits an exceptionally wide range of gear ratios. The result is smooth, powerful acceleration and a high level of driving comfort. And thanks to its lightweight design and a number of advanced electronic control systems that monitor gradient, road conditions and the way the driver is using the accelerator pedal, multitronic® also plays an instrumental role in reducing fuel consumption. tiptronic® The 6-speed tiptronic® transmission system is a form of automatic transmission available on Audi models with quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. The technology converts high-torque engine power into both sporty performance and operating convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes, reduced weight and an optimised gearshift strategy. More spontaneous gear changes are a particular benefit, especially when downshifting. Both in the `D' (Drive) and `S' (Sport) programme, the advanced electronics used in tiptronic® respond efficiently to every driver input, helping to prevent unwanted upshifts when cornering. 18 19 Paint finishes Standard colours Brilliant black A2 Ice silver, metallic P5 Night blue, pearl effect 7X Avus silver, pearl effect C2 Aqua blue, pearl effect N5 Impala beige, pearl effect T2 Oyster grey, metallic X1 Aurora blue, pearl effect 9U Phantom black, pearl effect L8 Quartz grey, metallic Q4 Deep green, pearl effect 3W Cherry black, pearl effect 8C All the colour swatches are matched as accurately as possible to the actual paint colours used.
