Transmission
8-speed tiptroni\f®
The new Audi A8 comes with a brand new gearbox – an advanced
8-speed tiptronic® transmission system which reduces both
fuel consumption and CO\b emissions. It 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.
Furthermore, this advanced gearbox can be operated entirely
in manual mode, enabling the driver to change gear using the
paddles, simply by pressing a button on the steering wheel.

11
In the new Audi A8, asymmetric dynamic
torque
distribution continuously distributes
drive
power between the front and rear axles,
depending
on weather conditions, road
surface
and gradient. This leads to greater
flexibility
and an enhanced, sportier drive.

What’s
more, with the 4.\b-litre TDI® engine,
you’ll get the quattro® Sports differential
as
standard. Put simply, this delivers more
stability and an even more dynamic driving
experience, especially on tight corners
or
when there is a weight shift under
heavy
braking.

Effi\fien\f\b
At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying
to
do more of. We’re working to use less fuel,
release
less CO\b and waste less energy. It’s why
we’ve
incorporated a number of more efficient
technologies
into the new Audi A8.
Aerod\bnami\fs
A car’s shape can have a big impact on its
efficiency. It’s why we’ve worked to make the A8 as
aerodynamic as possible. By including technology
such as adaptive air suspension that responds to
changes in speed, we’ve ensured it has the lowest
drag coefficient in its class. It means that the A8
becomes more aerodynamic at high speeds, while
still offering an exceptional ride quality.
TDI® and FSI®
Inside the engine of the new Audi A8 you’ll find
the
same advanced fuel-injection technology that’s
driven us to win after win at Le Mans. With TDI®
and FSI®, fuel is injected directly into the engine’s
chambers so that combustion is timed right down to
the millisecond. As a result, waste is minimised and
you get the most from every last drop of fuel.
