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.
