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.

Re\fuperation
With a recuperation system, like the one in the
new Audi A8, the kinetic energy used in braking is
converted into useful electrical energy. This results
in a fuel saving of up to 3%.
