Nekaj dejstev, ki so bila preslisana ali kakorkoli:
The 2011 A8 utilizes Audi’s new, super-flexible “MLP” architecture. This is the same
chassis used for the A4, A5 and the upcoming A7. The
A8 sees extensive use of
aluminum and magnesium in an effort to keep the large sedan’s weight down.
Audi says the new A8 is the sportiest sedan in the segment, aided by a low center of
gravity and the
lowest roofline of any German rival. Despite adding
two inches
to the length, width and wheelbase — and one
additional inch of height — Audi
reckons handling has actually improved.
The 4.2-liter FSI V8 motor will continue on under the hood of the A8 with a few revisions
and modest power bump. The 372 horsepower unit also promises reduced fuel
consumption by 15 percent. Coupled to the motor is a
new eight-speed tiptronic
automatic transmission with manual mode. Manual gear selection is available via
steering wheel rockers or by using the regular gear selection lever.
The A8 will also feature the
newest version of Quattro, which features torque
vectoring. This distributes drive individually between each axle and between the
rear wheels for improved traction and stability. An optional sport differential
distributes power between the rear wheels for optimal performance under hard
cornering.
The A8’s multimedia interface (MMI) combines the standard (in the U.S.)
navigation
system with a touchpad. MMI touch enables the driver to control many functions
intuitively such as inputting the navigation destination
by writing the letters on
the pad with the touch of a finger.
The MMI system can recognize complex scenarios and make anticipatory decisions
to assist the driver. The new technologies
include a night vision assist with
marking of detected pedestrians, the Audi pre-sense safety system, as well as a
speed limit display.
Another high-end solution on board the
new A8 is full LED headlights, which
use
light emitting diodes for all light functions. They give the luxury sedan an
unmistakable appearance even in daylight and even more so after the fall of darkness.
Combining the high-tech MMI system and LED headlights, Audi’s navigation unit
predicts the road ahead and adjusts the light pattern accordingly. This function will
enable special output in highway settings, and even activate a cornering light for
wider-angle illumination when entering an intersection.
On the safety front, Audi boasts 25 percent increased static torsional rigidity due
to new welding technologies, which it claims lead to improved fuel economy and
handling characteristics. The A8 also features
Audi Braking Guard to warn
drivers of potential impacts, as well as automatic emergency braking in the event of
an unavoidable accident to minimize impact.
Production is slated to start in the
3rd quarter of 2010 at the Neckarsulm
factory in Germany.
