In 1994, the German auto concern Audipresented its novelty Audi a8 d2 / 4d. The first models of the line were front-wheel drive sedans. A year later, they began to produce a four-wheel drive with a body made of stainless and light aluminum alloy. Initially, the car had V8 and V6 engines with volumes of 3.7 and 2.8 liters, respectively. Later in the course included 150-tislynye diesel engines with a volume of 2500 "cubes", equipped with a turbo system. Further on, cars are installed even more powerful six-cylinder gasoline engines, the power of which reached 300 hp.
2002 marks the release of the new line A8 andA well-established concept of further development. The new models were equipped with a rich selection of modern options that, combined with reliability, comfort and exclusive look, made these prestigious cars desirable for many buyers. A feature of the novelty was also the fact that the new 3.7 and 4.2-liter V8 engines combined with a six-speed transmission tiptronic.
The combination of a light aluminum body, a new gearbox and, of course, a powerful engine, gave a strong acceleration for a very small car size.
Now the concern Audi has introduced a new Audi A8 in 2012 on the market.
The car is equipped with a permanent all-wheel driveQuattro. This achievement of engineers Audi has not known for itself competitors in its class for many years. Audi A8 2012, whose price, depending on the equipment ranges from 4 to 6 and a half million rubles, is considered unique for its driving capabilities. Of these, I would also like to mention a pneumatic suspension made of a duralumin aluminum alloy, which is so "smart" that it selects the optimum mode for various road surfaces. This option from Audi is exclusive.
Under the hood of this handsome are twomassive V8, giving out 335 hp. clean power, capable of dispersing the car to 250 km / h. Naturally, the maximum speed is limited by electronics. Dynamics of acceleration to hundreds is 6.3 seconds. In addition to the suspension, the Audi A8 2012 is equipped with a new efficient braking system and a system with automatic tire pressure monitoring. The rigidity of the new body has increased by 60% compared to its predecessor. Additional safety for passengers is also provided by additional airbags designed specifically to protect the head and neck. The safety of the car itself is supplemented by the "one-touch memory" system, which "will remember" its owner in the driver's seat.
