The A8 L is an
elegantly advanced car. The L in the name stands for ‘Long wheelbase’ and
that’s what it really does. Measuring 207.4 inches, the extra length has
resulted in more rear-seat legroom. The big sedan comes with power reclining
seats that can offer you a massage, with provision for seat ventilation, and a
full length rear center console with MMI® and seat controls.
The A8 L also
comes with twin Rear Seat Entertainment screens for all your multimedia needs.
The A8 L is designed to be chauffeur-driven but if you intend to get behind the
wheels, then driving the new Audi will surely make you say ‘I feel like God’.
The Audi Drive Select® puts you on the throttle for a more enhanced experience.
With the touch of a button, the Audi Drive Select changes handling and response
and lets you drive that suits your mood. With five different modes at disposal,
one can select to drive with Efficiency, Comfort, Dynamic, Auto or on
Individual mode. The Efficiency mode optimises gear changes, air conditioning,
and engine programming to promote a more economical driving style. Comfort
adjusts your set-up to create a more relaxing ride. Option Dynamic gives you
sportier experience changing characteristics of the steering, engine response,
transmission and suspension. The Auto mode adapts the system depending on the
current driving situation while Individual, which is available in conjunction
with a Satellite Navigation system, allows you to configure the dynamics of the
car to your own preferences depending on what special equipment is fitted.
Thus, Audi has always believed in innovating intelligent technology that
anticipates drivers’ needs and this they believe is the ‘Vorsprung durch
Technik’ that literally translates to “advancement through technology”. In the
new Audi A8 L, Audi engineers have not only challenged convention but they have
pioneered it. Almost 30 years ago, Audi gave the world the first quattro® - a
permanent all-wheel drive system for passenger vehicles. Today, quattro® plays
an essential role in the Audi experience and is considered an engineering
legend. Audi quattro® drive distributes power to the wheels that need it most,
improving control during inclement weather and performance driving situations.
In short, it creates a distinct advantage for everyday driving by better
distributing the engine's power. That’s intelligent driving. The new Audi A8 L
has been built around the philosophy of enhanced and dynamic performance. To
bring this to effect, Audi engineers have used ultra-lightweight technology to
reduce weight to increase performance. Both Audi Space Frame ASF® aluminum
construction and aluminum hybrid construction exemplify this; increasing
structural strength, while reducing mass. A car is not only tested for its
ability to vroom from 0 to 100 in seconds but also the capability to break even
at high speeds and still be stuck to the road. Audi leaves no stones unturned
in this area. The high ventilated disc brakes engineered to last for a long
time and the anti-lock braking system with Electronic brakeforce distribution
gives enhanced control and boosts the stopping power. Audi A8 L has thus defied
convention and pushed performance to the limits giving the world a product – a
legend in the making.
