For the past two decades, the full-size A8 sedan has been a staple of the Audi lineup, catering to drivers who seek a sophisticated model with space and powerful performance that is always fun to drive.
The new 2014 model has just arrived in our Fairfield, CT showroom and the German automaker certainly goes above and beyond our high expectations to again deliver an improved and innovative vehicle.
Perhaps what is most impressive about the new A8 is that even though it is a member of the full-size sedan segment, it boasts a low curb weight of only 1,830 kilograms (4,034.46 pounds) thanks to its lightweight Audi Space Frame (ASF) design that is made most of aluminum. This weight earns the model a best-in-class measurement for models that are all-wheel drive.
Equally remarkable to the model's lightweight design is its striking exterior design that features a restructured bumper, Singleframe grille and LED headlights. On European models of the 2014 A8, drivers will find the brand's new Matrix LEDs, which aren't legal yet in the U.S.
The new A8 is powered by a standard supercharged 3.0-liter TFSI V8 engine, with the option to step up to a 4.0-liter TFSI that churns out a robust 435 horsepower. The full-size sedan offers a range of models like one that features a TDI clean diesel engine for lower emissions and another that elevates torque production to 626.93 pound-feet.
