First impressions are indelible. It’s why we
exhaustively test our handpicked materials

approved, tolerances where wood, Valcona
leather and polished aluminum intersect are
stringently controlled and cannot exceed a
0.2 mm variance. The result is an interior that
eels solid, welcoming and luxurious.

The A8 oers the latest, most advanced saety
systems designed to help avoid accidents
while helping to protect you i an accident isimminent. At the heart o this technology is
Audi pre sense.
All A8 models are equipped with Audi pre sense
basic. This system oers a number o occupant
protection eatures. These preventive measures
are activated when an emergency driving
maneuver is detected, such as heavy braking.
At that moment, a number o systems are
engaged. Saety belt pre-tensioners are
activated and i extreme lateral orces are
detected, the sunroo and windows close.
Externally, emergency hazard warning lights arealso turned on to warn surrounding vehicles.
Once the situation has dissipated and normal
driving conditions return, all systems revert
to their original state.
Saety technology is elevated to new heights
with Audi pre sense plus with Audi side assist
and adaptive cruise control. It oers all o
the preventive measures included in Audi
pre sense basic and adds a number o other
important eatures.
Should the system detect the risk o a rontal
collision through adaptive cruise control, the
driver will be given various warnings – bothaudible as well as a partial application o the
brakes via Audi braking guard. In addition,
the airbags are primed and the brake system
pre-lled to ensure that maximum brake orce
is achieved with minimal pressure applied to
the brake pedal. I a collision is imminent,
ull-braking is applied automatically ollowing
the initial warnings. This is designed to reduce
the severity o the collision.
Audi pre sense plus also utilizes Audi side assist
or enhanced occupant protection. When a
collision scenario is detected rom the rear,seats and head restraints are adjusted or
maximum support. Additional protection
comes rom the pneumatic seat side sections,
which will be infated while the airbags
are pre-conditioned.
protective
* Airbags are supplemental restraints only and do not deploy in all crash circumstances. Always use saety belts and seat children in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate or their size and age.
European vehicle and specications shown.
Additional safety features of the A8 include:
Audi lane assist: Audi lane assist alerts you to
any unintentional lane changes by vibrating the
steering wheel when lane markings are crossed
above 40 MPH.
Audi night vision assistant: Audi night vision
assistant provides pedestrian and object
detection extending your natural vision beyond
the range o your headlights up to 300 yards
through thermal imaging. This means that
despite how dark it may appear, pedestrians
and animals can be seen in the night vision
display. When people are detected, they are
highlighted in yellow as a warning. I the
detected individual moves into your path,they are highlighted in red, signiying a possible
critical situation.
Airbags*: The A8 is equipped with a ull
complement o ten airbags to oer additional
protection in the event o a collision.
Audi Space Frame (ASF®): Accompanying the
Audi pre sense technology is the aluminum
Audi Space Frame (ASF®). It oers class-leading
weight-savings as well as overall increased
body stiness or dynamic handling. These
unique characteristics result in a superb
energy-dissipating crash structure.

As a point o comparison, a comparable body
made rom steel would weigh approximately
40 percent more.
We also looked at other areas where greater
power and eciency can play a signicant role.
The 4.2 liter engine oers FSI® direct injection
that increases both eciency and perormance.
The result is instant throttle response and
improved uel eciency.
More than 15 years ago we turned to lightweight
aluminum to create the core structure o the A8;
the aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF®). We
were able to increase both handling and saety
perormance thanks to the stier body. Not
surprisingly, the signicant weight-savings
oered considerable improvements on overall
uel eciency* as well.
