Audi A8 | Future of Luxury | Audi Australia > A8 > Audi Australia Official Website

Welcome to the future. The all-new Audi A8.

The Audi A8 is the embodiment of our forward-thinking approach. It has initiated a new design language, a new operating concept and a new level of quality. The A8 represents the future of the luxury class.

Moving forward with ease

Once again, the all-new A8 sets the benchmark with its light-weight construction. Its new multi-material Audi space frame (ASF), is the modern incarnation of the system that revolutionised premium vehicle construction when it was unveiled in the original Audi A8. The unique combination of aluminium, steel, magnesium and carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) gives it 30 percent greater rigidity for unparalleled agility and increased driving comfort.

Assisted by the best

A new generation of driver assistant technologies again put the A8 squarely at the very forefront of automotive technology. Utilising an advanced system of ultrasonic sensors, 360 degree cameras, radar sensors and laser scanners, the A8 is able to constantly monitor and assess potential collision hazards all around the car and initiate appropriate preventive measures. Its myriad systems, from adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance assist to Audi pre-sense front to guard, turn assist and collision avoidance assist, make the new A8 one of the safest vehicles on the road.

The newly developed crossing assist monitors the area in front of and on the sides of the vehicle at intersections and provides warnings of a potential collision, while exit warning warns occupants alighting from the car of approaching vehicles or bikes. Cross traffic assist rear enables safe reversing when visibility is poor, warning the driver of approaching vehicles, while myriad other systems discreetly monitor surroundings and the ever-changing situations to ensure swift, decisive action never required.
