Introduced in 1994, the A8 sits atop the Audi sedan range and although it can’t match the BMW 7-Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class in pure sales, it still serves an important role in establishing the brand’s top-end credentials.
A pioneer in the field of aluminium construction, the A8 has employed an aluminium spaceframe since day dot. The weight savings offset the need for all-wheel drive in top-spec models, given that the A8 is based on a front-wheel drive platform.
