The fourth generation of the luxury sports sedan, which Audi introduced in 2017, raised it to a new level with respect to power, look, and equipment. As an initial series model, the A8 revealed the future design language upon its launch and consequently it is essentially the progressive face of the sedan segment to the present day.
With the sharpened design, particularly in the front and rear, and innovative technologies, Audi is ensuring the increased presence and sporty elegance of the Audi A8. For that reason, the company with the four rings is even more intensively working out the confident and progressive character of the active luxury sedan. The new high-end headlights and taillights inspire innovative functions and form the apex of the A8’s established technology portfolio. The flagship of the brand creates a contemporary and user-oriented experience for both the passengers and the driver.
