From the vantage points of technology, performance and aesthetics, this car stands at the head of a most impressive class. Putting miles between itself and others with ease. Distancing itself from others with uncommon grace.
With its five-valve per cylinder V8, new interior options and five-speed Tiptronic® transmission that allows you to decide how to shift, the 2005 A8 is all at once a link to every classic touring sedan of the 20th century and a reassuring bridge to the future.
A five-speed Tiptronic® calls upon more than 200 dynamic shift programs to deliver the action of a five-speed manual without a clutch.
The future belongs to those who can solve tomorrow's problems today. Audi's 2005 A8 is the first car on the world market with a Space Frame aluminium chassis.
It isn't only technical innovation that has a long tradition at Audi; driving comfort and safety have always played an equally important role. The 2005 A8 is a luxury limousine, superior in handling and safety concept. And in the quattro, this superb performance is coupled with a first-class driveline concept. Here is real excellence - designed for use, not show. Inner quality is the essence of the Audi A8.
