A new sleeker, polished engines, new assistance systems and of course the most important thing: NEW LEDS. w00t!

Matrix LED headlights

Yes, the LED headlights are now the standard. Audi had, of course, their leadership role with Vorchsprung durch LEDS confirm and could not remain after Mercedes E-class are also already standard LED headlights fitted. Optional can be chosen for the matrix LED headlights, where the high beam is split into 25 individual diodes which independently of one another can be switched on or off, or dim, can be provided as an option. Glare would be a thing of the past need to hear it without that “light goes out” if there is an oncoming car is spotted. The lighting system in the Audi A8 operates on the basis of the navigation and adapts to the road’s course.

Engines with more oempf

Also the motors are freshened up and get some more horsepower. The petrol engines are the 3.0 TFSI with 228 kW/310 hp (formerly: 213 kW/290 hp), with compressor technology and the V8 biturbo 4.0 TFSI with 320 kW/435 hp (formerly: 309 kW/420 hp).

If diesel engines are very fuel efficient 3.0 TDI clean diesel with 190 kW/258 hp (formerly: 184 kW/250 hp) and the powerful 4.2 TDI clean diesel with an output of 283 kW/385 hp (formerly: 258 kW/350 hp) and a torque of not less than 850 Nm is available.

In most engines, the performance improved. So it accelerates the A8 4.0 TFSI quattro now in 4.5 seconds from 0-100 km/h. The Audi Cylinder on demand system (COD) deactivates four of the eight cylinders when not full power is required. The 3.0 TDI clean diesel is the most fuel-efficient engine: the consumption decreased to not more than 5.9 liters of diesel per 100 km and emissions down to just 155 grams of CO2 per kilometre. All engines meet the Euro-6 standard. Thanks to adjustments for friction to reduce could also consumption by up to ten percent is to be reduced.

Has anyone in the meantime the changes have already spotted? Forward, they are: in the hood there are two extra folding, and the grille was changed, so the bottom line now seems to go in the sides of the bumper. If you the differences themselves want to be mocked, he is starting next month at the IAA in Frankfurt.
