2018 Audi A8
The 2018 Audi A8 represents the future of luxury.
It is larger than the outgoing model, comes in 12 exterior colours,
a new Single-frame grille, with HD Matrix LED high-beam headlamps aka
lasers, the car isn’t extremely futuristic.
Compared to the current A8, the interior has a new virtual cockpit
that displays important vehicle information in full HD resolution of
1,920 x 720 pixels, 10.5-inch centre infotainment screen. Virtually
everything in the car relies more on the touch-screen and voice commands
to access various functions.
The New A8 also has an autopilot system which uses laser scanners,
radar and other sensors to get the mapping of the surroundings, this
helps to relieve the driver, especially during traffic. The autopilot
can also park perfectly even when the driver is not around, but the
process can still be monitored by the driver with his smartphone which
must have been used to activate the autopilot system earlier.
Other features include; 41 different driver assistance systems, 3D
audio sound systems, cameras and sensors, connected smart phones,
temperature control systems as well as a foot rest at the back-seats
that have foot massaging functions. Talk about luxury.
In the mechanical aspect, the eight speed tip-tronic four-wheel-
drive Audi A8 comes with a pair of turbocharged V6 engine which have a
3.0-litre TFSI petrol mill that gives 340 horsepower, and a 3.0-liter
TDI diesel with 286 horsepower. Audi promises 4.0-litre V8 engines for
both gasoline and diesel power, W12 model and e-tron plug-in hybrid in
its future models.
The most interesting feature of the Audi, is its smooth ride like
that of a Sedan but still maintains its sports car agility. This was
possible due to the new AI active suspension, that consists of an
electric motor and numerous other components for each wheel, allowing
the system to adjust suspension load independently.
The new 2018 Audi A8 will launch between September and December in
Germany, with starting price that range from N37.8m ($103,000 ) to
N39.3m($107,000) compared to the current A8‘s price of N30.3m($82,500).
