Inovev predicts production of 40 000 new Audi A8 per year
- Audi unveiled the new generation of the A8 limousine, which remains one of the best-selling cars in the F-segment, behind the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7-Series.
- The new A8 is renewed one year after the Audi A4 and A5 and a year before the new Audi A6 and A7 which are due to be unveiled in 2018, like the new Audi A1. The Audi A3 will be renewed in 2019.
- The new A8 is, as previously, available in a long wheelbase version and is still manufactured at the Neckarsulm site (Germany), alongside the Audi A6 and A7. It is still not manufactured in China ( and probably never will be ).
- Its engines are still 6 cylinders (V6 3.0 gasoline TFSI of 340ch and 3.0 diesel of 285ch), 8 cylinders (V8 4.0 gasoline TFSI of 460ch and 4.0 diesel of 430ch) and 12 cylinders (W12 6.0 gasoline TFSI of 540ch). A hybrid Plug-In version called Audi e-tron is expected to complete the range in 2018. It will have a V6 3.0 gasoline TFSI engine, with an autonomy of 50 km in electric mode, with induction recharge, so with no need of any connection.
- The new A8 replaces a model dating from 2010, which sold 214,000 vehicles in seven years (an average of 30,000 units per year). Inovev predicts production of 40,000 units a year for the new Audi A8.
