Audi A8 hybrid was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show 80 months ago. Audi A8 is a hybrid concept which combines gasoline direct injection technology with a turbocharger and valve lift Audi's AVS system, which regulates the valve lift in two stages. Four-cylinder technology has been named "Engine of the Year" five times since 2005. Audi A8 Hybrid is powered by two propulsion units of a 2.0 TFSI and an electric motor. The motor develops a total output of 180 kW (245 hp) of system power and 480 Nm (354.03 lb-ft) of torque, and as a result, the A8 hybrid can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds (62.14 mph). The A8’s top speed is 235 km/h (146.02 mph) with average fuel consumption 6.2 liters (37.94 US mpg) per 100 km and CO2 equivalent 144 grams per km (231.75 g/mile).
The Audi A8 hybrid’s energy storage system of is mounted in the rear section. The storage is protected by a high-strength housing and a ventilation module that ensures the ideal temperature range. Several subsystems that operate on engine power in a conventional car have been modified right from the start for use in the Audi A8 hybrid.
The design of the Audi A8 hybrid presents an exterior paint in “Prism Silver” with “Spectra Flair” as an accent color – a rainbow effect that’s accentuated in reflected light along creases and seams on the body. Moreover, the A8 is fitted with 21-inch, two-colour wheel rims styled with highly three-dimensional surface areas, engine compartment cover set in a high-gloss finish, prominently located “hybrid” lettering on both front fenders, low horizontal spoiler edge and a chrome strip, and the illuminated doorsteps bear the “hybrid” insignia.
