Updated A8 combines in the character of feature, among themselves, perhaps, incompatible, - sporting and imposing appearance. This car provokes the driver to go quickly, and not only on a straight line. Actually to choose, where to sit - at the wheel A8 or in a magnificent armchair behind, completely not simply. The concept “construction of limousine” the recent past limited the driver in convenience and assumed magnificent places for passengers. However at the wheel A8 you do not feel something deprived. On the contrary, I think, passengers of this car will envy quite often to the driver.
Steering management Audi A8 with variable transfer numbers and strengthening Servotronic depending on speed, began to work more logically and informatively. Changes in adjustments of shock-absorbers of a pneumatic suspension bracket have made A8 noticeably more sensitively, it began to react more precisely to action by a rudder - now on A8 interestingly to go and on twisting mountain roads. On direct this car goes, as if a superfast train on rails. To operate it for the speed for 200 km/h extremely simply and pleasantly. It is present “ the devourer autobahn ”.
… On presentation updated Audi A8 watch-maker Gerd-Rudriger Lang has precisely noticed: “ the Most important criterion of an estimation in hour business is a clearness. I appreciate the same quality in Audi. Cars of this company - the perfect, verified mechanisms. Besides it would be desirable to feel behind any technics of the person, its created. I try to transfer this spirit in the hours, and I feel it in cars Audi ”.

Thus and the corporate budget will be more whole: this version A8 distinguishes not only the favourable price, but also amazing profitability - makes the average charge of fuel only 8,3 L on 100 km. For Europeans, that fact is assured, important also, that the representation car with such motor throws out in an atmosphere only 199 g CO2 on kilometer - under statements of founders, this minimal value in a segment of machines of a class “lux”. However, to expect a thrift and thrift from the Russian managers and officials hardly costs. At us in the country on luxury cars it is not accepted to save somehow. If Audi A8 it is obligatory with a full drive and the motor is more powerful.
For exacting buyers company Audi endeavored. The representation sedan became inside to even more comfortable, and pleasure from its management - more refined. One of the basic directions of restyling A8 - decrease in noise. On high, for 200 km/h, speeds in interior ideally silently. Aerodynamics of the car causes admiration - the factor of frontal resistance makes only 0,27. Owing to application new noise insulation materials in interior it is possible to talk whisper on any speeds. The noise isolation became more effective, but thus the car has not added gram of excess weight. The mite in creation of reference acoustic comfort have brought wind and lateral glasses of a special design: between two layers has flown down thickness of 2,1 mm everyone there is special noise insulation a film from butyral resin thickness of 0,8 mm.

Basic difference A8 with motor V6 from more powerful versions is … a forward drive. Yes, company Audi on the given version of the car has decided to refuse a full drive quattro. It is made obviously not for the sake of deprecication of the car (the pneumosuspension bracket in fact has remained), and for the sake of economy of fuel and reduction of weight.
To easy dispersal Audi A8 V6 promotes concerning small weight of the machine - only 1690 kg. For comparison: not suffering surplus of excess weight Audi S8 c the V-shaped 5,2-liter motor nevertheless it is heavier on the whole of 250 kg. To dynamical dispersal of the car helps stageless variator Multitronic with an opportunity of manual switching (on it seven “steps” are fixed) - owing to a variator dispersal occurs very quickly, without interruption of a stream of capacity.
To lacks Audi A8 with engine V6 I shall carry importunate noise of the engine at intensive dispersal when the variator supports turns in area of the maximal 6000-7000 rev/min. Little bit hysterical sound of the motor presses on ears, especially strongly acoustic discomfort is swept up on a background of other ideally silent updatings A8. However, if constantly to not untwist the motor up to a red zone of a tachometer noise and does not irritate.
In my opinion, this version of the car perfectly will approach for formation of a corporate motor-vehicle pool. Top-managers and high-ranking officials, I think, dynamics quite will arrange: up to 100 km/h the car is dispersed for 8 with, and its maximal speed makes 238 km/h.

And these results Audi shows on a background of the general stagnation of the given segment.
As they say, let well alone, and, probably, therefore the list of changes is insignificant: for Audi A8 2008 modelling years are offered the new engine, the noise isolation of interior has improved, the suspension bracket and steering management are recustomized, there were new variants of furnish of interior and decorative elements in the ex-terrier. It is a little basic innovations, the car has changed in nuances, but these nuances are appreciable - the flagman model of company Audi really became more precise and verified.
The main news: cost of ocurrence in club of owners Audi A8 has decreased - the representation car now is offered with new engine V6 2.8 FSI. The initial prices on A8 with this motor will start in Germany from 62 thousand euro. Such version of the car in Russia will cost How many and whether it in general will be presented in interiors of Russian dealers Audi? The Question opened. However the approach of the company “ four rings ” to a problem of economy of fuel and decrease in harmful emissions is interesting. Really, and can be, and it is not necessary to fence a kitchen garden with all these hybrids? In fact to establish on greater machines “small” motors much easier, and the effect for preservation of an environment will be even more.
Despite of modest for cars of a representation class volume of the motor - 2,8 L, V-shaped “six”, in my opinion, quite defensible has appeared under cowl A8. Capacity of the motor, apparently, is insignificant - 210 h.p., but as the test trip has shown, the representation sedan with this engine quite corresponds to requirements of a segment. I did not test any “complexes” of at the wheel given version A8 - the machine has appeared quite dynamical owing to solid for the motor of such volume to value of the twisting moment - 280 Nanometers which are given out in a wide range - from 3000 up to 5000 rev/min.

The presentation updated Audi A8 passed in surroundings of hour manufacture of company Chronoswiss. The founder of luxury brand Chrono-swiss Gerd-Rudriger Lang approves, that the philosophy of its hours and cars Audi is very close.
Gerd-Rudriger Lang likes to utter: “ We represent mark which in consciousness of many people exists eternally ”. Thus it and itself at times is surprised to that company Chronoswiss is ranked as the Swiss hour firms with century history. Actually to luxury hour mark Chronoswiss only 20 years, and the headquarters of the company is located not in Switzerland, and in suburbs of the Bavarian Munich.
The firm was born in days of boom on quartz watches. The future of traditional mechanical hours in the beginning 80 was drawn in the most gloomy tones, however Lang has remained is true to ” charm of mechanics ” and was not afraid to open own firm Chronoswiss, which as well as Audi, has staked on the perfect technologies, accuracy and clearness in a combination to classical forms.
The history of success of hour brand Chronoswiss is similar to a way to top Audi. Hardly more two tens years ago Audi was considered as the car for “ rural teachers ”. But owing to introduction of innovative technologies - a full drive quattro and aluminium bodies “ four rings ” have made the way in a premium-segment.
Leader of mark Audi A8 - model rather successful, radical changes not demanding. The debut of present generation A8 took place in 2002, but even four years later sales of model continue to grow - as a whole on the world on 5 %. In this respect Russia for Audi - the unique market. In the past to year at us in the country of sale A8 in comparison with 2005 have grown almost twice. In total by the present moment in the world market it is sold more than 100 thousand representation sedans Audi, that already exceeds a sales volume of the previous generation
