Impressive poiseThe FSI® engines of the A8 L

At the heart of the Audi A8 L are its modern, systematically refined engines. Impressive reserve power delivers superior road performance and consistently immaculate handling – with consumption and emission figures that have been decisively lowered compared with the previous model, thanks to a whole series of efficiency measures.

A8 L 4.2 FSI quattro

Like many other Audi engines, the 4.2-litre V8 engine in the Audi A8 L uses FSI technology. The latest generation of engine management systems and innovative thermal management also help to reduce the fuel consumption. The engine consequently reaches its operating temperature faster after a cold start, reducing frictional losses. The Audi A8 L 4.2 FSI needs just 9.7 l of fuel over 100 km – even though it delivers an impressive output of 273 kW (372 bhp). Its peak torque of 445 Nm takes it from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 5.8 seconds.

Fuel consumption and emissions data:
Fuel consumption, combined, 9.7 l/100 km
CO2 emissions, combined, 224 g/km

A8 L 3.0 TFSI quattro

TFSI® technology is used in the Audi A8 L 3.0 TFSI quattro. What’s special about that is: it combines the advantages of FSI with a supercharging that ensures even better power delivery.

The six-cylinder engine generates a powerful 213 kW. An innovative mechanical supercharging system with charge air cooler is employed, and turns the 3.0 TFSI V6 into a compact powerhouse – with moderate fuel consumption. The peak torque of 420 Nm is sure to impress you, as will the torque curve: At least 90% of it is within a engine speed range of 2,500 and 4,850 rpm. Thanks to its very spontaneous responsiveness and exceptional power delivery across the entire speed range, the six-cylinder engine promotes a particularly dynamic driving style. The Audi A8 L accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds and still has plenty ofpower reserves left after that. Plus, it goes without saying it complieswith the EU5 emissions standard.
