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 FSIFSIGetting more out of every drop of petrol.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

TFSITFSIAudi was the first manufacturer in the world to combine petrol direct injection with turbocharging in large-scale car productionTFSI ® 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.
