Overview
The suspension of the Audi A8 has been completely rede-
signed. New technologies and control systems make it even
more comfortable, sportier and safer.
All models are equipped with adaptive air suspension (PR
no. 1BK) featuring electronic damping control. Both the
front and rear axles are largely made of light aluminum.
Progressive rate steering, which reduces steering eort
required by the driver, is standard equipment. The optional
dynamic all-wheel-drive steering system, used here for the
first time by Audi, combines dynamic steering and rear axle
steering. The system improves important subjective and
objective driving dynamic characteristics.
The brake system oers high performance reserves. A
ceramic brake system wheel is optional. With the 9th
generation ESC from Robert Bosch GmbH an ecient
system is available for all relevant control functions.
A wide range of steering wheels, wheels and tires are avail-
able for customization. ACC is, for the first time, an integral
part of the new driver assistance system in the Audi A8.
