No two days are the same. While one day may require frequent short trips around town, other days call for the full unleashing of the A8’s capabilities. Audi drive select includes four modes—Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, and Individual—that systematically adjust steering, transmission, and throttle response to deliver a tailored driving feel.
The Art of DrivingThanks to its quattro® all-wheel drive (AWD) system, the Audi A8 doesn't yield to unpredictable weather. This legendary system constantly monitors driving patterns and automatically adjusts torque between front and rear wheels as needed to minimize wheel slip.
Quattro® all-wheel drive is optimized for everyday travel. When driving in dry conditions, quattro® adds more bite to the A8's handling, allowing for enhanced stability and control when traveling at higher speeds or navigating tight turns. Available dynamic all-wheel steering further enhances stability by reducing the turning radius at low speeds and enhancing straight-line stability at higher speeds.
No matter where the road leads, trust the A8 to deliver a smooth, comfortable feel. The adaptive air suspension system uses feedback from sophisticated sensors to automatically control the vehicle’s height and smooth out any surface imperfections, like potholes or speed bumps. The A8’s performance proves that craftsmanship isn’t in the details you see but in every curve you take and every mile you drive.
