Introduction - Audi A8 2019 Service Training

Launched in Europe in 1994, the Audi A8 was the world's first
large volume production automobile with a self-supporting
aluminum body. Since then, Audi has built approximately one
million vehicles with the Audi Space Frame body.
Its successor continues this tradition. The design of the 2019
A8 embodies the fundamental qualities for which Audi is
renowned: sports appeal, lightweight construction and
quattro all wheel drive.
Stylistically, the new A8 marks the beginning of a new design
era for the entire brand. The front end, with its wide, upright
single frame grille and fluid muscular body symbolizes sporty
elegance, sophistication and progressiveness. The defining
design feature of the new A8 is spacious luxury. The interior
resembles a lounge of generous proportions. The interior is
deliberately minimalist with clearly defined and strictly hori-
zontal architecture.
