Due to the product upgrade, the dimensions of the Audi flagship in the luxury sedan segment change only minimally. With a wheelbase of 3.00 meters, the A8 is 5.19 meters long, 1.95 meters wide and 1.47 meters high. The body of the A8 follows the principle of the Audi Space Frame (ASF) – it consists of 58 percent aluminum parts. The passenger cell consists of hot-formed steel components, supplemented by an ultra-high-strength, extremely torsion-resistant rear wall made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic. Suspension strut strut bars made of magnesium complete the lightweight construction concept. The superior rigidity of the body lays the foundation for the precise handling, the excellent driving comfort and the acoustic silence on board
