[edit] First and Second Generation
This page should be divided into generations. There have been two generations of the A8, and we need to differentiate between them. What models were offered when? Look at BMW 7-Series for a good example of what I mean. Jagvar Apr 6, 2005
[edit] W12 was VR6s?
My understanding is that the W12 was created by mating two of Audi's 3.0 litre VR6s togethor, not be mating the VR6 which is a different engine offered in 2.8 (former) and 3.2 (current) litre displacements. The 3.0 litre was used in the B6 generation A4 and is not a narrow angle VR series engine. This also makes sense mathmatically as 3.0+3.0 = 6.0 whereas 2.8 + 2.8 = 5.6 and 3.2 + 3.2 = 6.4, and the W12 is a 6.0 litre engine.
- No, the W12 is the result of mating two VR6-like designs together. It has the same size bore as a 3.2L VR6 but the same stroke as the 2.8L. It is unrelated to the Audi V6s. TomTheHand 13:14, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Heated Rear Seats
I justed test drove a 1998 A8. It had heated rear seats, but the article implies that the option wasnt introduced until 2000.
[edit] Audi ASF concept
I've been trawling through WP and have found no mention of this car at all - it was a concept shown at Frankfurt (though that's not 100%) and had a chrome finish.
Question is - as I presume it was a preview for the first A8, would it be more appropriate to include a small section in this article about it rather than start a new ASF article? I assume it would. Abarthaddict 12:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures
Any pictures of the A8 interior? It's cabin is one of the best in class. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cantor575 (talk • contribs) 23:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hyundai Genesis VS Audi A8
In January 2008, Hyundai has launched TV commercial of their new sedan, Genesis.
It's a movie of head to head collision test of Audi A8 and Genesis.
In commercial narration says "To beat the best German sedan".
And they try to show that Genesis is safer than Audi.

This is that commercial. How do you think about this?
