Three months ago, Audi dealerships across the UAE opened up the order books<\/a> for the all-new 2018 Audi A8. Now that May has dawned upon us, the German manufacturer’s\u00a0flagship model is now available across the country in two guises; the standard four-door saloon or the more executive long-wheelbase model (LWB).<\/p>\n

The 2018\u00a0Audi A8 can be had in 14 unique shades including traditional silver, white and black plus eye-catching hues of Misano Red, Ara Blue and Goodward Green. Customers can\u00a0complete their\u00a0exterior\u00a0with a wide range of rim designs ranging from 19- to 20-inches comprised\u00a0of various materials with distinct finishes.<\/p>\n

Inside, Audi is offering six different leather finishes including Merlot Red, Sard Brown, Merino Grey and Pearl Beige along with contrasting stitching and piping. Each one is perfectly completed with a choice of\u00a0fine wood, or dark matte brushed aluminium.<\/p>\n

Features of the 2018 Audi A8<\/h3>\n

As with the outgoing model, Audi’s flagship model wouldn’t be complete with an extensive list of optional extras.\u00a0While we could be here all day detailing the entire list, we’ll just highlight a few.<\/p>\n

These include a coolbox, rear-entertainment system, roof-mounted luggage box,\u00a0360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof (LWB has a split version), Bang & Olufsen advanced sound system with 3D sound,\u00a0 business\/laptop case, inductive charging case for select mobile products and an LED for entry area which projects the signature four-ringed Audi logo.<\/p>\n

The all-new 2018 Audi A8 is equipped with Audi’s signature Quattro\u00a0system and an 8-speed\u00a0Tiptronic\u00a0transmission as standard. A8 55 TFSI models are fitted with a 340 horsepower 3.0-litre turbocharged engine allowing for a 0-100 km\/h sprint time of 5.6 seconds (5.7 for LWB) with an electronically capped top speed of 250 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Those seeking an extra kick can opt for the A8 60 TFSI. Powered by a turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine, 0-100 km\/h sprint times are cut down by over one second compared to the six-cylinder model with the regular model achieving the feat in 4.5 seconds while the LWB can do it in 4.6 seconds. Top speed is identical.<\/p>\n

Prices\u00a0start at\u00a0AED 357,000 (including VAT) and AED 380,100 for the extended wheelbase.<\/p>\n
