The world's first mass-produced aluminum-bodied luxury sedan. The A8's Audi Space Frame weighed 40% less than an equivalent steel structure and redefined lightweight luxury.

History

The D2 A8 was Audi's moonshot — a flagship luxury sedan with an all-aluminum body to compete with the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7 Series. The engineering was revolutionary; the market was skeptical. Time proved Audi right.
