Impressive poiseThe Audi A8 4.2 FSI

At the heart of the Audi A8 are its modern, systematically refined engines. Impressive reserve power delivers superior road performance and consistently immaculate handling – with consumption and emission figures that have been decisively lowered compared with the previous model, thanks to a whole series of efficiency measures.

In FSI®FSI®Getting more out of every drop of petrol.FSI® technology, the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber and atomised into a fine spray. This way, the fuel – metered to almost droplet precision – can be called upon the millisecond that the engine requires it. This means better utilisation of the fuel and ultimately, reduced consumption. Legendary 24 hour race of Le Mans has shown how important an efficient use of fuel is: There, the Audi R8, powered by an FSI engine, has been able to enjoy several convincing victories.

The 4.2 litre V8 engine in your Audi A8 utilises FSI technology too. The latest generation of engine control units and an innovative thermal management system also help to reduce fuel consumption. The engine thus reaches its operating temperature more quickly after a cold start, thereby reducing friction losses. The new Audi A8 4.2 FSI requires 9.5 litres of fuel per 100 km – whilst outputting an impressive 273 kW of power. Its maximum torque of 445 Nm will take you from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds.
