Such engines have already been installed in Bentley Bentayga, so someone can already understand what the "beast" will fall into his hands if he acquires Audi A8 2018. Only imagine Bentley has reached power in six hundred horsepower.

In other configurations, the engine may be different, put TDI V8 (outstanding 435 horsepower), designed for four liters of fuel and having an E-Turbo system.

The choice of engines in the line of the concern depends on their suppliers and technological capabilities of the body and platform. In most part of the concern models, TSI and TDI V6 will be installed, as well as an E-TRON electrical engine.

With the latest option, the Audi manufacturers want to press electric vehicles from American lands - Tesla Model-S. It is not yet known what the capacity of batteries in Audi A8 will be, so that the wins in the electric car will depend on the buying demand.
