The new Audi A8 is the future

The all new Audi A8 sedan will hit the market next year with super technological and futuristic innovations. This 2019 model will be the fourth generation of the A8 in its series. The luxurious four-door has reason to be the top vehicle for interior design and safety reports auto enthusiast, Michael Harvey. The new model stays loyal to its past shape and aerodynamic flow but has sharper, sleeker lines and angles. The modernized version of the A8 has a lighter chassis and a stronger, tighter build for the ultimate driving experience.


The interior design presents a modern and clean look; there are five comfortable seats all made with real leather and fine lines for the passengers' eye.  Up front there are two flat screen digital monitors for the various functions throughout the vehicle.

Not only is the Audi A8 nice to look at, it is actually very smart. With new electromechanical technology, the vehicle is able to adapt to road conditions. The 48-Volt electromechanical suspension can lift any tire needed for a smoother drive or if impact is created in the event of an accident to slow the hit. In the event of an accident, the windows automatically shut and the seatbelts lock as well as deploying airbags. The unique feature of the Audi A8 is the ability of rear steering. The steering rack on the rear two wheels of the vehicle can help turn the vehicle and control turns making them smoother and more stable.
