This bit just sounds like a marketing puff piece - surely ripe for removal?
This page should be divided into generations. There have been two generations of the A8, and we need to differentiate between them. What models were offered when? Look at BMW 7-Series for a good example of what I mean. Jagvar Apr 6, 2005
My understanding is that the W12 was created by mating two of Audi's 3.0 litre VR6s togethor, not be mating the VR6 which is a different engine offered in 2.8 (former) and 3.2 (current) litre displacements. The 3.0 litre was used in the B6 generation A4 and is not a narrow angle VR series engine. This also makes sense mathmatically as 3.0+3.0 = 6.0 whereas 2.8 + 2.8 = 5.6 and 3.2 + 3.2 = 6.4, and the W12 is a 6.0 litre engine.
I justed test drove a 1998 A8. It had heated rear seats, but the article implies that the option wasnt introduced until 2000.
I've been trawling through WP and have found no mention of this car at all - it was a concept shown at Frankfurt (though that's not 100%) and had a chrome finish.
Question is - as I presume it was a preview for the first A8, would it be more appropriate to include a small section in this article about it rather than start a new ASF article? I assume it would. Abarthaddict 12:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Any pictures of the A8 interior? It's cabin is one of the best in class. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cantor575 ( talk • contribs) 23:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

In January 2008, Hyundai has launched TV commercial of their new sedan, Genesis.
It's a movie of head to head collision test of Audi A8 and Genesis.
In commercial narration says "To beat the best German sedan".
And they try to show that Genesis is safer than Audi.

This is that commercial. How do you think about this? Deepthroat81 ( talk) 14:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
The article is not too long with S8 data, also the S8 is just one model version of this car and they should be on the same page --> Typ932 T· C 06:20, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
So , give your opinion about the merge support or /no support with possible comment.
There could be a mention of Top Gears economy drive from London to Edinburgh and back on one tank in a V8 diesel A8. yesilikecars ( talk) 12:39, 01 July 2012 (UTC)
The section of the D2 (first generation) has a table mentioning acceleration figures and top speed. It is unclear what version (quattro or FWD, Automatic or Manual) this is related to. If those figures are included, it might be a good idea to mention the version too. And the diesels are missing too. Maaher ( talk) 09:54, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
I have a 1997 A8 Quattro. It has the warm weather package with the solar sunroof. I have the window sticker showing the option. Here are some links. 2006 A8 Pricing also http://www.audiworld.com/model/a8/06/A8%20SE.pdf though the latter contains lies. for example, the ABS for the 2007 A8Q (late 2006 brochure) is not Bosch 5.3, but 5.0.

Howcome the difference in wheelbase of SWB and LWB is 6 mm less than difference in total length (I mean the D4 version). Is there some additional 6 mm added outside the wheelbase? -- Yomal Sidoroff-Biarmskii ( talk) 15:45, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
Currently, the A8 D3 section of the article displays the real displacement values (e.g. 3.9L for the 4.0TDI, 4.1 for 4.2TDI, 3.1 for 3.2FSI) but I have seen many other Wikipedia articles about cars that feature the same engines but show the badged/"branded" displacement (i.e. 4.0, 4.2 litres) instead. Even the A8 D4 section of this article puts the 4.1L-displacing 4.2 TDI as a 4.2L engine. So, should it be made consistent with those articles, or not?
I'm of the opinion that we should just show the badged displacements in the infobox and in the body text instead – much easier to grasp/understand for someone learning about the car, less potential for confusion (i.e. "what's a 3.9 TDI!? I've never seen or heard such a thing!"), and then maybe we add explanatory footnotes to the article about actual displacement, as well as maybe an extra column to the "engine variants" table about branded engine size. — AP 499D25 (talk) 05:04, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
