Quick tip – The 2011 A8 weighs nearly the same as the outgoing model despite being 3 inches longer, 2 inches wider and hosting more standard equipment (8-speed auto transmission, pre sense basic, keyless go, power trunk, etc.). It is also 15 percent better fuel efficient!
The 2011 Audi A8 was unveiled a few hours back in Miami. It will go on sale in late 2010 in the US. The entry level variant will host a 4.2 liter FSI V8 engine that makes 372 hp. The standard transmission is an all-new eight speed tiptronic coupled to the latest generation quattro all wheel drive. 0-100km/h arrives in 5.7 seconds

Audi revealed the first teaser image of the 2011 Audi A8 which shows the car veiled in black cover. With the LED daytime running lights glowing and the car’s grille outline emerging out of the cover, a lot can be said about the next A8.
Though a rendering we showed earlier has a lot in common with this teaser, we still have no confirmation from Audi regarding the body shape. Despite hearing from people about flared wheel arches and the car spanning on a stretched wheelbase, we think its too early to call. An A5 Sport back like coupe-profile was also expected.
We had a special report on the A8 a few months back. We thought we’d brush-up a few points (officially revealed) mentioned in the report. So here they are below.
