Audi A8

The all-new Audi A8 has arrived. In the tradition of its predecessors, Audi A8 is both a design leader and a technological marvel. A vision, that’s come to life.

The Singleframe® grille on the Audi A8 has evolved with each generation. On the new A8, the grille is both wider and lower to emphasize its sportier stance. From profile, its face is more upright. From another angle, a third dimension appears as the outer sections appear to fold inward.

The headlights on the Audi A8 reveal a character who looks optimistically at the road ahead. The shape of the headlights exudes a focused demeanor. Full LEDs produce a light spectrum much like the mid-day sun. Extending across the lower section of the trunk lid and serving as a visual bridge between the dynamic taillights, the light bar highlights the increased width and sporting stance of the Audi A8.

The interior of the Audi A8 features an expanse crafted natural wood inlays, the luster of high-gloss Black surfaces and active climate control shutters that automatically fold into the dashboard. Within the interior’s modernist lines is not just the rewarding touch of premium leather or the texture of natural wood inlays, but a host of features designed to elevate the luxury experience.

The 3.0-liter TFSI® V6 engine was engineered to deliver powerful throttle response in a smooth, refi ned manner. A twin-scroll turbocharger design and revised Audi valvelift system help provide up to 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque through a wide engine rpm range.

Instead of traditional coil springs, the Audi adaptive air suspension uses airbags to help control wheel movements. Ride quality can be selected through the Audi drive select system, off ering Comfort and Dynamic settings to suit road conditions and driving preference. The available dynamic all-wheel steering system features an electromechanical steering system on the front and rear axles. The system is designed to enhance both stability during lane changes and maneuverability by decreasing the vehicle’s turning radius.

Aston Martin Vantage GT4

The Vantage GT4 is based on the new European specification V8 Vantage, with modifications to prepare the car for racing. The V8 Vantage was originally launched in 2005, having undergone the most extensive test programme of any Aston Martin, in total over 1.5 million kilometres.

In 2008, Aston Martin announced the new technically enhanced Vantage V8. In production form, the V8 Vantage’s 4.7 litre engine produces 313 kW (420 bhp), giving the car a maximum speed of 290 kph (180 mph) and a 0-100 kph time of 4.8 sec (0-60 mph in 4.7 sec).

Aston Martin’s unique aluminium bonded architecture gives class-leading strength and rigidity, with a front midmounted V8 engine creating optimum front to rear weight distribution and a low centre of gravity – the perfect foundation for a successful race car.

The Vantage GT4’s foundation, is the V8 Vantage. Under the bonnet, the engine is modified to enhance throttle response and outright performance. The engine management system is recalibrated for race use. The Vantage GT4 also has a free flow exhaust system and air filters. The standard V8 dry sump lubrication system is retained, helping to prevent oil surge during extreme cornering. The Vantage GT4 can be supplied with either a six speed manual, or a Sportshift transmission with paddle controls.

At 1,330 kg (2,930 lb), the Vantage GT4 is 300 kg (660 lb) lighter than the standard car. This has been achieved through a range of weight reduction measures. The interior trim is removed with the exception of the facia moulding which is re-trimmed in Alcantara. The console and door casings are replaced by new lightweight mouldings. The chassis has been fitted with a high-strength steel rollcage and Recaro competition seats. A suede-trimmed steering wheel with a quick release mechanism is also fitted as standard. The Vantage GT4’s safety features are completed with a Sabelt sixpoint safety harness with a push-button release and Lifeline Zero 360 gas extinguisher system.
