What Changed

Restyled for 2011, the new Audi A8 has grown in length and width. The new styling is familiar but overall more stylish than the prior generation. On the inside, a new interior features a more interesting instrument panel and exaggerated center console. All A8s are powered by a 4.2l V8 that is more powerful than before.
