3.0 TFSI, 333 hp Engine

The A8 3.0T takes performance and technology to a new level with its 3 litre, 6-cylinder engine with TFSI technology. High torqueTorqueTorque is what causes rotational speed to change. Just as greater net forces cause greater linear accelerations, greater torques cause greater rotational or angular accelerations.Torque , dynamic build-up, low consumption, and 333 hp make it stand above the rest.

Start/stop System with Energy Recovery

The Audi start/stop system saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions by automatically switching the engine off when the car comes to a standstill, even for brief moments, such as traffic lights. A powerful starter energized by a heavy-duty, deep-cycle battery restarts the engine in a quick, seamless transition when the driver releases the brake pedal to engage a gear.

Quiet, convenient to operate, fast and responsive, the start-stop system is the best way to make efficient engines even more economical.
