[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Audi announced on the 7th that it will launch the high-performance flagship sedan, 'The New Audi S8 L TFSI,' on the 10th.
The newly launched The New Audi S8 L TFSI is a high-performance flagship sedan of the Audi A8 L, equipped with a 4.0L V8 TFSI engine and an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission. With a powerful output of 571 horsepower and a maximum torque of 81.58 kg.m, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.

The exterior of The New Audi S8 L TFSI is distinguished from the A8 by upgraded bumpers, door sills, and muffler tips. The S8 badges are applied as standard on the front and rear, and the black package applied to the front and rear bumpers, grille, and window moldings, along with aluminum-finished folding, heated, anti-glare, and memory-function side mirrors, provide a sharp impression.
The interior boasts a spacious and comfortable cabin with a length of 5310mm, a wheelbase of 3128mm, a wider width, and increased height compared to the previous generation, offering ample legroom and headroom.

Additionally, intelligent systems such as 'Adaptive Cruise Assist,' 'Exit Warning System,' 'Intersection Assist System,' 'Pre Sense 360°,' and 'Head-Up Display' are equipped with various safety features that consider not only the driver but also pedestrians in diverse driving environments.
