Engine Displacement: 2,995 cc
The A8 L is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 TFSI petrol engine paired with a 48V Mild-Hybrid (MHEV) system. This setup allows the engine to switch off and coast at highway speeds to save fuel, while the belt-alternator starter ensures the V6 fires back up with zero vibration—essential for a car of this stature.
Max Power: 340 bhp @ 5,000–6,400 rpm
With 340 brake horsepower, the A8 L provides effortless, silent acceleration. The power delivery is tuned for smoothness rather than aggression, ensuring that rear-seat passengers remain undisturbed even during rapid highway merging.
Max Torque: 500 Nm @ 1,370–4,500 rpm
The V6 produces a peak torque of 500 Nm at very low revs, allowing the heavy limousine to glide away from a standstill with minimal effort. This torque is managed by the Quattro system to ensure stability on all road surfaces.
0-100 km/h: 5.7 Seconds
Despite its massive size and focus on luxury, the A8 L can sprint to 100 km/h in a swift 5.7 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, though its primary mission is high-speed stability and vibration-free cruising.
