Audi has released 2012 Audi A8 Hybrid and the production version 2013 Audi A8 Hybrid only agreed to be unveiled by the German automaker, and also the car awaits its official presentation at  IAA in Frankfurt. Scheduled to go on sale in 2012 the A8 Hybrid is 99 % just like the idea seen in 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

2012 Audi A8 Hybrid Engine

2012 Audi A8 Hybrid equipped with a 2.0-liter TFSI unit rated at 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, lithium-ion battery. Complete with its four-cylinder and electric motor hybrid combo and gas mileage of 36.75 mpg. Audi A8 has gone with a parallel hybrid setup, meaning either its four-cylinder engine or electric motor can power this hybrid car.

2012 Audi A8 Hybrid Design and Features

Although room has to be made for all of the hybrid technology, the A8 hybrid is not a Spartan model. It comes standard with particularly efficient LED headlights, the Bose sound system, three-zone automatic air conditioning and a metallic paint finish.

The 18-inch cast wheels of the Audi A8 hybrid feature a ten-arm turbine design – their ten spokes resemble turbine blades. The tires have the size 235/55 R18. As an option, there are 19-inch wheels with a two-color paint finish and in the same design, which is typical for hybrid vehicles from Audi, with 245/45-series R19 tires.

The ASF body is structured according to bionic principles. Its frame comprises extruded sections and pressure diecast parts of aluminum; the aluminum panels – such as the roof panels and the side panels – are joined by friction connections. Like the bones of a human skeleton, all components combine optimal function with low weight. The material is used only where necessary and always in a tailored configuration.

2012 Audi A8 Hybrid Price

Pricing and availability of 2012 Audi A8 Hybrid are expected to be announced soon at 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
