Audi's flagship D5 A8 is already being wound down: Germany stopped taking new orders in February 2026, with no confirmed successor yet on sale.
Audi offered the D4 A8 with a factory hybrid variant, the A8 hybrid, that paired a 2.0 TFSI with an electric motor for its US debut in 2012.
The D3 A8's W12 let Audi fit twelve cylinders and all-wheel drive where a conventional V12 wouldn't leave room for a front differential — and it's still smaller than the A8's own V8.
When Gerhard Schröder became German Chancellor in 1998, he ditched the usual Mercedes S-Class and rode in an A8 instead — breaking a long-standing tradition.
