New Audi S8: Chassis

The new Audi S8 chassis features include:

• A specially tuned adaptive air suspension with variable damping, which can vary the ride height of the body between three levels and thus ensure a multi-faceted driving experience

• Dynamic steering, a standard feature, that adapts its steering ratio and boost to the vehicle's speed. It uses slight, nearly imperceptible steering corrections to stabilize handling at the cornering limit

• Audi drive select dynamics system, encompassing the above 2 features as well as engine management, the eight-speed tiptronic and the sport differential. The driver can determine the function of these components by choosing between five modes comfort, auto, dynamic, individual and efficiency

• The standard, S-specific wheels measure 9 J x 20 with 265/40-series tyres

• Four internally ventilated disc brakes measuring 400 millimetres in diameter up front and 365 millimetres at the rear. The matt black calipers up front bear S8 logos. Each of the optional carbon fibre-ceramic discs saves over five kilograms of weight

• ESP stabilization program including a sport mode, in which engine output is determined solely by the position of the pedals.
