No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
The first generation Audi A8 (Typ 4D) was presented in February 1994 and it debuted at the 1994 Geneva Auto Show in March. Full-scale factory production started in June 1994, although it was not until October 1996, for the 1997 model year that it became available in North America. Unlike its predecessor, the Audi V8 model, which was built on a steel platform, the A8 debuted on an all aluminium monocoque, marketed as the “Audi Space Frame” (ASF), which helped to reduce weight and preserve structural rigidity. The A8 was designed as a competitor to fellow German rivals Mercedes Benz S Class and the BMW 7 Series.
