Electric shiok

Just what the towkay ordered. The new Audi A8 full-size limousine is a self-driving hybrid that can also drive and park for you

    AUDI'S FLAGSHIP limousine is not only fully electrified, it's also very clever. The new Audi A8 will have the usual V6, V8 and W12 petrol engines but each is now a mild hybrid.

    But if "mild'' is not in your vocabulary, there is also an A8 L e-tron quattro - a powerful plug-in hybrid with wireless charging.

    It has 449 hp of system power and 700 Nm of system torque and a lithium-ion battery that allows 50 km of electric driving.
