Audi A8 will discontinue the V8 model or use a hybrid system to replace it

Recently, we learned from relevant channels that Audi will gradually stop producing models equipped with 4.0T? V8 turbocharged engines, and will use hybrid systems to replace diesel engines.

With the increasingly stringent European emission regulations, Audi officially stated that it will gradually discontinue the production of Audi A8 models equipped with 4.0T V8 diesel engines. In the future, the Volkswagen Group will also devote more energy to the development of hybrid systems. It replaces diesel engines to further improve fuel economy while ensuring power. In addition, the Audi SQ7 and SQ8 models will soon be available in gasoline engine versions.

Summary: The discontinuation of the Audi 4.0T? V8 diesel engine will mean that the Volkswagen Group is undergoing a comprehensive transformation to electrification, and will also use more hybrid systems to replace large-displacement diesel engines in the future. (Author: Gao Gao)
