Green Audi A8?

The Audi A8 2.8 FSI is one of the greenest luxury limos you can buy. The Audi A8 2.8 FSI has advanced engine technology to generate the kind of fuel economy and emissions normally associated with much smaller and less prestigious cars. The 207bhp 2.8-litre FSI petrol engine uses Audi’s valvelift technology to achieve its impressive efficiency. This is a progression on from the FSI of Fuel Stratified Injection system that’s now utilised across the manufacturer’s petrol engine range. The result is a 10% increase in fuel economy and performance that’s surprisingly brisk.

The Audi A8 2.8 FSI can achieve 0-60mph in 8 seconds and can reach a top speed of 147mph. Co2 emissions are 199g/km and there is 34mpg economy.

The interior of the Audi A8 is of high standard, chrome detailing and high quality plastics, the controls are a pleasure to use from the switch for the electronic handbrake to the dial that controls the headlights. Even in the standard Audi A8 models give abundant rear legroom and as the sleek, elongated styling suggests, there’s a massive boot out back. This is simply a great place to sit out a long journey, whether you’re behind the wheel or luxuriating in the rear with your chauffer doing the hard work. Prices start under £50,000 for the Audi A8 2.8 FSI which is an extremely good buy for one of the greenest options available for an attractive luxury saloon.
