Manufacturers such as BMW, Infiniti, and Lexus luxury cars, have Cap hybrid models of the line, using the power of electric motors as an additional, apparently without stress a maximum level of efficiency. Now, Audi has revealed the technical specifications of the new A8 Hybrid and its concept is completely opposite to that described above. How? Audi bets on the "downsizing" or reduction in engine displacement, that to move to the huge Hybrid A8, it uses a four-cylinder 2.0 litre TFSI 211 horses (Yes, almost the same with the Audi A3, A4, A5 and A6 2.0T, VW Golf GTI MKVI, among others), associated with an electric motor that develops other 54, totalising a power of 245 horses and 480 Nm of torque and all associated with a Tiptronic automatic transmission of eight-speed. Although perhaps power figures do not impress, taking into account that this is a small family car luxury top range, if he impresses this over five meters long sedan offers an average consumption of 16 kilometers per liter. Not only that, but that also has a capacity of acceleration 0 - 100 km/h in only 7.7 seconds, using only energy from the batteries of lithium-ion, which can also be used to travel up to three kilometres at a speed of up to 60 km/h. Audi A8 Hybrid will be presented to the public during the Frankfurt Auto Show to be held next month in September and its mass production will begin during the next year 2012, to stand as a model year 2013.
