The 2024 Audi A8 would likely be replaced by a new Audi Grandsphere, which is designed as an electric vehicle. The A8 has been known as a reliable and luxury vehicle, so it is only logical to expect the replacement to have the same qualities. The A8 won’t be phased out immediately, but considering that Audi is focusing on its EV development, they won’t be bother focusing on the gas models.
Design and Style
The 2024 Audi A8 Grandsphere would be 5.33 meters in length, which is longer than the current A8. This four door vehicle won’t be incorporating the long bonnet. The size seems to be developed and focused for the passengers, enabling them to feel spacious and comfortable. For the design, there would be a flowing crease (from the bonnet) along the body to the (tapered) rear end that can disguise the cab forward style.
This vehicle has aerodynamic body shape. The big rear spoiler is meant to smoothen the airflow going to the rear cameras and windscreen, replacing the conventional wing mirrors. As a result, the vehicle can avoid the possibility of too much drag. Not to mention that the new Grandsphere has a big diffuser that makes it stable even with high speed.
The Interior Cabin
The interior cabin is plush and exclusive. Let’s not forget that it is a luxury ride, which means that you can expect luxury for the cabin. It incorporates high end technologies and features. Unlike other models that have infotainment screens, this one doesn’t. it doesn’t have any physical display. But infotainment would be projected on the big surface within the cabin. When the car activates the autonomous driving mode Level 4, the steering wheel would disappear and your Audi will be a moving cinema with four seats layout.
Powertrain and Performance
The upcoming A8 would be an electric ride, having 120 kWh battery pack. It is able to cover 466 miles (or around 750 kilometers) of distance with a single charge. With 800V charging system, the charging would be fast. By doing a ten minute charge, the vehicle can cover 186 miles of distance, while a 25-minute of charge can fill the battery up to (from 5% to around 80%).
Thanks to a pair of electric motors (located on the rear and front axles), the performance is pretty impressive. This arrangement supports four wheel driving system while the dual motor itself can generate 720 PS and 960 Nm of torque. The vehicle is able to reach 62 mph within 4 seconds.
