Audi A8 presents a hybrid of the Geneva Motor Show as a technical study. Its two engines - 2.0 TFSI and electric motor - have a total power of 180 kW (245 hp) and torque of 480 Nm. Allow to obtain a performance comparable to high-six engine. Average fuel consumption is only 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers, which means the emission CO2144 g / km.
Hybrid drive in the Audi A8 is built in a parallel system. This highly effective approach to avoid unnecessary losses due to friction and decreases power. Between the four-power gasoline engines which have an 155 kW (211 hp) and the Eightfold Tiptronic transmission was placed powerful electric motor. Its power is 33 kW (45 hp) and torque of 211 Nm. Both engines have a total power of 180 kW and 480 Nm of torque. Audi A8 hybrid accelerates from zero to 100 km / h in 7.6 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 235 km / h.
A8 Studio is a full hybrid. Characterized by the fact that it can be powered by gasoline only, or only an electric motor, or you can combine the strength of both of these drives. The phases of turning and braking the electric motor works as a generator converts kinetic energy into electrical and loads while the battery. Hybrid electric drive allows speeds up to 65 km / h and beat more than two kilometers - enough to move in a crowded, big city.
