Japan Used Audi V8 for Sale

The Audi V8 is a 4-door, full-size luxury sedan, produced by German automobile manufacturers Audi from 1988 to 1993, as the company's flagship model. this is the first car from Audi to use a V8 engine, and also the first Audi to combine a quattro system with an automatic transmission. A 4.2-litre version of the engines replaced the 3.6-litre V8s .

The styling of the Audi V8 similar to the Typ 44 Audi 100 and 200 models and was based on a stretched version of the Volkswagen Group C3 automobile platform, known either as the D1 or D11 platform. The Audi V8 differed from the Audi 100/200 in many ways like a unique grille attached to the hood, new bumpers and headlights, all-red tail lamps, extended wheelbase, wider track, pronounced fenders, and a completely different interior. Moreover, only alloy wheels were offered, ranging from 15 to 17 inches.

It featured 1 of 2 all-new, all-aluminium alloy engines – both petrol engines, and both in V8 configuration with 32 valves (four valves per cylinder) with dual valve springs, and four overhead camshafts. The design set the pattern for future Audi-developed Volkswagen Group V8 engines. The camshafts were driven using a hybrid method, in addition to using an all-aluminum alloy cylinder block. A rubber toothed timing belt, driven from the front of the crankshaft operated only the exhaust camshaft in each bank.

Both available engines used a Bosch Motronic fully electronic engine control unit (ECU), with cylinder bank selective knock control, dual-barrel throttle valve, lambda mixture control via intake air volume metering and exhaust gas temperature sensor and required unleaded petrol. 

The Audi V8 came equipped with rack and pinion power assisted steering (PAS) as standard. Also an electronically controlled variable assisted 'servotronic' version was available. It was fitted with a high-performance brake system, which included radially ventilated disc brakes front and rear. The fronts were rather unusual – designed by Continental AG and sized at 310 millimetres (12.2 in) in diameter by 25 millimetres (0.98 in) thick, but the caliper was mounted inside the disc.
