All-Electric Audi A8 Replacement Coming in 2024 Will Be the Most Powerful Audi Ever

Audi A8 replacementrecent report by Autocar is accurate the Audi A8 replacement is going to be a radical departure from the car on sale today. It will be based on the Grandsphere concept car that debuted in 2021. So, it will certainly look futuristic if it is anything like the concept. But the next generation A8 goes far beyond advanced styling. It promises to be the most powerful Audi ever made. Not just the most powerful A8. The most powerful Audi full stop. More powerful than the RS e-tron GT. More powerful than the RS 6 Avant. But even more impressive is that it is expected to be one of the longest range EVs on the market. And when you do need to charge it up, it won’t take very long as it is equipped with 800V charging functionality.

While we are on the topic of not waiting very long, we should mention that the next generation Audi A8 is expected to go on sale in 2024. The future is almost here. The future seems bright and fast. The new A8 will be packing a 120kWh lithium-ion battery. It is expected to produce a whopping 711 horsepower and 708 pound-feet of torque. The current Audi S8 makes 563 horsepower from a twin-turbo V8. It hits 60 mph in a little over 3 seconds. The next generation EV A8 will likely be heavier than the S8. But with 25 percent more power, it is hard to image that it also won’t be significantly quicker. What else should we expect?

The Future of Audi: Three Audi Sphere Concept Cars Together at Pebble Beach

Audi SphereGrandsphere, Skysphere, and Urbansphere make up the set. At Pebble Beach recently all three of them were together for the first time. Thanks to a video recently upload to the AutoTrader YouTube channel we get to see them up close.

The Grandsphere could be the future luxury sedan from Audi to replace the current generation A8/S8. The Skysphere is a concept that hints at what a future sportscar or grand touring machine might be like. And finally we have the Urbansphere which is a minivan concept. And while a minivan concept might not sound as exciting as the others the Urbansphere is different. It is designed to carry up to six passengers autonomously. So, you just chill in the back with your mates and the Urbansphere takes care of the mundane driving duties. That might be a minivan worth getting excited about. Let’s take a closer look at all the Audi Sphere concepts.
