A8

A8 is a designation used in several contexts, most notably in automotive and road networks.

Audi A8

The Audi A8 is a full-size luxury sedan produced by German automaker Audi since 1994. It serves as the brand’s flagship model and has introduced numerous technologies that later influenced other Audi lines. The A8 has evolved through four generations: D2 (1994–2002), D3 (2002–2009), D4 (2009–2017), and D5 (2018–present). It has offered a range of engines, including inline-four, V6, V8, and W12 configurations, as well as hybrid variants in later years. The model is known for features such as an aluminum-intensive space frame, quattro all-wheel drive, advanced driver assistance systems, and high-end interior craftsmanship. Variants include standard and long-wheelbase versions, as well as performance-focused S and e-tron plug-in hybrid variants.

Autobahn A8 (Germany)

The A8 is a major Autobahn in Germany running roughly east–west, connecting the western border region with the Austrian border. It traverses southern Germany and links important metropolitan areas, serving as a key high-speed corridor for domestic traffic and international transit toward Austria and beyond. The route is fully controlled-access, designed for high-speed automotive travel, and intersects with other Autobahns to form part of the broader European highway network.

Other uses

A8 is used as a designation for various other highways and roads in different countries, reflecting a common alphanumeric naming convention in national road systems. In addition, A8 appears in product naming and model numbers across diverse industries, distinct from its automotive or highway contexts.

Note: The specific route details of A8 can vary by country, and local designations may differ in historical or contemporary maps.
