Self Study Program 217 – The V8-5V Engine Construction

VAG SSP 217F. AUDI has been producing advanced 8-cylinder engines since 1988. Their capacity has increased from 3.6l to 4.2l. The V8 engine in combination with Aluminium Space Frame technology was the technical basis for Audi’s breakthrough into the luxury class.

Steps to enhance the value of the Audi A8 have included the redesign of the V8 engine. The new V8-5V engines are now also available for the Audi A6 model range.
