Self Study Program 285 – Running Gear in the Audi A8

VAG SSP 285 . The requirements to be met by the new A8 running gear were highly diverse and thus led to a whole series of conflicting technical aims. The remedy to these complex problems was found in the introduction of new concepts alongside progressive improvements to existing ideas and the close coordination of all sub-systems.

This approach meant that it was possible to raise the high level of active road safety of the predecessor model still further and thus to again set new standards in the luxury segment.
