Engine power is the best defence.

The best way to avert a dangerous situation is to escape as quickly as possible. Unlimited mobility can thus become a decisive safety factor. Which is why the Audi A8 L Security has particularly powerful engines and a superior drive system.

Extremely comfortable and fast gearshift. Specially designed for high-torque engines.

When the vehicle is accelerated quickly, it skips several gears for unusually fast mobility.

quattro® in the Audi A8 L Security

During normal driving, the quattro permanent all-wheel drive distributes the drive force in a 40:60 ratio to all four wheels, with most power going to the rear, and avoids wheel spin to a major extent. This means the Audi A8 L Security can prove its superior dynamic potential even in critical driving situations such as swerving manoeuvres or on slippery surfaces.
