The Audi A8 is the "World Luxury Car 2018". The win underscores the status of the brand’s flagship as the embodiment of "Vorsprung durch Technik". The award ceremony took place on March 27 at the New York Auto Show.

The Audi A8 prevailed against two competitors in the final elimination round. This marks the ninth overall victory for the brand with the four rings in the World Car Awards.

"This award is a special honor for us and our flagship," explained Peter Mertens, Board Member for Development at Audi AG. "The new Audi A8 is an innovation driver for our entire industry. It sets new standards in automotive engineering with its innovative touch control system, consistent, broad electrification and the technical conditions for conditional automated driving."
