March(进行曲)
A. - Audi A8 D2
关注了汽车之家这么多年，我还没见有哪位车友发过A8 D2的作业，特发此帖，留作纪念！
“命里有时终须有 命里无时莫强求”用来形容我与这部车的缘分再贴切不过……
曾几何时，在哈尔滨和杭州两地，我有幸目睹过A8 D2的风采。
眼眸之间，它给人的第一感觉并不抢眼，既没W140的霸气，亦无S80 P2的性感，与同级别的各旗舰车型相比，它那敦厚的外表长得实在是太过含蓄。可能正因如此，也更彰显出它的沉稳和眉宇间流露出的那份充满自信的内敛。
自信源于实力，毕竟是Audi潜心研发的旗舰车型，近距离接触后不难发现，其作为D级豪华行政轿车的尺寸，即便是配备标准轴距的车身也轻松超过了五米。加之ASF – Audi Space Frame,划时代的全铝车身概念，让Audi独树一帜。
透过车身来到内饰部分，映入眼帘的便是与时代极不相称的科技感，毫不夸张地讲，A8 D2奠定了其后续换代产品的发展基调。所以，D5的发布并未让我感到惊讶，因为，二十年前的D2亦是如此惊艳！
废语闲言不多讲，让我们用心聆听这曲来自日耳曼的March……
上车请系好安全带！
大鹏展翅
销魂的尾灯
丰满的屁股
炯炯有神的大眼，双眼皮还是丹凤眼？
造型很朴实，灯光很销魂
看好了，我是D2
这细节，这做工……
ASF-Audi Space Frame
15年，203000公里
厚道的四门一键升降
奇特的出风口设计
quattro
这是？……
传说中的ERICSSON……
谁用过？说说当年的感受
谁用过？说说当年的感受
没半点儿烟灰……
这又是？……
电动的……
瞧这做工……
来两瓶82年可乐！
原封不动
这细节……
我将之定义为“魅力红”……
听一曲BOSE带来的March
补妆时间
宽敞的后备箱
绒布很显档次
细节……
6碟CD
找亮点！
105092是第一代A8的全球总销量，加之时间渐渐久远，或许可以说明为何其现在保有量如此稀少。
这部A8 D2，排量为2.8，2001年出厂，2002年登记上牌，车牌为充满着神秘色彩的京AG1XXX……
拿掉的尾部标识，考虑到原车用途，你懂得……
十几年间，全程4S店保养，加上之前一直停在地库，使得它看起来动人依旧，开起来更是全新状态！
可以丝毫不加掩饰的自信说，我这部A8 D2的车况全国一流，手续资料更是齐全的不能再齐全。如果各位心存质疑，请接着往下看……
今年的仲夏夜，无意间看到了此车出售的消息，随即拿下。
为了顺利过户和转迁，特从广东跑了两趟北京，只为尽早将它拥入怀中，细细品味……
现在回想起来，这一切都是值得，因为它不仅是一部Audi,更是一部A8 D2！
A8 D2彷佛璀璨的星光，拥有它，你不仅珍藏了经典，更获得了永恒！换句时下流行的话说，你就有了一部传世之作……
希望Audi可以秉承匠人之心，将后续历代A8雕琢为乘坐观赏俱佳的艺术品！
规矩依旧：
由于国内资料有限，我特意从国外网站搜集并简单整理了一些相关信息，仅供大家参考，交流，希望可以让大家对A8 D2这部车有更加深入的了解。因为时间原因，不在这里做通篇翻译，如果大家对哪些地方有兴趣或者疑问，可在下面留言，我看到后会做简单讲解。
最后，谢谢大家抽空来陪我听了这么一曲March，一起欣赏，回味这部A8 D2。
期待第三部与大家的互动！
Audi A8
The Audi A8 is a four-door, full-size, luxury sedan manufactured and marketed by the German automaker Audi since 1994. Succeeding the Audi V8, and now in its third generation, the A8 has been offered with both front- or permanent all-wheel drive—and in short- and long-wheelbase variants. The first two generations employed the Volkswagen Group D platform, with the current generation deriving from the MLB platform. After the original model's 1994 release, Audi released the second generation in late 2002, and the third and current iteration in late 2009.
Development
Audi Space Frame Concept Car
In 1982, Ferdinand Piëch signed an agreement with Aluminum Company of America. The objective was to design and develop a car that would be substantially lighter than any other vehicles in its class (to compensate for the fact that standard all-wheel drive was around 100 kg heavier than competitors' rear-wheel drive). In the late 1980s, it was decided that the target vehicle would be a successor to the V8 (Typ 4C) flagship introduced in 1988. By 1990, a final design by Chris Bird and Dirk van Braeckel was chosen and frozen for series production in mid-1991. In September 1993, the Audi Space Frame (ASF) Concept was unveiled at the 1993 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) as a D2 Typ 4D prototype in polished aluminum. Pilot production began in December 1993 and development ended in early 1994, at a total cost of $700 million (£418.1 million).
Introduction
The Audi A8 (Typ 4D) was presented in February 1994 and debuted at the 1994 Geneva Auto Show in March, with full-scale factory production commencing in June 1994, although it was not until October 1996, for the 1997 model year that it became available in North America. Unlike its predecessor, the Audi V8 model, which was built on an existing steel platform, the A8 debuted on the then-new Volkswagen Group D2 platform, an all aluminium monocoque, marketed as the "Audi Space Frame" (ASF), which helped to reduce weight and preserve structural rigidity. The saloon/sedan was offered in both the A8 (standard wheelbase), and the A8 L extended or long-wheelbase (LWB) version. The A8 L adds 5 inches (127 mm) of rear legroom. Updates to the car in 1997 included the addition of six interior airbags. The A8 was designed as a competitor to fellow German rivals Mercedes Benz S Class and the BMW 7 Series.
In 1997, Audi introduced the first series production ESP Electronic stability control for all-wheel drive vehicles (Audi A8 and Audi A6)– the world's first production cars with both front and rear side airbags.
For 1997, the new A8 was available with either front-wheel drive (FWD), or the Torsen-based quattro permanent four-wheel drive. The FWD models are powered by a 2.8-litre V6 engine, producing 142 kilowatts (193 PS; 190 bhp), and a 3.7-litre V8 engine producing 171.5 kilowatts (233 PS; 230 bhp), while the quattro received a 4.2-litre V8 producing 220 kilowatts (299 PS; 295 bhp).
The A8 is available with standard luxury amenities, including dual-zone climate control, wood and leather interior trim, 14-way power and heated seats, and an enhanced Bose audio system.
In 1999, Audi's flagship received side curtain airbags, new colours, and restructuring of option packages. The North American "warm weather package" added a solar sunroof which allows the interior ventilation fans to run, keeping the interior cool while the car is parked with the engine turned off. Changes to all models included a larger passenger-side mirror, and a first aid kit located in the rear centre armrest.
In 1999 for the 2000 model year came a minor front-end restyle, with new, larger, clear headlights, a revised grille, and lower front valance with standard projection fog lamps. On the interior, the seats received a new, horizontal stitch pattern. Also, the 3.7-litre V8 FWD model was dropped, leaving the 2.8 V6 model and the long-wheelbase and short-wheelbase 4.2-litre quattro. These restyled cars also featured revised external door handles and an integrated radio antenna. For 2000, the North American A8 line-up was expanded to include the A8 L.
In 2001, Audi introduced its new W12 engine, a compact 6.0-litre unit developed by effectively mating two VR6 engines together at the crankshaft. The engine quickly became available in the A8, though only to European and Asian customers. From its introduction through its discontinuation in 2003, only 750 of the D2 "W12" models were produced. 2001 also marked the debut of the high-performance S8 variant in North American markets.
In 2002, the A8 L received standard xenon high-intensity discharge lamp (HID) headlights, and a heated steering wheel. A tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an updated Symphony II stereo, and new exterior colours were also added. For 2002, all A8 variants received a trunk/boot interior release lever to facilitate escape in the event an individual became trapped within.
Factory production of this generation ceased at Number 105,092 on August 4, 2002.
