For each major redesign, a vehicle is said to begin a new "generation."

The five-passenger Audi A8 comes in two variations: the normal wheelbase 4.2, and a long wheelbase 4.2. The direct-injection 4.2-liter V8 produces 350 horsepower, which is routed to the ground by a six-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive.
