Which Audi model succeeded the Audi V8 in 1994?

The Audi A8 succeeded the Audi V8 in 1994.

Audi introduced the A8 as its new full-size luxury flagship after producing the V8 from 1988 to 1993. The first-generation A8, known internally as the D2 or Typ 4D, was presented in 1994 and continued the brand’s competition with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series.

The change was more than a renamed model. The A8 used Audi’s new aluminium Audi Space Frame, reducing weight while preserving rigidity. It was offered with front-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel drive, and later gained performance variants such as the S8.

A common mix-up is confusing the A8’s predecessor with the Audi 100 or Audi 200. Those models were related through Audi’s broader platform history, but the V8 was the direct predecessor to the A8.
