Audi A8 hybrid confirmed for production

Updated



Hybrids have moved on from being wheezy, slightly self-righteous fuel-sipping hatchbacks to larger and more luxurious models in recent times. One of the latest to join the breed is the Audi A8, which has just been confirmed for production in 2012.

The large saloon gets a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that combines with an electric motor to produce an overall fuel economy claim of 44mpg.
