Audi has completed the production of the A8 model at the Neckaratta factory in Germany, closing a 32-year-old history of the luxury sedan.

The last eclipse came out of the production line in mid-October, while the current generation of D5, introduced in 2017, has already completed its cycle.

The A8 was first introduced in 1994 and over the years became the main rival of Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW Serie 7.

However, the name A8 is not expected to disappear permanently.

Audi has confirmed that a successor was planned before 2030, but it is still unknown whether it will be electric, hybrid, or traditionally engineed.

Free capacity in Neckaratta will be used for the production of models A5 Sedan and A5 Avant.

Until the possible A8 recovery, the huge luxury Sudi Q9 SUV will hold the role of the main brand model. /Telegraphy/
