Audi A8: A very special model can imitate other cars!

This very special model of an Audi A8 can imitate the driving experience of other cars such as the Mercedes E class or even a VW Golf GTI. A very interesting read!

The Audi was first set up to imitate the dynamics of a Mercedes E-Class, and it clearly wallowed through corners. At the click of a button, the Merc's image on the dash changed to a VW Golf GTI. Instantly, the A8 was transformed. The steering became weightier and more direct, roll was reduced and the steering response was sharper. The engineer even allowed us to tune our ideal motor by juggling settings on the laptop, such as steering weight, levels of roll, ride quality and rear-end response to create a sports car that was uncompromising but delivered good feedback.

The system is currently a development tool - with cars as diverse as the Hyundai Getz and Lotus Elise already programmed.
