Audi A8 offers in-vehicle Wi-Fi access<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The new 2011 Audi A8 is allegedly the first car in the world to offer an optional factory-installed WLAN hotspot for Wi-Fi access. Of course, this means that all your passengers will probably spend less time talking to you and more time on their laptops, Apple iPads and iPhones or netbooks.<\/p>\n

Look how simple it is to get everyone to ignore you:<\/p>\n

\n

Using the WLAN hotspot is remarkably simple. To activate Internet access with speeds up to 7.2 Mbit\/s, the driver merely needs to insert a data-capable SIM card into the Bluetooth online car phone. Alternatively, an Internet connection can be established via Bluetooth by using a compatible mobile phone with a SIM Access Profile. Any existing mobile phone contract can be used for this \u2013 often coupled with a flat-rate data plan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

All this is made possible through a\u00a0rooftop antenna of the Audi A8 via the car\u2019s own UMTS module. This enables the most connection stability with great reception quality.<\/p>\n

We’re guessing this is moving Audi closer to allowing drivers to download iPhone-style software directly into their vehicles. Read more about that here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Refresher<\/strong>: Power for the 2011 Audi A8 comes from a 4.2L FSI direct-injection V8 that makes 372-hp and a maximum torque of 328 lb-ft. Mated to an 8-speed tiptronic automatic transmission,\u00a0the 2011 A8 will go from 0-62 mph in 5.6 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph.<\/p>\n
