2010 Audi A8 Loaded with UHSS

The new 2010 Audi A8 is constructed from the aluminum Audi Space Frame (ASF), which in this latest evolution includes many high-strength components which have contributed to increase the torsional stiffness by 25%. The weight of the structure is about 40 percent less than a comparable steel one and is coupled with aluminum body panels. The new A8 uses a new, high-strength aluminum alloy. The A-pillar nodes of the new A8 is one of 25 castings in the body structure. Just remember that castings typically vary in thicknesses and often have reinforcement ribs. If your tool stalls, move it an inch up or down and that could be enough distance to get between the ribs.
