The following article was provided and first published by ArcelorMittal USA news:
After experimenting with aluminum in its luxury models, Audi’s next A8 will switch back to steel. Scheduled for release in 2018, the body structure of the new A8 will be made up of more than 40 percent steel, following the trend of automakers opting to use advanced high-strength steels in new vehicles. That’s a marked turnaround from the all-aluminum body-in-white which Audi developed for the A8 in 1994.
