Production of the current Audi A8 is due to finish by the end of 2026, and it’s not clear what will succeed it, if anything.
Under the original plan the A8 was due to be replaced by a pair of vehicles in 2027: a SUV nicknamed Landjet and a sedan dubbed Landyacht. Both were to be based on the sports variant of the Volkswagen Group’s new electric-only Scaleable Systems Platform (SSP).
Engineering work on SSP Sport was being led by Porsche, which was planning to use the platform as the basis of a new three-row electric SUV codenamed ‘K1’.
