An all-aluminium car was brought forward by Audi, plus in 1994 the Audi A8 was released, which introduced aluminium space frame technology (called Audi Space Frame or ASF) which saves weight and improves torsion rigidity in comparison to a conventional steel frame. Prior to that effort, Audi used examples from the Type 44 chassis fabricated from aluminium as test-beds to the technique. The disadvantage on the aluminium frame is that it can be quite expensive to repair as well as a specialized aluminium bodyshop. The weight reduction is nearly offset from the quattro four-wheel drive system that is standard in many markets. Nonetheless, the A8 is truly the lightest all-wheel drive car inside the full-size luxury segment, also having best-in-class fuel economy. The Audi A2, Audi TT and Audi R8 utilize Audi Space Frame designs.
