Why does the Audi A8 have an aluminum construction and not steel?

I have heard that the Audi A8 is made out of aluminum instead of the traditional steel. I am curious as to why they made this choice and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

The Audi A8 has an aluminum construction for a few reasons. First, aluminum is a lighter material than steel, which helps with fuel efficiency and performance. Additionally, aluminum is just as strong as steel but more corrosion resistant, leading to a longer lifespan for the vehicle.
