The 'Hybrid' is referring to the 48V system that it comes with. Here is a short Audi video of how it works:

Thanks. I've definitely felt some of it when off the gas, feels like powerful engine braking

I never knew that the A8 D5 (55) badge meant that it was a 3.0 engine! That is a confusing way to badge a car.

In fact all the new badges are not as logical as the old system.
