The Audi A8L sits at the top of the Audi luxury lineup, offering long wheelbase executive levels of comfort, the latest technology and strong performance. As a luxury flagship, it is obviously going to be expensive, but this vehicle is equipped with the W12...meaning it was $180,000 brand new!!! After 6 years of depreciation, this A8L can be purchased for $50k, making it one of the most luxurious cars for that kind of money. Check out what its like to experience an Audi A8L W12!

Have any of you commenting this shit owned an Audi before? Specially newer models that are S or high trims? Coming from someone who owned an b8 S4 the car was great and didn’t have any real issues. Yes maintenance is costly (once out of warranty) but the plus is that you don’t really encounter issues frequently on these cars as long as you keep up with the recommended maintenance. Plus, anyone that even considers this car in the used market would be someone capable of the upkeep. You are not going to get some dude shopping around for a Toyota, Honda, or Chevy in the 40-50k range cross shopping this car.

Great informative video on a beautiful limo. It’s a real shame Audi did not offer the W12 TDI engine as in the Q7, which would’ve been the perfect match for such a large & heavy limo. With 1000 nm of torque the W12 TDI would’ve eaten the NA W12 for breakfast & left it very embarrassed . More importantly, with twice better fuel economy than the NA W12 it makes more sense as the smarter choice.

Niiiiice! Nice bigger wheels and the suspension set a little lower and rear window tint and an agressive exhaust would transform the car to a beast! Now that it’s more affortable to younger people this car’s image will change from an old man’s car to a much cooler car. If it had air suspension set super low there wouldn’t be many cooler cars in the world. Maybe the current AMG S65L is cooler but still this is pretty close.

[@epicon6]

Ivanov, Marcell That’s the exact opposite of what i’m talking about. Every big sedan should have tinted windows straight from factory because it makes the shapes of the rear of the car come together. Also bigger wheels for the same reason. Small factory wheels makes cars look like nothing. And exhaust would have to fit the character of the car and bring out some sound of the W12. Who would put a cheap quad exhaust on this? And air ride is just cool because you can get rid of the wheelgap and choose any ride height you like.. I did mention younger people but didn’t mean teenagers. More like 30-45 when the original target audience was 40-85. Everyone who puts stickers on their cars should be punched in the face.

[@superchargedsteve3411]

What is the torque on that W12? Gorgeous car and the interior is stunning! On par with any Benz or BMW, even Bentley or Rolls. The price is a steal, the maintenance will kill you in the long term, but with the money you save it may be worth it. Since I'm an enthusiast, I would go for an S8 or RS7. Really cool find!

[@stef123992]

628Nm of torque. But in truth if you own it for 5+ years, you are likely to pay the price of the car just on maintenance. Not to mention the fuel economy. Maybe for a lot less you can find Merc W140 with V12 engine, if it ever came to the States. That is a beast, 400hp, 580Nm, 4 speed auto. That one is also very old, and running that thing will run you to the ground if not careful but still, a really cool car. But in general, German cars lose value the moment you take it out from the dealer. Its crazy. In my opinion, Japanese cars, especially quality Toyotas keep their value really good. i.e. Here in Europe a Land Cruiser Prado 3.0 diesel engine from 2004 is 25k with 160k km / 100k miles. That thing is really old, and brand new it was around 60k. So half the price in 15 years. And some of those Lexus LS models keep the price really good.

[@EddieX]

Torque = a lot. In all seriousness I think what the other commenter said was accurate. This was full out luxury, I agree and would probably end up in an S8 or RS7! Amazing car tho
