The new A8 LWB and W12

The new A8 LWB and the new A8 LWB W12 bring a new level of luxury to the D segment. They are 130mm longer than the standard A8 and all of that extra length enhances the opulent rear-seat passenger space. First deliveries are due in December 2010.

New A8 LWB

The new A8L’s wheelbase and rear doors are longer to allow for easier access to the rear of the car.

Equipment
Standard equipment in addition to that on the standard A8
· 130mm of extra legroom in the rear
· Heated outer rear seats
· Electric rear window blind and electric side blinds
· 4-zone deluxe climate control
· Electric slide-and-tilt sunroof


The A8L costs just £3,880 more than the standard car – a £510 increase over the outgoing model that is easily offset by the efficiency of the new A8’s engines, the rear heated seats, the addition of the sunroof, the improved 4-zone climate control and the electric rear side blinds.

The new A8L has a range of truly luxurious optional extras, such as a panoramic sunroof (see image), a fridge, an executive rear seat (see image) and an extended rear centre console (see image). The full list of options will be published in the updated brochure during July 2010, for more information make sure to contafct us.


A8 LWB W12

The new A8 W12 quattro is the true flagship for the Audi range, combining luxury and performance like no other car in the class.

Equipment
The A8L W12 has a wealth of extra standard equipment over that on the SE Executive LWB models, including:
· 19-inch 15-spoke design alloy wheels
· Comfort front seats
· Individual electrically adjustable outer rear seats
· Extended leather pack plus
· Power door closure
· Twin pane UV and heat insulating glass
· All-LED headlights
· Mobile phone prep high with privacy handset and online services
· CD/DVD Changer
· BOSE® surround system

Audi’s engineers have extensively re-worked the existing 6.0 W12 engine to give an increased capacity of 6.3 litres, offer more power (from 450PS to 500PS), add FSI technology and improve efficiency.


Styling features
Subtle visual details distinguish the A8 L W12 quattro from the other new A8s. The single-frame radiator grille with integral grid structure has a high-gloss black paint finish and special chromed horizontal bars. The air inlets also have newly-designed chrome inserts, and the exterior mirrors have new chrome applications. W12 badges feature on the front single-frame grille and the rear of the car. The exhaust system has two trapezoidal-pattern tailpipe trims neatly integrated into the rear bumper.

The W12 will open for ordering towards the end of July. For more information, or to register your interest, please call 01202 775050 or e-mail chris.ryu@oceanautomotive.co.uk
