Why it matters
Audi built a kingsize version of the A8 as a one-off, developing and building it over almost a year. It meets the same standards as the series model and was approved under an EC individual approval.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionfirst single piece of the A8 L extended built to a customer request | 11 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Audi built the first example on request of a European customer; the press release states that further enquiries had already arrived. The release does not name the customer.
The main engineering challenges were safety and stiffness of the extra-long body and the six-seat layout, with all passengers facing forward.
