Many consider Audi to be the ultimate car brand over in Japan, what with their Vorsprung durch Technik innovations and all. And to thank its loyal customers, Audi has commissioned a limited edition A8 model called the 5.5 that comes with a feature no Bentley or Rolls Royce offers.
There's nothing worse for a businessman on the go than to not be able to find a place that serves your favorite food. Everybody hates a non-sticky onigiri or tasteless ramen.
That's why Audi's already innovative A8 long wheelbase sedan has transformed itself into a catering service on wheels. Japanese and German engineers collaborated for several years in order to seamlessly integrate the central armrest at the back of the car.
Temperature and pressure controls, a timer and numerous other settings have replaced traditional climate control functions. But who cares about being hot when the rice is perfectly cooked, right?
And as part of their endless pursuit of tailor-made comfort, the interior of the A8 has been lavishly re-trimmed. Gone is the black leather, replaced by cream and green upholstery, just like the one you'd find in a traditional restaurant.
A matching set of tea cups, plates and bowls have been tailored and will be delivered to each buyer of the A8 5.5, together with a lifetime supply of premium rice.
Editor's note: In case you didn't know, Audi also has its own branded bathhouse and Volkswagen built a Beetle tub. Don't judge, these people pride themselves on cleanliness!
Update: The car is a joke, of course, but the wooden spoon is very real. One of our friends got one with his new S1. We think the tea cups are real too because we've seen them before.
