Have you ever painted your living room? If the answer is yes, then you are probably familiar with the myriad of colors available at your local supply store.
Usually, you start off strong and imagine bright red or some sort of modern striped look. But if you are anything like us, then you probably chickened out and went with some dirty white tone. For example, vanilla cream is a nice way of saying pale yellow and magnolia is pretty much the same thing.
Audi is not the first automaker you think of when somebody says "exclusive limousine." Nevertheless, the A8L is still getting a lot of attention, despite being older than the A6 and the A7. Garnished with LED headlights, this particular long wheelbase car has been painted in a color called Magnolia, from the Audi Exclusive catalog.
The owner has particularly good taste, as the mirrors that are usually painted silver by Audi Exclusive shoppers are finished in the same color as the body. Vavona bronze wood is the dominant feature of the interior, picked straight from the same custom goodies catalog.
Together with the Valcona brown leather, it gives the A8 L a classic look that's not unlike luxury Italian furniture. Modern touches come in the form of several brushed aluminum inserts and Rear Seat Entertainment package with headrest monitors and console controls. If you take enough time to examine the detail, the cream Alcantara roof liner, and brown leather steering wheel will pop out.
The Long Audi A8 is a 4.2 TDI V8 model powered by a diesel engine developing 385 hp and 850 Nm (626.93 lb-ft) of torque. That means it's good for a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 4.9 seconds, thanks to a quattro AWD and an 8-speed automatic. In base form, one of these bad boys will set you back €105,200 in Germany, but that custom interior alone has to be worth at least €10,000 extra. Mind you, there are even more exclusive versions of the A8L, like the €142,500 W12 model with 500 horsepower.
