2005 Audi D3 A8L W12 Quattro

The Appeal
For those who like the luxury, performance and technology of a Bentley Flying Spur but without the ostentation, there is this, the ultra rare Audi A8L W12. Add in the model’s Hollywood connection to Ronin, featuring one of the best car chases in history, and you surely have the ultimate luxury limousine.
This LWB D3 A8 shares the drivetrain and innovative 6litre W12 from the Flying Spur. There is 500bhp on tap, enough to propel this spacious executive express to 60mph in 5secs. The quality rivals the Bentley, exhibiting Audi’s legendarily fastidious approach to details like the panel fit and finish and the switchgear.
It is a very low mileage car - only 55,000 miles from new - and has had just one registered keeper. Finished in handsome Oyster grey metallic with a charcoal leather cabin, it is sumptuously appointed and in very good condition.
With full Audi service history - most recently at 52,794 miles - and a long MOT with no advisories to July 2025, this is a proper treat for fans of rare and thoroughly cosetting super saloons.
