Five-Point Inspection: 2015 Audi A8 L TDI quattro Tiptronic

A Truly Gr8 Luxury Car

The A8 is Audi’s flagship model, sitting at the top of its core lineup. Serving a diversity of luxury customers, the car is offered in two different wheelbases with a variety of engine options. There’s a supercharged V6, two flavors of twin-turbocharged V8 and even an exotic W12.

Beyond these choices there’s also a diesel, presumably for miserly customers that want to save money at the pump. Available exclusively with the stretched-wheelbase body, the A8 L TDI is an interesting option in its segment.
