It’s sad but also exciting for the future of electric Audis.

​@@mastersilence3446exciting lmao. No. Instead of interesting big engines we get boring lame electric toy cars

@@sqarefox3928 wait for the new taxes for e-cars , as the governments will miss the petrol taxes.

@@mastersilence3446 Eww, electric cars.

Detueftler W12 Motoren sind für ihre Laufruhe bekannt und bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten ist die Fahrdynamik sehr angenehm. Gibt man dem Pferdchen aber die Sporen, gallopiert es gut voran :)

haha ja tak samo

Und heidi

+Kellan Larson In Germany, its not a nice gesture, its the law. Which makes sense, because overtaking on the right is strictly forbidden. In combination, it usually makes for a pretty organized autobahn.

+Benedocta I guess you meant overtaking on the right is strictly forbidden ;)

sway2388 Yes thank you, I corrected it.

+Benedocta I also meant fast lane, not last lane. In America, we have idiots driving and those idiots feel the need to drive 50mph under the speed limit. It gives me relief to see that person moving for the car traveling 4 times its speed.... ahhhh bliss

Kellan Larson By the way, the "slow people" in this video are going 80-100mph ;)

audi S8 is better ; )

You're welcome. Stay tuned for more. ;)

+suloja61 Thank you ;)

Aber sowas von! ;)

AlbanianScope Wenn man in S schaltet wird meines Wissens nur die Overdrive Funktion aktiviert, d.h. der Motor dreht höher. Bei anderen Modellen ist der Sportmodus unter anderem mittels eines Knopfdrucks erreichbar. Von daher glaube ich weniger, dass es für kurze Beschleunigungen negative Auswirkungen hat ;) Liebe Grüße

Thank you very much! We'll try our best to get one! greetings from Germany

Was also fun to drive :)

+Riz 艾睿哲 Will do in the future ;)

We reached about 275 km/h (171 mph).

+bio logisch the sport mode uses higher rpms. At speeds above 200 km/h the car is still in 5th gear. At higher speeds the car shifts into 6th (last gear) so it doesn't make a difference if it's in sport or drive.

+Paweł Raczyński Danke, die Uhr ist von Fossil. Lg

Name von die Uhr ist "Lego-Super-Uhr"

I guess we've just learned about that magic lever after the drive. Jokes aside, that is a bad habit we've broken by now. ;)

Forgot youre not driving a bimmer? Xd

That's for peasants. We, 12 cylinder engine drivers, don't need to indicate anything.

we're rich enough peasants should know where we going

Optional extra. Nobody specs it though.

tequilla1304 when you’re in S(sport) mode you can hold the rpm’s at a higher range making it easy to overtake other cars...so once he passed them up he just put it back to D(drive) mode to drive normally

Warum denn nicht :D

+Jonas Bro n kollege vom mir hat einfach mal n foto vom seinem tacho gemacht als er 300 gefahren ist 0.o

Ich denke mal besser als bei 260 Sachen geblendet zu werden ;)

Funktionieren dann besser die Bremsen, glaubst Du? :)

Bei 240 die ausfahrt nehmen 😅

:DDDDDDD

+Jason Watson Yes, the ESP was active.

+Senaijd wenn du deinen führerschein hast wirst du dir mit sicherheit nicht direkt so ne karre leisten können

Hm, doch werde ich mir schon leisten können.

Darf ich wissen was du arbeitest?

"Ich arbeite jetzt nichts", ich bin Schüler. Ich werde mir dieses KFZ definitiv leisten können, wenn sogar auch als 4.2 TDI FL, ist gar kein Problem ich weiß was ich mit meinem Geld mache, was ich jeden Monat/Jahr bekomme und Finanzielle Probleme haben wir auch nicht. Ich verstehe halt echt nicht, woran du feststellen kannst, dass ich mir so einen Audi o.b. nicht leisten könnte? Ich weiß, Steuern, Versicherung vor allem in meinem Alter, Verschleißteile wechseln und Verbrauch, dass diese ganzen kosten auf mich zukommen werden weiß ich, doof bin ich nicht, Ahnungslos auch nicht mein guter. Diese ganzen Sachen schrecken mich nicht davon ab, mir mein Traumauto zu kaufen. Jetzt kommen wieder die ganzen Leute, die einen Corsa C für 5000€ kaufen, einen A8 D3 VFL kriegt man für unter 10K, manchmal auch FL 4.2. Selbst 200TKM o.m. schrecken mich nicht davon ab.

Ich habe nicht gesagt das du dir so ein Auto nicht leisten kannst, ich habe gesagt das du dir nicht direkt mit 17/18 so einen Wagen holen kannst. Deinem Kommentar zufolge bezahlen deine Eltern dir das Auto (was nicht schlimmes ist nur dann kannst du nicht sagen das DU dir den Wagen leisten kannst. Und woher willst du wissen was du später verdienst? Du kannst dich für deinen "Traumjob" bewerben, doch du hast keine Garantie, dass die dich auch nehmen.). Zu meiner Verteidigung muss ich sagen, dass ich von dem aktuellsten Modell ausgegangen bin.

(Here is that guy's experience he posted in those threads!!!) Quick short summary of me owning my W12. Facts: 2007 6.0L W12. Owned for about a year, put around 30-35k on the vehicle. The car came fully loaded, every single option, fridge included. The main advantage of the W12 is obviously the engine, the backup cam, and the nice leather everywhere. The rear seat room, TV's and fridge sure were very nice, but me being a single guy with no family the rear seats were rarely used and when they were it was a friend/family member sitting in back pushing every single button annoying the hell out of me ! From owning the car at 40k - 75k, I put about 3.5k +/- into simple and unavoidable maintenance. Not preventative maintenance. This included new air strut; Arnott, $1200 installed - $300 core refund. $1100 coolant sensor replacement (partially drop engine and tranny). $800 +/- to have the bluetooth module replaced and the coolant drained/refilled (was super dirty). $200 MMI update to newest FW. I also had the A/C recharged as the cold that would come out was absolutely laughable. What was a shame was the car was completely maintained and on time before I bought the car. Mind you all the repairs I had done, were shopped around for the best price/quality of fix. Outside of maintenance I also put in quite a bit of money into making the car the way I wanted it: Tint - $400, upgraded fogs - $40, wheel spacers - $200+/-, hardwire radar detector - $75. Install AMI unit from previous car - $350 initially (second half of 2007 had the AMI, don't think this applied to W12 though). All of that sounds negative I know, but honestly looking back it was a lot of time spent in and out of dealerships, indy shops, and online diagnosing and shopping around. The experience of owning the car (when it worked) was amazing though. When someone actually knew what the car was they were amazed they saw it. Although, I almost always had to explain what the car was and point it out. Not once, not one single time did anyone come up next to me at a stop light and try to race me. Happened all the time in my friends new mustang and my buddies SRT4, but never in the W12. It was disappointing because i would have smoked them, especially when it was wet out. I did get a lot of comments on the car when I went to a large Michigan wide Audi/VW meet. I also got random compliments or curious people at gas stations simply asking if it were a W12. I also, numerous times, had ignorant people approach me and say something along the lines of "oh yeah I was thinking of getting one of these" or "yeah my buddy has an A8 too" which in either case they didn't know what the car was (many of them were gas station attendants, since the W12 frequented the gas station so often haha), or the individual thought the car was the standard A8 (4.2). Many times I took it to Woodard in Michigan, or the Woodward dream cruise (biggest car cruise/meet in the nation), and only had a few comments on the car while hoopty cars next to mine that were lowered or had tinted headlights got a lot of attention. I did not buy this car to make others jealous or like the car, I bought it because it was very rare, and I appreciated the attention to detail, exclusivity, and overall joy the car brought to my face. Overall the car went widely unnoticed for the caliber and rarity that it was. So Pros/Cons: These are specific to the W12 itself. I am not going to state the great/bad features of the A8 in general. Pros: 1. W12 engine 2. Outrageous Torque 3. Interior quality (leather everywhere) 4. Paddle shifters from a standstill, I found them not so great to use as you're actually at speed then use the manual mode. 5. Stability at high speeds and pickup of the engine at high speeds. I could be going 95mph and punch it and it can very quickly and effortlessly climb to 130+ 6. Rarity/Exclusivity of the W12 engine and having a 12 cylinder car 7. Smoothest engine I've ever experienced. I could balance a pen straight up on the engine and it wouldn't fall. 8. Valcona leather was very nice over the standard A8 9. LED DRL's Cons 1. Maintenance Cost (HUGE) 2. Frequency of needing maintenance 3. Gas mileage. Absolutely awful (I expected this though). Not once did I ever get over 20mpg. Averaged about 11-13mpg on any trip less than 5 miles, and about 16mpg on trips that were longer with light traffic. 20mpg only on clear highways, but I could be going 70-90mph and get this figure, which was nice. 3. No bluetooth streaming options, yet it has all the other bells and whistles 4. Title/Registration cost!!!! In Michigan it was $600+, the DMV had to use the computer to look it up as it was out of their standard book. I believe it goes by the initial value of the car which was roughly $120k with around $20k of options on top of that. 5. Slight lag between hitting the gas pedal and it roaring up, many of my friends have noticed it, and my buddies W12 did it as well. My 4.2L had immediate response. 6. At times the car would be searching for a gear when it should have downshifted. This always happened around 3rd gear. 7. Extreme difficultly/inability to do any maintenance on the engine outside of cabin air, air filter, and minor maintenance outside of the engine. I'm sure I will edit/change things in the future, and I already do miss the car. Just today I was at a stoplight with an asshat in a new BMW 7 series, and another guy in a E series Merc. I just wanted to use that beautiful W12 and put them to shame. None the less I am happy with my decision to part ways. My main reason was financial concerns and down the road maintenance. Every-time I drove the car I was so happy and it was an absolute amazing experience to have the car. I feel this is a car that should be bought new and appreciated then. Buying it used/with high mileage you will spend a lot of your time playing catchup or maintaining the beast. This is outside of a few W12 owners who really are techy (MP4.2, BASRAB, and TShong). I feel like other people who want to buy a W12 most likely know nothing about the car and only want it because it is a big 12 cylinder Audi. Little do they know the crazy complexity and cost that comes with such a vehicle. That is why I love AW so much. It mainly is a tight knit group of dedicated owners who really do value and appreciate the vehicles. Now I didn't leave the Audi world, I still own that amazing 2005 4.2L with 116k (only minor issues) and I still love driving it. I recently bought a Lexus to replace the W12, and although they aren't even close in terms of vehicles or similarities, but I really do enjoy the car so far.

I mean, W12 engines are known for their smooth running/idling properties and reliability but also high gas mileage and maintenance cost. I don't have much experience witheliab the A8 W12, so this guy is way better informed than me.

About 25-30l were used for making this video. ;)

+V6 Diesel Am Wochenende ist die auch schön frei ;)

Naja eigentlich geht da immer viel haha

Versuch es mal mittags :) wir haben auch manchmal Pech und es gurken einige mit 80 km/h auf der linken Spur.

Abends nach der Arbeit ist es eigentlich immer leer :) Für diese Spezialisten gibt es ja noch den Standstreifen zum überholen :)

LikoLP Das können Sie laut sagen; in unserem Test lag der Verbrauch kombiniert bei etwa 20l/100km.

+Dzevad Dzaferovic 18 - 20 Liter. Ich nehme an, dass es auf sein Gewicht zurückzuführen ist.

+Supercharged Magazine danke, wollte mir auch einen holen von 2008, ist 170000km gelaufen und ebenfalls lang, wie schaut es da mit den verschleißteilen am fahrzeug-chassi, fahrwerk, alles außerhalb vom motor sozusagen?

+Dzevad Dzaferovic was willst du denn mit dem w12 der hat keinen guten Sound für den verbrauch :D

+Taha Koc möchte einen gemütlichen luxuskreuzer mit leistung, sound brauche ich nicht

+Dzevad Dzaferovic da gibts aber auch bessere wie zb den s65 oder auch s63 oder 750

About 20l/100km in our test drives.;)

+Bogdan Cojocaru Something about 25-30 l/ 100km

+Supercharged Magazine what is the acceleration 0-100 in this Audi?

Ich träume dem Auto bis heute nach. Fantastisches Kfz

Versuchen Sie es mal sonntagmorgens. Da sind die Autobahnen in der Regel weniger stark befahren :) Es ist wirklich ein schönes Fahrzeug. Das Interieur ist erstklassig. Grüße

+Supercharged Magazine Kannst du knicken nicht auf der A8 Vor allem mit meiner rennsemmel.

+Dale33333 Nein, der ist nicht abgeregelt.

Nein, a8 sind alle frei
