AUDI’s luxury range-topping A8 ‘gets the key to the door’ as it turns 21-years-old with the launch of the bespoke limited Edition 21.

First launched in 1994, the A8 has become a favourite with the corporate company car executive and now this special edition boasts the ultimate blend of the latest developments in design, technology and luxury.

With just 121 models being brought to the UK, exclusivity for the A8 Edition 21 is guaranteed and it boasts a tailored selection of interior and exterior styling enhancements including redesigned front and rear bumpers as well as pronounced side sills. Adaptive Audi Matrix LED headlights – which debuted as an option for the new generation A8 and were the first ever fully digital LED headlights on a series production car – are also fitted as standard in conjunction with LED rear lights and dynamic indicators front and back.

Also unique to this model are 20-inch double spoke alloy wheels with a titanium-look finish that complement the four exterior colour options, which include the Daytona grey pearl effect shade that is only normally available for the 520 PS S8.  Privacy glass from the B-pillar rearwards is also standard.

In terms of infotainment and assistance systems, all Edition 21 models also gain access to the Audi connect portfolio of telephone and internet-based services to complement their HDD-based satellite navigation, plus a BOSE surround sound system in addition to the standard items fitted to SE Executive models. These include the Audi parking system advanced with reversing camera, a power-operated boot lid with hands-free opening and powered door closure.

Power for the A8 Edition 21 is an EU6-compliant 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine which produces 262PS and 580Nm of torque coupled to an eight-speed tiptronic transmission linked to quattro permanent all-wheel drive delivering acceleration to 62 mph of just 5.9 seconds.

BIK conscious company car drivers will also appreciate a combined fuel consumption of up to 47.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 155 g/km in the standard wheelbase.

Customers can expect first deliveries to begin in November and the A8 Edition 21 will be available in standard and Long Wheelbase formats priced at £72,525 OTR and £76,490 OTR.
