🚘 2011 Audi A8 4.2 TDI V8 Quattro – Rare Low-Kilometre Example
A beautifully maintained example of Audi’s flagship A8, powered by the exceptional 4.2L V8 twin-turbo diesel with Quattro all-wheel drive.
The car is in excellent condition for its age, drives beautifully and everything operates exactly as it should. It has been regularly serviced and maintained throughout its life, with substantial recent mechanical and preventative maintenance already completed.
A fresh Victorian Roadworthy Certificate was completed approximately three weeks ago, so the car is ready for its next owner.
With approximately 149,000 km, this is a particularly rare example of the 4.2 TDI A8 in Australia. Most examples of this specification now have considerably higher kilometres.
🔥 ENGINE & PERFORMANCE
• 4.2L V8 twin-turbo diesel
• 258kW and 800Nm
• Quattro all-wheel drive
• 8-speed automatic transmission
• Effortless acceleration and enormous torque
• Outstanding long-distance comfort and excellent highway economy
This is the engine that makes this A8 particularly special. The combination of V8 performance, huge torque, Quattro traction, refinement and diesel economy is increasingly difficult to find.
🔧 EXTENSIVE RECENT MAINTENANCE
A substantial amount of mechanical and preventative maintenance has already been completed, including:
• Both front air suspension struts professionally replaced by a European vehicle specialist – $3,770
• Front suspension extensively refreshed, including control arm bushes, caster arm bushes and link rods
• New climate-control / air-conditioning compressor
• Genuine new water pump
• Four new tyres
• New rear brake pads
• New high-performance battery
• MMI optical-fibre cables replaced – infotainment system operates perfectly
• Last scheduled service completed approximately 4,000 km ago
Invoices for the major recent work are available for inspection.
📚 HISTORY & CONDITION
• Full service history
• 2 keys
• Current Victorian RWC, completed approximately three weeks ago
• No finance owing
• No written-off history
• Mechanically excellent
• Everything works as it should
⭐ FLAGSHIP LUXURY, LIGHTING & SAFETY EQUIPMENT
• Adaptive Xenon Plus headlights with cornering function
• Adaptive High Beam Assist – automatic high/low beam control
• LED daytime running lights
• Automatic headlight levelling and headlight washers
• Electric glass sunroof
• BOSE Premium Sound System
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Blind Spot Monitoring
• Lane Departure Warning
• Soft-close doors on all four doors
• Power-operated boot with remote opening/closing
• Heated steering wheel
• Reverse camera
• Front and rear parking sensors
• 8 airbags
• ABS and Brake Assist
💬 REASON FOR SALE
Due to changed health circumstances, I now drive considerably less than I used to and mostly make shorter trips. For this reason, I am looking to move from a large diesel to a smaller petrol vehicle.
There is absolutely no mechanical reason for the sale, the A8 is running beautifully and I would otherwise happily keep it.
I may also consider a swap/trade for a quality petrol vehicle of similar value and condition, with an appropriate cash adjustment depending on the vehicle.
🏁 A RARE FLAGSHIP A8
This is not an average high-kilometre A8. It is a low-kilometre, properly maintained 4.2 TDI V8 Quattro with substantial recent maintenance already completed.
Powerful, exceptionally comfortable and beautifully refined, while still capable of remarkable fuel economy for a V8 luxury sedan.

Genuine enquiries are welcome. Inspection and test drive will not disappoint.

Overview
Audi has a history of pushing the technological envelope with its largely alloy-bodied A8. The latest version does much the same, while offering more length and width to upgrade passenger comfort and further challenge Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series. New (optional) technology includes handwriting recognition, LED headlights and thermal optics for the night-vision system. The petrol 4.2-litre V8 engine develops 273kW/445Nm and drives through Audi?s eight-speed Tiptronic auto transmission. It claims an impressive fuel consumption average of 9.5L/100km.
