🚘 MY 2011 Audi A8 4.2 TDI V8 Quattro – Rare Low KM Example
If you know these cars, you know how rare this specification is in Australia — especially with such low kilometres.
Most 4.2 TDI examples in Australia have well over 200,000km.
This vehicle presents with significantly lower mileage and extensive recent maintenance.
I would also consider a swap for a petrol vehicle of similar value and condition.
Happy to look at options, with cash adjustment from the other party if required.
🔥 Performance
4.2L V8 Turbo Diesel
Quattro AWD
Effortless torque and smooth power delivery
Strong performance with excellent highway fuel efficiency
A unique combination of power, refinement and economy — something very few vehicles can offer.
On the road, other cars genuinely feel small beside it.

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.
