Audi celebrates The Art of Progress with the All New Audi A8 L
Kuala Lumpur, March 25, 2011 – Euromobil Sdn Bhd, the sole distributor of Audi cars in Malaysia, unveiled the all new Audi A8 L in a special celebration inspired by the guiding principle “The Art of Progress”.
Since its inception, Audi has embraced progress in its quest to create groundbreaking technologies and deliver new ideas. A leader when it comes to pioneering new innovations, the development of the A8 showcases advances in science and engineering with artistic expression.
The new A8 is a reflection of supreme artistry, combining progressiveness and sportiness; the new flagship is a technological work of art brought to life by a passionate team of engineers and designers. Each person involved in the creation process contributed his or her mastery of skills with artistic fervor to create a car that embodies everything Audi stands for – innovation, perfection, skilled craftsmanship, iconic design and a visionary way of thinking.
The first A8 was launched 15 years ago as the world’s first fully-aluminium production vehicle and the first luxury sedan with all-wheel drive. Along the years, Audi continues to redefine luxury and progressive innovations resulting in a luxury sedan that is incredibly distinctive in its segment.
Euromobil is offering the long wheelbase A8 L version with an overall length of 5.27 meters (17.29 ft), an increase of 13 centimetres. The wheelbase is stretched by 13 centimeters (5.12 in) versus the standard version. The added length is to the benefit of the rear seat passengers who can enjoy the opulent spaciousness plus the a longer rear door for convenient ingress and egress.

Rear seat passengers can enjoy the convenience and comfort that comes in the form of two power-adjustable seats paired with the continuous, elegantly-styled center console with large storage compartments. The seats can also be equipped with optional features such as ventilation and massage functions, a folding table and a cool box.
Other optional attractive features include a rear seat entertainment system and a high-end sound system from Bang & Olufsen.
