2016 Audi A8 L W12 Automated Driving – Video

Celebrities like George Clooney, Channing Tatum and the Berlinale jury president Meryl Streep triggered a flurry of camera flashes at the opening of the 66th Berlin International Film Festival. A driverless Audi A8 L W12 drove up to the red carpet. On-board was movie star Daniel Brühl.

The Audi A8 L W12 is the pinnacle of the model series. Its naturally aspirated gasoline engine – extremely short and lightweight thanks to its W layout – produces 500 horsepower (368 kW) and 625 Nm (461.0 lb-ft.) torque from its 6.3 liters of engine displacement. At low engine load, the specially developed cylinder on demand (COD) system is active.

The standard equipment on the top-of-the-line model – including the Matrix LED headlights, the individual rear seats and many other features – can satisfy even the most discerning requirements. Exclusive options include the Audi exclusive concept trim line with leather by the Italian custom handcrafting company Poltrona Frau.
