New Audi A8 models are now on sale in the UK. The "entry-level" six-cylinder, 220bhp 3.0 petrol model (from £46,175) and 233bhp 3.0 TDI quattro diesel (from £47,380) both feature Audi's Multitronic CVT auto gearbox, and both meet the Euro 4 emissions regulations, entitling the 3.0 TDI to exemption from the 3 percent company car tax diesel surcharge. Also new to the range is the long-wheelbase A8 L 6.0 quattro, featuring the 450bhp W12 petrol engine.
*We've already driven the A8 L 6.0 quattro - see the link below; come back to 4Car tomorrow for a road test of the new A8 3.0 and 3.0 TDI Quattro models.
