I'm an audi technician in washington state they usually come in with less than 40 miles. some of the rs models or the r8's can come with around 90 at times. they test those a little more rigorously. A4s usually only have 7-14 miles on them when i do the inspection
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Malcolm Vivaan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
my parents got a brand new audi when i was 4 and it worked really good.. lasted for a good 10 years then sold it ,,i still miss it .. AUDIS ARE THE BEST CARS OUT THERE...
They are covering the body so it does get damaged from shipping it to dealerships. I am American I own a 2000 A6 2.7T and love it. I can't wait to own an A8 this year as well.
It something about a BMW's rear-wheel drive that brings back my inner child. But like I said, went for the looks and got the A5 coupe. S-Line package on it. Really enjoying it. Brings a smile to my face everytime I look at the driveway :)
The Audi A8 comes standard with LED daytime running lights and Bixenon headlights regardless of the package, however the Full LED headlights are an advanced alternative to headlight lighting for the Audi A8 & A6. Its just an option, the same way a rear view camera is an option. The Full LED headlights are not another design style of LED daytime running lights, they are the actual headlights themeselves which illuminate at night the same way Bixenon headlights would.
I would give anything in the world... to work at that factory.. I would make that car with passion and heart each and every day. And in response to the guy who is crushing peoples dreams.. it may be 100k now.. but it will go down eventually. I dont care what year.. A fucking A8 is an A8.. king of the streets is what that car is.. luxury.. speed.. the perfect blend of each. Just beautiful.
I travel long distances, so I pretty much had to take a Diesel. And that engine configuration has the lowest CO2 emission, which really was a must in my country (otherwise taxes would've killed me :D).
One of the most High-Tech cars on the market,and the one probably the best interior! Build with top materials and latest possible innovations,BUT..,you enjoy it when it works..,and most of the time it doesnt!! As a long time BOSCH mechanic i can say with confidence that Audi is one of the most unreliable cars on the market! Even Kia and Hyundai are far ahead in terms of reliability!! We dont talk about dashboard leather stitching,we talk reliability!!
Nice. The new A5 looks stunning. Good choice. Honestly, before considering test driving the A8 I drove the new A4 instead (because of its looks, it was literally hypnotising me). I honestly couldn't see anything wrong with the handling. It does what it's supposed to do which is to stay straight and not roll in the corners, that's probably why you found it stiff.
@VolunteerLS110 Interesting question. I got a new A3 Sportback and it already had 14 km. on it. I wonder if they disconnect the odometer or something like that before delivering them worldwide, since all these tests and rolling onto and out of transports should put quite a few kilometers on them...
ad test drive: Take Kia's factory in Slovakia for an instance. They make Cee'd, which is mass produced small car (same size as A3). Before shipping out they test main systems and drive it around their test track. Every single one of them and they are cheaper than the cheapest Audi in production - and I mean like half the price cheaper. So believe it. Audi test every car. Just the rutine is different for different models.
Thanks for the answer. but why do they make two different headlamps? I mean aren't the full- LED lamps one of the most important features the new A8 has?
Nice. You can get more than enough performance from that. And TDI won't let you down, ever, especially when it comes to fuel economy. My 3.0 TDI A8 can average 40MPG no problem and it can get roughly 50MPG on the motorway. I don't know how it does it. FWD from Audi offers much more grip than you'd expect too. Again, good choice.
@noxis93 No I do not know what he is saying.. But I am pretty sure that the people on the microphone is making sure every single feature is working while he is driving..
@Demineralize That's true! I was just thinking about it the other day. But that's true. A Golf's a Golf even 10 years later, an A6 too. They did change the design with the advent of C5,C6. But you can go down to C4 and see they still look awesome, even though the first one was built 16 years ago! Anyways, do you maybe know what does the guy repeat in the earphone at the beginning?
@21mkelly15 I know that, but do they actually have to drive it on public road ? They could have built their own driving facility, like Lexus does in Japan.
@fastlane59 I promise that I'll keep working hard and do my best to be able to buy some day a car like that audi. Thanks for the encouragement, and good luck to you too!
Oh wait you are right. I totally forgot the problems I recently had on my 09' A4 LOL. The glovebox and alarm horn broke, But still I'm pretty sure it's not as worse as the older generation stuff.
@DJSFV12 Then they'll make it again and call the owner to tell them what happened and that their delivery will be delayed... it's unlikely that they'll crash it while testing though.
about 10 kilometers are done on a test drive but loading and unloading the car and driving about on the parking from the dealer might bring that number up to 15-20 kilometers
@itssomeidiot to keep it clean and safe even from dust and lil stones that might cause a scratch to the body while driving...sometimes people do that when they are about to go on a road trip or to travel somewhere
@noxis93 Every single audi a8 does go on the road for a test drive.. This particular vehicle is worth over 100 thousand dollars.. So every vehicle goes through every step you saw. Probably not as careful as the people demonstrated on the vid.. Because we are after all are human beings. But all Audi's are required for road test and high-quality steps as these. I know because I live next to an Audi production company and you'll see the new a8 on a road test about every 40-60 mins. I have a LED A6
@SwiftHDX I think the new 3 series and 5 series look great. Every Audi looks little bit streamlined and stretched A4. For now it goes like MB/BMW > Audi. Even Volvo's look better than Audi's nowadays.
True but they do drive great when everything works. I remember my Uncle's W220 S Class, endless problems but for the short while that it did work properly it was smooth as silk and felt like a rolling bank vault.
I am an Audi fan but i have some problems with the new A8L i drove the car 12,000 km and now i have problems with the hydraulics and some engine sounds and the leather is very cheap. So i wish that audi have new technology and better quality in the next new models.

It`s not only fascinating car but styling beauty car.Audi is awesome cars!
I love these production/assembly plant videos.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Fletcher Brodie instablaster =)
@Malcolm Vivaan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Malcolm Vivaan It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
@Fletcher Brodie glad I could help :D
Probably the best cars in the world.
my parents got a brand new audi when i was 4 and it worked really good.. lasted for a good 10 years then sold it ,,i still miss it .. AUDIS ARE THE BEST CARS OUT THERE...
D4 was the best car I owned never let me down in 5 years of ownership
10 year's later it still looks like a new
Damn, i just love this brand, they make great stylish cars.
im new to Audi.. the a8 2011 will be my first audi ever
it will arrive in the end of December enshallah ;d
It's so cool to see the A6 C6 still in production in 2011
@beeqool the white stuff is masking tape and the "black stuff" is paint
They are covering the body so it does get damaged from shipping it to dealerships. I am American I own a 2000 A6 2.7T and love it. I can't wait to own an A8 this year as well.

Just looking at those smooth roads and I compare to the ones here in Jersey and I want to cry.
Oh, fabulous car btw.

My dream car, Planning to have one within next year or so
my left ear enjoyed this...
I travel long distances, so I pretty much had to take a Diesel. And that engine configuration has the lowest CO2 emission, which really was a must in my country (otherwise taxes would've killed me :D).
this is what I call perfect Car Factory
every thing is organized and controlled
@PkBooYa I think its just special metal used for the brakes

They're still into racing and look, they still create some of the best cars around.
Nice. The new A5 looks stunning. Good choice. Honestly, before considering test driving the A8 I drove the new A4 instead (because of its looks, it was literally hypnotising me). I honestly couldn't see anything wrong with the handling. It does what it's supposed to do which is to stay straight and not roll in the corners, that's probably why you found it stiff.
thank you china and us for buying these cars.
I'd love to pick one up from the factory one day

Is a dream work in audi!
Nice

So believe it. Audi test every car. Just the rutine is different for different models.
I find it hard to believe every car goes on the road for a test drive :p

@noxis93 No I do not know what he is saying.. But I am pretty sure that the people on the microphone is making sure every single feature is working while he is driving..
@DrkMmn Well it wasn't a RS4, but was an Audi A4 of some sort, well spotted.
it makes an immediate difference when it compare with the video that was taken in China
such an emotion to see how a beauty take life...
@VolunteerLS110
If I remember correctly, legally, they can put up to 50km, but I am not sure.
Is that a fuckin' space ship or what? More buttons and knobs than just any regular car. A8, such a great machine :)
WOW it looks like new
@Demineralize That's true! I was just thinking about it the other day. But that's true. A Golf's a Golf even 10 years later, an A6 too. They did change the design with the advent of C5,C6. But you can go down to C4 and see they still look awesome, even though the first one was built 16 years ago!
Anyways, do you maybe know what does the guy repeat in the earphone at the beginning?
@stlbrian If it's the first bill, then hopefully it's under warranty
I like their wraping style!! :D
I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to afford that Audi, but awesome car, anyway.
Amazing looking car.
@TheRoedolf007 yeah, their control is much better. have you seen the video about f10-type 5-series bmw:s production?
Yeah I wonder what kind of experience of university experience you would need to work at an Audi factory plant. Friggin dream job.
@21mkelly15 I know that, but do they actually have to drive it on public road ? They could have built their own driving facility, like Lexus does in Japan.
The best car!!!!!!!!
@fastlane59
I promise that I'll keep working hard and do my best to be able to buy some day a car like that audi. Thanks for the encouragement, and good luck to you too!
you work on them, how are the 2006-08 models fair a8l?
Oh wait you are right. I totally forgot the problems I recently had on my 09' A4 LOL. The glovebox and alarm horn broke, But still I'm pretty sure it's not as worse as the older generation stuff.
Audi, VW, Skoda, Seat, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Bentley, Porsche are the best
luv u Audi from all my heart !!
nice car ~ very very nice
@DJSFV12 Then they'll make it again and call the owner to tell them what happened and that their delivery will be delayed... it's unlikely that they'll crash it while testing though.
I'm love audi.
At 6:55 why do the brakes look rusted? or it's just the way the metals look
@rigolin1771 No. They were BMW owners.
they test-drive EVERY A8 before shipping...We just bought ours and saw it on the factory tour
@ShiftUpAGear Hmm I cant really tell.. It might be, but I think its an RS6.
The Audi A8 is truley a awesome luxury car. Was that white car a 2010 Audi RS4?
Masterpiece
like the quality of audi
4 ring 4 ever ! this is AUDI
How many miles do they put on new cars before they give you the keys?
about 10 kilometers are done on a test drive but loading and unloading the car and driving about on the parking from the dealer might bring that number up to 15-20 kilometers
@itssomeidiot to keep it clean and safe even from dust and lil stones that might cause a scratch to the body while driving...sometimes people do that when they are about to go on a road trip or to travel somewhere

3:06 he was like slamming the buttons
erinnert mich an Kommissionierung in 'nem Lager mit Pick By Voice :-D
pull you're headphones out half way to hear in both ears
Simply replacing the torque converter on one of these cars is nearly a 5k repair at the dealership. Ask me how I know.

I respect Audi for making life hard for Mercedes and BMW :)
@VolunteerLS110

I am an Audi fan but i have some problems with the new A8L i drove the car
