Audi Announces Exclusive Interiors for the A8 and A8L

[George@Fourtitude]

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Audi has unveiled new Exclusive Interior Packages for the company’s flagship A8 line. Audi is a known leader in interior design and the new packages, designed by Audi’s subsidiary quattro GmbH, are certain to raise the benchmark even higher in premium automobiles. These packages are available as sold order options on the standards and long wheelbase A8 4.2 quattro models, and retails for $11,500.

The Exclusive Interiors includes Valcona leather seating in three unique colors: Classic Red, Cognac, and Mojave Sand, accented with black piping, and black floor mats trimmed with color matching the Audi Exclusive Interior color.

Another unique feature of the packages is wood trim matched to suit the design scheme. This enhanced wood trim is available in Myrtle Nutmeg with the Classic Red interior, Maple Copper with the Cognac interior, and Poplar Saffron with Intarsia with the Mojave Sand interior. A wood and leather steering wheel and wood shift knob add to the distinct character of the Audi Exclusive Interior packages. The packages are topped off with a distinguished alcantara headliner that accents the interior choice.

235 designo Graphite Edition Feel the craftsmanship of a designo edition in the smooth surfaces of the extraordinary leather and the beauty of the premium materials in the carefully selected and richly detailed wood. All designo woods are shaped and finished by hand, then matched by the expert eye of a craftsman. This ensures that every detail in each designo edition contributes to the singular character and a harmonious feeling that only a master's touch can create. Inside the S-Class Graphite Edition, exquisite Brown Poplar wood trim graces the console, dash and doors. Graphite Nappa leather dresses the seats, doors and floor mat borders, further accentuating the exclusivity of these models. Outside, designo Graphite paint signals that this is not your typical S-Class. With their unique statements of style, these packages are not for everyone. But if you cherish quality and preciously guard your individuality, a Mercedes-Benz designo edition just might be the perfect answer.

I've seen quote a few Designo S's and SL's. They seem to have no shortage of people lining up to pay a similar amount for a similar package. This package seems like a good move to me.

Damn fully load up an A8L W12 with this exclusive interior and the Bang and Olufsen sound system and you're getting pretty high up there in price. Approximately $144,376.50 given conversion from the 6,000 EUR price of the sound system.
