AUDI A8
Saloon TDI QUATTRO special order (2018/18)
⭐️SPECIAL ORDER ⭐️
🇮🇪 182 AUDI A8 50 TDI QUATTRO AUTO — SPECIAL ORDER | MASSIVE SPEC | EXCEPTIONALLY LOW MILEAGE
GALWAY CARS are delighted to present this exceptional 2018 (182) Audi A8 50 TDI Quattro Automatic — a genuinely special-order example of Audi’s flagship luxury saloon with an outstanding factory specification.
Finished in the timeless and highly desirable combination of Mythos Black Metallic with Saiga Beige Valcona Leather, this is certainly not your average A8. The original specification sheet shows that the car was ordered with an extraordinary £8,675 of additional factory options on top of an already comprehensive standard specification. The documented UK configured price when new was £76,890. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
Using the historical currency equivalent, those factory options alone represented approximately €9,800–€10,000, and that is simply a conversion of the documented UK option prices — not an Audi Ireland new-car price. An equivalent specification purchased new through the Irish market would have represented a very substantial flagship luxury-car purchase.
SPECIAL-ORDER FACTORY SPECIFICATION
The specification is where this particular A8 really stands apart.
It was ordered with stunning 20-inch 10-Spoke Y-Design Forged Alloy Wheels, originally a £2,850 factory option, together with HD Matrix LED Headlights with Dynamic Front & Rear Indicators (£1,900) and a Panoramic Glass Sunroof (£1,600).
It also received Acoustic Double Glazing (£675), the Extended Multi-Coloured LED Interior Lighting Package (£580), Privacy Glass (£495), Headlight Washers (£350) and the Comfort Front Centre Armrest (£225). spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
Converted approximately to euro equivalents, that represents around:
* 20” Forged Y-Design Alloy Wheels — €3,220
* HD Matrix LED Headlights — €2,150
* Panoramic Glass Sunroof — €1,810
* Acoustic Double Glazing — €760
* Extended Multi-Colour Interior Lighting — €655
* Privacy Glass — €560
* Headlight Washers — €400
* Comfort Front Centre Armrest — €255
* Mythos Black Metallic
* Saiga Beige Valcona Leather
Approximately €9,800–€10,000 equivalent in additional factory equipment alone, based on historical conversion of the documented UK option prices.
3.0 V6 TDI • 286HP • 600NM • QUATTRO
Under the bonnet is Audi’s superb 2,967cc V6 turbo-diesel, producing 286HP (210kW) and a huge 600Nm of torque.
Power is delivered through an 8-speed automatic transmission and Audi’s Quattro permanent four-wheel-drive system. Despite being a full-size luxury limousine, the specification records 0–100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, with a maximum speed of 250 km/h / 155 mph. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
That combination of enormous low-down torque, Quattro traction and smooth automatic transmission makes the A8 an exceptional long-distance car. It is effortless at motorway speeds, extremely refined and yet has serious performance available whenever required.
ADAPTIVE AIR SUSPENSION
As you would expect from Audi’s flagship saloon, the engineering underneath the car is every bit as impressive as the interior.
The specification includes independent multi-link suspension with air springs front and rear, suspension levelling and selectable driving modes affecting the suspension, steering and engine response. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
This gives the A8 its famous combination of exceptional ride comfort and high-speed stability. It is designed to cover long distances with an extraordinary level of refinement.
SAIGA BEIGE VALCONA LEATHER LUXURY INTERIOR
Open the doors and the specification becomes even more impressive.
The beautiful Saiga Beige Valcona Leather provides a stunning contrast against the Mythos Black exterior. The light leather, combined with the large panoramic glass roof, creates an incredibly bright, spacious and luxurious cabin.
The front seats are heated and electrically adjustable, with the specification recording 10-way electrical adjustment, while the steering wheel is also electrically adjustable. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
The cabin incorporates premium leather, wood, alloy and suede-style trim materials, reinforcing the fact that the A8 was designed as Audi’s ultimate luxury model. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
PANORAMIC GLASS SUNROOF
The Panoramic Glass Sunroof is one of the major factory options fitted to this car.
Combined with the Saiga Beige Valcona Leather, it completely transforms the interior and adds to the sense of space expected from a flagship luxury saloon.
This option alone carried a documented UK factory price of £1,600, approximately €1,810 equivalent at the historical conversion used for the advert. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
HD MATRIX LED HEADLIGHTS
Another major highlight is the optional HD Matrix LED Headlight system with Dynamic Front & Rear Indicators.
This was a substantial £1,900 factory option, approximately €2,150 equivalent, and is one of the features that really distinguishes this particular A8 from lower-specification examples. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
The sophisticated lighting technology is complemented beautifully by the A8’s imposing front design and gives the car fantastic road presence both during the day and at night.
ACOUSTIC DOUBLE GLAZING
This A8 was also special ordered with Acoustic Double Glazing.
It is exactly the kind of option that may not immediately stand out in a photograph but makes an enormous difference when driving the car. Additional acoustic insulation helps isolate the passenger compartment from wind and external road noise, contributing to the exceptionally quiet environment expected from Audi’s flagship limousine.
EXTENDED MULTI-COLOURED INTERIOR LIGHTING
The optional Extended Multi-Coloured LED Interior Lighting Package completely changes the atmosphere of the A8 after dark.
Combined with the digital displays, Valcona leather and panoramic roof, the ambient lighting gives the interior a beautifully modern and sophisticated appearance.
DIGITAL COCKPIT & HEAD-UP DISPLAY
Technology is another area where this generation of A8 excels.
The specification records three 12.3-inch touch-sensitive multifunction displays, together with a reconfigurable TFT instrument display and Head-Up Display.
Important driving information can therefore be positioned directly in the driver’s line of sight, while the main infotainment and vehicle functions are integrated into Audi’s sophisticated digital interface.
SATELLITE NAVIGATION • APPLE CARPLAY • ANDROID AUTO
The specification includes a 12.3-inch colour satellite-navigation system with touchscreen operation, 3D mapping, voice control and traffic information. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
Smartphone integration includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while Bluetooth connectivity provides hands-free telephone operation and audio streaming. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
The specification also records a 10-speaker audio system including a subwoofer, providing the quality of entertainment expected in a premium executive car. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO
The A8’s advanced driver-assistance equipment makes it particularly impressive as a motorway and long-distance vehicle.
The specification includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, allowing the vehicle to automatically adjust its speed according to traffic conditions. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
It is joined by Lane Departure Warning with steering intervention, Traffic Sign Recognition and collision-warning technology with braking assistance. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
PARKING ASSISTANCE & REAR CAMERA
For a full-size luxury saloon, parking technology is extremely important.
This A8 specification includes front and rear parking sensors together with rear camera guidance, making manoeuvring significantly easier despite the car’s substantial dimensions. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
KEYLESS LUXURY & EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE
The impressive specification continues with keyless entry and keyless start, together with a hands-free electrically operated boot. spec_check_WT18OEN.pdf
These are the small details that make an A8 such an effortless car to live with every day.

WHY THIS A8 IS DIFFERENT
There are plenty of Audi A8s on the market, but finding one with this combination of low mileage, colour combination, engine, Quattro drivetrain and expensive factory options is considerably more difficult.
The specification sheet tells the story. This car wasn’t ordered to a basic price point. Someone specifically selected the forged 20-inch wheels, HD Matrix lighting, panoramic roof, acoustic glazing, extended ambient lighting, privacy glass and beautiful Valcona leather interior to create a genuinely luxurious A8.
It combines the effortless performance of a 286HP / 600Nm V6 TDI, the security of Quattro permanent four-wheel drive, the comfort of adaptive air suspension and the refinement of Audi’s flagship cabin.
For someone looking for a proper luxury executive saloon rather than simply another used premium car, this is a particularly impressive example.
A very special 182 A8, exceptionally low mileage and an enormous factory specification — exactly the type of car that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
