2011 Audi A8L coming to the Beijing Motor Show

The long wheelbase 2011 Audi A8L makes its debut at the Beijing Motor Show next month. So far, Audi has yet to announce the technical details of the 2011 A8L.

There are rumors that the new A8L will be powered by the 4.2 FSI V8 petrol engine, which delivers 372 hp and 445 Nm of torque and is mated to the 8-speed tiptronic transmission. Due to the added weight, it’s likely that the performance is reduced somewhat.

Finally! hehe... I'm a big long wheelbase fan. I hope they do something special. BMW said they would with the LWB 7er but they didn't :(

They make a long-wheelbase A4 for the Chinese market. Not sure what it looks like in person, but I have to say that I'd be interested in that.

There will be a difference in look between the two wheelbases. The NWB model has a more coupe like roof line as you've already seen, but the LWB model will have a more "formal" roofline. It's 5in longer than the car we've already seen which makes it 3in longer than the outgoing model.

" Due to the added weight, it’s likely that the performance is reduced somewhat." (Quote from article) I have a strong feeling that Audi are going to pull off a similar trick as with the outgoing A8L - Very little added weight for an additional "5-7"inches in rear leg room!
