Emraan Hashmi's Audi A8 L

 The Audi A8 has is becoming the favourite luxury sedan in B-Town. It is quickly replacing the S Class and the 7 series. Ranbir Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt also own the Audi A8.

The Audi A8 is a four-door, full-size, luxury sedan car manufactured and marketed by the German automaker Audi since 1994. Succeeding the Audi V8, and now in its third generation, the A8 has been offered with both front- or permanent all-wheel drive—and in short- and long-wheelbase variants. The first two generations employed the Volkswagen Group D platform, with the current generation deriving the MLB platform. After the original model's 1994 release, Audi released the second generation in 2002, and the third and current iteration in 2009.A mechanically-upgraded, high-performance version of the A8 debuted in 1996 as the Audi S8.
The third-generation Audi A8 (Typ 4H) was unveiled in Design Miami 2009 on 30 November 2009. It is based on the Volkswagen Group MLB platform, but retains the Audi Space Frame aluminium construction of the previous A8, making it the lightest all-wheel drive car in the full-size luxury segment, while also giving it best-in-class fuel economy.
