Audi A8 Edition 21 Celebrates 21 Years of the A8

One of Audi’s most popular models has turned 21, and instead of popping a few bottles to celebrate, the marque went another route.

The first generation of the A8 — The first generation A8

Limited to just 121 examples in both standard and Long Wheelbase body styles is the Audi A8 Edition 21, a limited edition run of the A8 introduced by Audi UK in a press release July 24. It’s already available for ordering, but all are exclusively available to customers in the United Kingdom.

The front and rear bumpers have been redesigned for this exclusive model, as were the side sills, with all three heavily influenced by the design of the S8. The 20-inch double spoke alloy wheels are also exclusive to this model, offering “a titanium-look finish,” as the release describes, meant to complement each of the four colors available. The interior is available in two colors, either cognac brown with black contrast stitching or black leather with red contrast stitching.

Under the hood is a 3.0-liter V6 TDI engine good for 258 hp and 427 lb-ft. Top speed is limited to 155 mph, but a 0-62 mph sprint only takes 5.9 seconds in this stunning limited-edition sedan. Check out the photos below, and if you aren’t in the UK and able to order one for yourself, check out our exclusive listings of A8s for sale and find one for your daily drive.
