The car was built at the request of a European customer whose identity is unknown.audi-a8-l-six-door (2) audi-a8-l-six-door (3)The Audi A8 L extended was developed and built over the span of almost a year. The major challenges for the company were the safety and the rigidity of the extra large body of the car. The Audi A8 L extended measures 6.36 meters (20.9 ft) in length and has a wheelbase of 4.22 meters (13.8 ft). The car has low weight due to the Audi Space Frame Design made of aluminium, that is used in its construction. The engineers extended the side sills and center tunnel using extruded aluminum sections. Inside the tunnel, these also assist with the air routing. A double rear bulkhead separates the passenger compartment from the luggage compartment; the roof incorporates additional aluminium profiled tubes and cross-braces. These measures provide torsional and flexural rigidity almost on a par with the A8 L*.audi-a8-l-six-door (8) audi-a8-l-six-door (5)The Audi A8 L extended comes with six doors and is finished in moonlight blue metallic paint. The wheelbase is 1.09 meters (3.6 ft) than the regular A8 L model. The whole body has been reworked from the A pillar to maintain the harmonious roof line.

The Audi A8 L extended features six seats that are finished in extra-supple Valcona leather, in tvelvet beige. All the seats face the direction of travel in the car. The second and third rows have electrically adjustable individual seats. The third row also has a continuous centre console, a Rear Seat Entertainment display and a cool box.The sun blinds, one for each row of seats prevent overheating of the interior in strong sunlight.
