Audi A8 Venom Edition - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

M-17 · 12-16-2011, 09:50 PM

Even though the A8 is not as popular as the BMW 7-Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class in the German tuning scene, Audi's offering in the luxury limousine sector definitely has its fans.
The latest creation to hit the streets is named the Audi A8 Venom Edition and it comes courtesy of Anderson Germany.
The first thing you'll notice about the car is the eye-catching satin gunmetal gray with the front grill, all emblems, plus the door handles and window surrounds finished in gloss black. The dark theme continues with the tinted windows and smoked lights.
The previous generation A8's look is enhanced by a new aero package comprising of front and rear aprons, side skirts and front fender extensions with air outlets. Anderson Germany also added LED daytime running lights up front and carbon fiber mirror caps, while the finishing touch comes from the new 22-inch alloy wheels shod in 265 tires.
We don't have any pictures of the interior, but Anderson Germany tells us that the door panels, center console and the new sports steering wheel are trimmed in carbon fiber, while the seats and the cabin are dressed in a mix of leather and Alcantara in light gray.
Performance modifications include a new exhaust system with a racing catalyst as well as a sports air filter and optimized software for the A8's 4.2-liter V8 that lift output to 442HP, up from 350HP, plus a lowered sports suspension. - CarScoop

So what's your take on this Audi?

They're still murdering out cars?

My take is that is looks bad, as in, low level drug dealer with poor taste and too much money bad, and the name, venom? what??? Audi is about class, not raping comic book characters.

^ So true man. Honestly I know plenty of people who would think this is an awesome car or just a boss "dealer's whip."

I like the wheels but that is about it. The paint is just too much when it suppose to be low profile it might as well be the Batman's Tumbler. Why is it called Venom? I don't get the name.

Agree on the tacky name, I thought this was Hennessy car when I read the name. But the satin actually better than a bling.

No 'S', no care.

I thought the BRZ's port holes are not stylish, but this things are straight offensive; yuck!

Well, I on the other hand, love the paint. Its my honest opinion.
