Every brand has its own history. Of course, only car companies with a development history of nearly a hundred years can truly be called a brand history. During the development of Audi, Audi has always been closely related to the name Horch, because Audi is German Horch translated into Latin, and Horch Horch is the founder of Audi and Horch, and the racer who won the Alps International Rally Championship. Today we are talking about the Audi A8L Horch Founder's Edition produced in memory of him.
The founder version of Audi A8L is to add a more luxurious A8L model, just like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has Maybach. But compared to Maybach, Horch did not form an independent brand under Audi, but was directly divided into an extended version of the A8L model, which is different from the "Maybach" route.
Audi A8L Horch Founder Edition has a significantly different aura from ordinary A8L models. In terms of appearance, the difference from the ordinary version of A8L is not very big, mainly because more chrome decoration is used on the grille, fog lamp decorative cover, reflector, and rear bumper, especially the electroplated reflector is rare in Audi models.
In terms of size, the rear row of the Audi A8L Horch Founder’s Edition is 130mm longer than that of ordinary A8L models. The length, width, and height are 5450mm, 1945mm, and 1486mm, and the wheelbase is 3258mm.
Of course, the most special thing about this car is the 20-inch electroplated wheels. The fully enclosed design makes the car more aggressive. This design style is completely different from the ordinary version, highlighting a different kind of solemnity and stability.
The Audi A8L Horch Founder Edition adopts a unique four-seater layout. The left and right sides of the rear row are equipped with entertainment screens, electric sunshades and small tables, which seem to be standard configurations among executive-level cars.
In terms of comfort, the rear seats are both soft and supportive. At the same time, it supports the "boss seat" and supports a one-button lying down mode. When the start button is pressed, the front seats will move forward and fold, and at the same time open the foot rest on the seat back, and the rear seats will also move forward to form a lying position suitable for straight legs.
Of course, there are also many unique configurations in the interior, such as double-block refrigerators, 220v power sockets, B&O audio that can raise and lower the tweeter, etc., all of which are considered in detail.
For the power part, the Audi A8L Horch Founder Edition is equipped with a 3.0T engine, which can achieve excellent data of 340 horsepower and 500 Nm. The overall driving texture is very stable. First of all, there is sufficient reserve in power data. At the same time, the variable damping air suspension is adjusted to be soft and resilient, and the filtering effect of ground bumps is excellent.
Whether it is driving or riding, you can enjoy it just right on this car. For example, the agility and smoothness of the power output make you forget that this is a car with a body size of more than 5.4 meters. While the control is precise, the sporty characteristics of the steering can still be effectively retained.
Summary:
in the Audi brand, from the quattro full-time four-wheel drive system, to the first application of LED matrix headlights, to the AR glasses to achieve in-car interaction and control, these are the continuous innovations from the high-tech Audi. As the flagship of flagships, the Audi A8L Horch Founder's Edition has more comprehensive technological features and enjoyment experience. The
luxury car competition is often a competition between these centuries-old brands. Although each has its own advantages, there are not many that can have a significant label in their respective fields and leave a memory point. The century-old history of Audi has allowed the car to continue to evolve, and it is also the continuation of Mr. August Horch's dedication to technology and performance.
