The [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-a6-sedan) A8 L isn't exactly a short vehicle, but a request from a European client has prompted the creation of a [long vehicle with six doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-kia-telluride) over the traditional four. Looking like a stretched limo yet simply extending the size of a traditional sedan, the Audi A8 L has been created mostly from aluminum to prevent too much weight.

Aside from being a long vehicle, the Audi A8 L features six individual seats that all face forward, which is a change from the traditional design of the limo. Naturally, there are [luxury appointments throughout the vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modified-luxury-vehicle) to ensure the wealthy buyer and their passengers are kept comfortable.

This Audi A8 L vehicle has been announced as a request made to the brand, but no information on pricing has been made available.
