Default Audi A8 - shipped!

This is what the A8 looks like before it's PDId.

I was shocked to see how much protection is on this car. Great stuff!

Yup. That’s how my car rolled off the transport. Total wrap job.

Thanks^ When I took delivery of my last MB (not a flagship), I had bought it new and when I purchased it, and I bought PPF as an add on (paint protection film). So, when I took delivery, the film was already applied by the installer by the time I picked up the car. What was surprising to me was that the factory paint (bumper) was already a bit damaged and the installer just applied it blindly over the damage which then resulted in the dealers spending a boatload to repair the bumper and then reapply the film. Anyways, all that to state that it clearly was not as protected as the D5 above. I'm curious, are all Audis delivered as wrapped as the D5? Or is that reserved just for flagship cars. Does anyone know?

Based on the Youtube channel above, it appears the Q8 is equally well wrapped.

I've never observed a new Audi of any model delivered without the full wrap. I know of no other OEM's who go to this extent to protect their vehicles like Audi.
