Another crazy turn in events! Blue car is fixed, Audi had a master technician come in with the needed part and install it. Good to go, car arrives tomorrow. Moonlight/sarder executive pack, driver assist and 20” wheels.

Was kind of getting into the Vesuvius color, but moonlight is my #1 choice after all.

Derf do you have any nice photos of a moonlight a8 as I will need a fix until it comes in

A bit upsetting that the first edition package is nowhere to be found on the build page on audi.ca or audiusa.com.

Where did you guys get this info? Dealer?

Do internet search of dealer A8L inventory and you will find links to these First Edition US spec cars. For example: https://www.audistuart.com/new/Audi/...5fb95c1c17.htm

As I understand it, the First Edition package is being offered on a limited initial run of A8Ls. Never saw it on the on-line A8 U.S. configurator, and cannot be ordered any longer. It was listed on the September Order Guide, but it was only available on "pre-built" cars and is no longer available to order. From the OG:

First Edition package (not available for ordering / pre-built units only) Option Code 999 $3900.00
Luxury package (req. WTL & PAW)
Painted brake calipers, black
Lighting package (req. WTL)

Never saw it on the on-line A8 U.S. configurator, and not sure if it can be ordered any longer---maybe, perhaps...I just don't know since I haven't really followed up on it.

Thank you. I find it hilarious though that they still called it the A8 3.0T

Seems like you guys get this in the US, versus we get complimentary Audi Care in Canada. Oh well, seems cool though. I'd rather have the latter though as I'm doing a factory build, but definitely good to know. Thanks!

Congrats on getting your #1 color choice. I'll bet Audi wanted to get their hands on that vent motor to diagnose the failure cause pronto. Pretty sure this pic is Moonlight Blue metallic...

You are correct, looks like it. Should be picking up tonight, but will shoot some live photos tomorrow when the sun is out.

This dealer (Jack Daniels in NJ) claims it is the first delivery of the A8, but I highly doubt it!
