I always wanted one after seeing Jason Statham's antics in Transporter but somehow now seeing these images it's not looking appealing enough.

What a solid looking car man. Those interiors are gorgeous inside her (I am a sucker for light interiors on models).
Those exhausts are killer too.

Agree with bandhav, Transporter series has taken this car to another level, huge fan of Jason Statham. But yea I still want it unlike bandhav. Tongue

I've got an A8 in my collection but it totally sucks, one of Maisto's worst.
And I still don't get it why the wheels on this one has that weird yellow, is that a defect? Anyways, paint them silver. You keep the black one, right?

I love this generation of the A8.I'd take this over an S-Class or 7-Series everyday of the week.It looks just so solid and slick.What a no nonsense design!I actually like this more than the new A8 with all its LED frippery.I once almost bought that silver Kyosho rendition but returned it because the yellow wheels really put me off.It sucks that a premium model such as this should suffer from such an unseemly defect.Which is why I pounced on a black piece that didn't have this problem when Automania reiceved it last year as part of a sample consignment.Now that you have two,why don't you consider getting custom RS rims (Or just nick them off your Maisto 1:18 Audi RS4 Cabrio. Wink

) for one of them and probably paint the rims on the other one silver as Slix suggested.Great photos of my favourite German executive barge,by the way!
I wish Kyosho had made the Lamborghini engined S8.That would be my favourite variant of my favourite limo.

Ravi,

Great interiors, current generation cars rarely excite me no matter how great they are. But I must say the interiors on this one made me to post. Like Guggga, I too am loving the interiors.

As for the wheels I thought they were made this way only Smile

, to add realism.

Then you exchanged the Audi A8 and bought the Ferrari F40 Lightweight instead because some soul didn't want it. Why does it sound so familiar. Tongue

Bless that soul!! Big Grin

Oh that soul was really blessed that fine day with an M5.
Ravi, sorry for going offtopic. I got my silver A8 from KV and I love it. I was a big fan of black too but decided that silver was a nice one to have after watching it driven in anger in 2 movies, namely 'From Paris with Love' and 'Taken'.
