The W12 Quattro was the range-topping variant of the full-size luxury A8 saloon, with the second generation offering a W12 option (as the first had), which launched in 2005. The configuration allowed Audi to build a 12-cylinder saloon with all-wheel drive, with conventional V12 only able to facilitate rear-wheel drive configuration. Audi re-styled the A8 in 2005, giving all variants a taller, wider trapezoidal single-frame grille, with the W12 also being the first model was to be offered with LED running lights. The naturally aspirated 6.0-litre W12 delivers around 444bhp via a six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission with paddle shift, with the W12’s maximum 428 lb ft of torque and performance figures of 5.1-second 0-62mph time, and an electronically limited 155mph top speed.
Manufactured in 2005, ‘YF05 JHY’ was supplied new to its first owner on the 10th of June that year by Alexander Audi of Huddersfield. Finished in Brilliant Black paintwork, this is complemented by Cream leather interior upholstery, with a brushed aluminium dashboard and the optional Burr Walnut veneer trim. The factory specification includes Xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, switchable sports mode, electrically adjustable heated and cooled seats, and a Bose surround sound system. The W12 was further optioned new with electric, memory and auto-dimming mirrors, leather trimmed steering wheel, forged alloys, electric front memory comfort seats, laminated glass throughout, rear screen sun visor, and keyless entry. Offered now having covered a very modest 66,000 miles from new, the A8 has just four former keepers.
Benefitting from four new tyres in 2021, new front brake pads in 2022, and a new battery early last year, the Audi is entered from a significant private collection. Supplied new two sets of keys and a history file, the documentation includes the book pack in the wallet (including the owner’s manual, operation instructions, service book, and DVD road map), a collection of invoices, MOT records, twelve month MOT, and a current V5C document. Between the service book and invoices, the A8 has a very good service history with eight services completed and the most recent having been completed at 63,649 miles. Coming to market with the original tool kit and warning triangle and two sets of keys, ‘YF05 JHY’ is a rare example of the range-topping W12 engine A8 with very modest mileage!
