## Yet as the Audi Drivers Club Reports:

It’s no secret that Death Valley, California is a popular place for car manufacturers.
Car manufacturers to test in extreme temperatures. In as much, keeping an eagle 
eye when in the area is well worth. So it as you may spy something that hasn’t been
seen before. Case in point is Audi Club member Troy Sicotte who was cruising through
the area.  Then he noticed an as-of-yet-unseen Audi A8L e-tron. Thereby hiding in
plain sight.

#### A8

Given the A8 has already been revealed on a show stand and is even on the market
in Europe, it’s doubtful Audi felt any need to disguise its long-wheelbase sedan.
The brand even revealed some information on its upcoming e-tron quattro version 
when the car was first shared with press last summer. Even still, images of the 
A8L e-tron with its unique bumper and grille treatments hasn’t been [revealed yet and so it’s news](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/11/polysorbate-80-in-your-food-the-truth-revealed/)
to viewers.

### Conclusion

In conclusion and as they ask, what do we know about the A8L e-tron? So Press on
the location at the Audi Summit in Barcelona last summer.

It’s because publications such as** [electriccarsreport.com](https://electriccarsreport.com/2017/07/new-audi-a8-unveiled-e-tron-quattro-phev-comes-wireless-charging/)**,
reveal the A8L e-tron. Therefore it will feature a plug-in hybrid style drivetrain.
Thereby pairing a 340-hp 3.0-liter TFSI engine with electric motor assist. Finally
and all in order to boast 449 hp and 516 lb-ft combined power.
