(http://media.il.edmunds-media.com/audi/a8/ns/audi_a8_f34_ns_21811_196.jpg) Audi launches a new armored flagship sedan, the A8L Security, with a W12 engine, all-wheel drive, outstanding protection and a surprisingly long list of amenities.

udi said the A8L Security meets the German government ballistics protection standards, with the sheet metal and glazing in the passenger cell able to "withstand firing from NATO hard-core ammunition" and the armored floor "capable of withstanding an attack with a military hand grenade."
