OK, here's mine
 

In the spirit of my understanding of this competition, I will list only those items which are factory options (and not all the standard features).

For those of you who don't know the car, it is a 2002 FL in Dolphin Grey with leather/alcantara combination interior.

The factory/dealer options are :-

* Bose sound system
* TV tuner with teletext for Sat Nav Plus
* Electric rear blind and manual side blinds
* Heated rear seats
* Solar panel tilt/slide sunroof
* Autodipping interior and exterior mirrors
* Multifunction tiptronic steering wheel
* GSM Phone preparation in passenger arm rest
* Xenon plus headlights
* Servotronic speed sensitive power steering
* Enhanced Leather pack III including leather to lower half of dashboard, sides of transmission tunnel and alcantara covering to roof, parcelshelf and upper A/B/C pillars
* Rear seat entertainment including drop down Sony 7" screen, 10 disc Sony DVD changer and Sony playstation with 2 infra red headphones all colour co-ordinated and integrated seamlessly into the rear. Supplied with all instructions.
* 5 x 20" 9 spoke 'RS4 style' Final Edition wheels.

The only modifications which have been made to the car are an R8 oil filler cap and 'S' style valve caps ;)

Eh? I thought the 4.2 quattra didn't come with ESP or any form of stability/traction control?

Early facelift ones didnt.... It became an option on the A8 4.2 around the time the S8 was launched in 1997. By Facelift, it became standard kit... +++

Ok, so a lovely lovely car, but fundamentally no additional factory options over basic 'S8 final edition spec'... Shame, but score of 0.... +++
