Karan Johar spotted in Audi A8L
For years, the association of Bollywood celebrities with luxury cars has thrived, with them opting for the latest cars and SUVs in their collection. While some celebrities usually purchase these luxury cars with their own money, many celebrities are rewarded with luxury cars by carmakers or people for their contribution to society or stardom. Bollywood’s ace director and producer Karan Johar is one such celebrity, who was rewarded with an Audi A8L in 2021 by Audi India as a gift. Since then, Johar has been using the A8L as his daily driver.
A recent YouTube video from Cars For You shows Karan Johar arriving at the home of Bollywood couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in his silver-coloured Audi A8L. Johar is seen being chauffeured in his A8L while being swarmed by paparazzi who were waiting outside the gates of Ranbir and Alia’s home. While the paparazzi were busy clicking the pictures, Karan Johar was seated inside the car, while keeping the windows of the car closed.

The Audi A8L presented to Karan Johar by Audi India is the pre-facelifted version of the fourth-generation Audi A8. This luxury saloon was launched in 2020 and was positioned as a range-topping luxury saloon as a direct rival to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series. This version of the Audi A8L is the long-wheelbase version, which came to India as a petrol-only car.
The fourth-generation Audi A8L which came to India is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine, which produces a maximum power output of 335 bhp and a peak torque output of 500 Nm. This engine is available with an 8-speed automatic gearbox as the standard transmission.
