Audi A8 5.5 With Rice Cooker Launched In Japan VO br Audi A8 5.5 With Rice Cooker Limited Edition Launched In Japan VO br br Seriously insane, Audi Japan has rolled out the flagship A8 in that country with a rice-cooker inside the cabin! Couldn’t figure out the reason why this cooking equipment in the central console of rear seat is planted; but going by the words of company it can cook perfect rice due to the heat convection fitted inside the Japanese pot called Hagama. br Audi had termed it as A8 5.5. Technically speaking, there isn’t a 5.5-litre V8 or something like that in the bay. Instead, the 5 is referred as ‘Go’ in Japanese and 0.5 as Han, which together pronounce ‘gohan’ – means ‘Rice’. br However, the prices of the rice-cooking A8 aren’t announced officially, but this flagship is restricted only to Japan for a limited period. Taking the advantage of a luxurious carmaker, engineers too have offered options on the menu-panel of touchscreen for a variety of rice cooking option. br Hence, almost confused what to call this A8 and how to segment such a car; in fact, no suitable thought justifies it.
