I think the A8 is there mostly because of the aluminum
repair costs. It more than offsets the safety rating, which is just about the best you can get.
Notice that the Audi is the only one on the list with four doors.

This is another reason why we are able to buy a used A8 for 60 cents on the Dollar.
The cost of repairing the aluminum frame is for sure a big part of the reason for the high insurance cost. Just look at how little of a wreck it takes before the insurance company considers the A8 a total loss.

Re: Audi A8 4th most expensive car to insure....
I'm sure the stats are correct, but my experience was more encouraging. The insurance cost for the new A8L is scarcely higher than for the 2000 LS400 I traded in. I asked Allstate specifically about an "aluminum upcharge" and was told there is none and besides they feel they are mostly insuring the driver and to a lesser extent the car.
Of course YMMV
