Default Right-hand drive German Audis

Hi I want to buy an A8 or S8 in Germany, but I want to import it to my country, which is South Africa, and here we are right-hand drive. Did Germany built right hand drive Audis for Germany? They are too expensie here,even if it is D2's, and D2 S8's weren't imported or even built here, so for me to have an S8 would be one of a sort (Nice thought for me)!

All countries in Europe are left-hand drive, except the UK and Malta (though I'm not sure about that).

You'll only find a right hand drive configuration outside the UK if someone from the UK (or Japan, SA and some other countries) would have imported his UK-car into Germany and try to sell it locally. Very rare chance.

But give it a try at http://www.automobile.de/
On this website you'll find an enourmous amount of available Audi A8/S8 vehicles.
