concept?


oh, may I add something......an ultra luxury a8 combined with its ultra high/luxurious price

It looks nice but nothing new. Looks just like a stretch A4.

Yeah but looks way better than MB S-Class or BMW 7-series. hehe

Maybe the interior's nothing new I guess... But the look is quite evolving...

Is this it? The new A8? It still looks too much like a stretch A4 to me. I don't know, maybe its just me but it looks a bit 'ordinary'. I can't help but imagine it being used as a taxi somewhere in Germany or something. It just doesn't appeal to me. If I was spending Audi A8 money for a big luxury saloon, I'd want it to look like it cost a lot. And those headlights. They annoy me a lot. Because the LEDs look cool but the overall headlight design looks hideous. I don't know what it's more of: dreary and unimaginative or ugly and alien like. Headlights aside, the A8 is too discreet for my liking. The S-Class however...

Uh-huh, this is really the new A8. New look, same feeling for us.

That's a shame. I really am disappointed with Audi on this one. What happened to their elegant, sleek and stylish cars like the A5 Coupe and Cabriolet (Sportback just ruins it) and cool, trend setters like the TT and R8? I hope this A8's design isn't a template for future Audis to come. I'm really hoping that they'll launch a production version of the exquisite Sportback Concept and the new A6 will be a looker. The gen we have now is starting to show it's age against the new E-Class and 5-Series.

Come on Audi! Get yourself together!

I agree... but still, it looks nicer to me.

The A8 has never been a great seller compared with the S-Class and the 7 series.

But I like the Google Earth app on the new A8.



You won't believe despite the same exterior comes with the next-gen gadgets in store.



Don't forget, it has handwriting recognition!
