Audi A8 teaser image discovered

SRT expert · Jul 21, 2009, 11:51 PM

Eh, whoever is tired of the current aged A8... Well, your prayers have been answered. This is ONLY a teaser pic. I see the new traditional LED lights under the headlamps... Well, let your imaginations run wild... From WCF.

The first teaser image promoting the A8 has recently been found. Standing with the cloth-covered A8 is Audi's Board Member for Technical Development, Michael Dick.
Few things are clearly visible in the picture other than Dick. We can see the now-signature Audi LED daytime lights through the sheet, but we also notice a car that could be a little shorther than the current generation. The rear windshield of the car also looks to have a bit of a sharp angle, something that contradicts the official sketch of the car released by Audi last October.

According to Autovisie, the photo was buried in a collection of promotional materials released by the automaker as part of a 100th anniversary celebration.

The Audi A8

is expected to hit the market in 2010 with four engine options, including petrol and diesel versions of a 3.0-liter and 4.2-liter V8. Should a S8 model be released, it could receive a 5.0-liter V10 FSI that unleashes 620 horsepower.
Built with a next generation Aluminum Space Frame, the 2010 Audi A8 was supposed to be shown off in Frankfurt this September but recent reports state this has been postponed despite the "surfacing" of this teaser image.

Then why does he seem to have what seems to be a start of a smile.......

As for the car, KICK EFFING ARSE!!! Those headlamps look absolutely menacing with the LED arrangement. I can't wait until its fully revealed!

Let's hope it doesn't have a fancier VW interior...

Audis typically look good...

Really good...

I just don't particularly like them. They're too sterile for my tastes.

I like something that when one thing goes wrong, another does. I'll have a BMW instead.

I like stiffer sprung cars with wide tires and "sporting" intentions no matter the size of the vehicle.

Dam that thing looks good.. from what i can see. Nice headlamps, and if the rendered image is anything to go buy, this is going to be one heck of a car.

He doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. Given the situation, would you?

Seems more like he's going to cry, but after examination, it looks like one side of his face is happy, the other is sad...

Hmm...

Anywho, hurrah for LEDs, we love them

I actually do like LED's... they make total sense for so many reasons.

From what I can see, the car doesn't look bad.

S-Tune_S1 · Jul 22, 2009, 7:46 AM

oooh looks good . cant wait

i've been wanting the new A8 to be revealed. the 7-series and S - Class all got there new looks . now its Audi's turn.

The drawing isn't accurate though. From what I can see the sape of te headlights is different.

I thought the next A8 generations was going to get small engines. I had read somewhere that the new A8 would have a 2.0L I4 optional engine while the V10 and maybe the V8 would be removed from the lineup. Hope it doesn't happen
