It looks quite OK on this picture. Much better than the ones seen before (with similar shape).
Headlights could be shaped a bit more aggressive though. The stance looks very sporty, the shoulder line is high which adds to aggressiveness of the whole car.

Looks much more elgant then some of the other photos. The current A8 is a beautiful car and I really hope they keep it that way. Keep the design simple.

Judging by that latest picture it looks as though xenons are on the way out and will be replaced by LED's like on the V10 R8. Shame, because I really liked the projector lenses as it made it look like the car had eyes, and the colour flicker looked quite cool.

^ Could very well be the case. The 7er was shown with full LED headlights already, but it clearly isn't production ready @ BMW. Audi could have the premiere here!

Full LED:



And, I have to say, I too will miss Xenon if it's going to be completely replaced by LED lights. I will miss the big blue-ish light bulps when the Xenons are off....LEDs look weird when off.

I am not sure Klier, but to my knowledge the lights (Angel eyes) on the 5er GT is full LED and the headlights (centre part) would stay Dynamic Xenon in future ????

This one could be better answered by......?

It's only the angle eyes that are made of LEDs on the 5GT, not the whole unit, AFAIK.

The AMS picture looks good, way better tha the one Autobild released, I hope it will look like the AMS one.

Both right. But I do think BMW (and Audi, and Merc) is moving towards full LED headlights, without any Xenon whatsoever. OLED back- and headlights.

Audi A1 and A8 will miss September’s Frankfurt Motor Show

Audi is working on a handful of new models set for launch over the next 12 months but despite the prominence of the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show two of the key models won’t be appearing. The cars are the all-new A1 minicar and next-generation A8 flagship.

Both cars are expected to be revealed in production form before the end of the year but this September’s Frankfurt event won’t be used, reports Automobilwoche. Instead, the event will likely be used for the world debut of new A5 Sportback.

We won’t have to wait until September to see the A5 Sportback however, as the car is expected to be revealed for the first time on the 16th of this month at the company’s centenary celebration taking place in Germany.

While the launch dates of the A1 are still up in the air, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler has previously stated that the A8 will actually be unveiled in November and available in showrooms only in the second half of next year.

The Audi R8 Spyder will also debut at Frankfurt. I seen them photographing and filming it underneath the Photovoltaic Pergola, in Barcelona ...

It was White and looked exactly as the Autobild Scoop! from a year ago.
