It does look nice but the body style looks pretty dated. Is this a newer model or a 1992 era car?

Agreed. The wheels are very nice though.

Okay that one looks legit.

I dont know about this car, it just doesnt do it for me. Looks way too plain, like its a 91 or something.

The only difference is the colour and wheels.

I love the nose down arse up stance and the wheels!! The only time I ever really liked the A8 was in Ronin!! But I would have LOVED to see this baby rolling on those 'choice' BBS's!!

Yeah.... im just saying, it would be pimp to see deniro cruising around in a lowered A8 sitting on some fat rims.

The car looks too much executive like.

well.......that pretty much is the target market for this vehicle if you think about it.:)

Personally I drool when I see these on the highway. BIG,classy, and understated. I love the big cars from the 70's when I was a kid, so I guess it just stuck with me.:thumbup:

Off topic, I love the looks of the new A8, but i cant wait for the short wheelbase version to debut. The tidier dimensions will really make that car look nice. i love the broad stance it has and strong shoulder line!

I saw a AUDI the other day....very new car....there was an 8 in the car's model..i just dont recall it!

What surprised the hell out of me is that the side profile of the car looks very much like the new style of the BMW 7 series!!!! :eek2:

I think you are referencing the tall sides, short greenhouse right! IMO the Audi uses that design element MUCH better than BMW, the Audi looks very wide and aggressive, and it looks nice with the factory 19" option. The only time ANYONE likes a 745 is when a set of 22" wheels are bolted up to it!! LOL

Audi is presenting a new braking technology destined for its series production debut. The brand's flagship model, the 12-cylinder A8, will in future be available with ceramic brakes as an option. As well as quadrupling brake service life compared to conventional steel discs, the new brakes also offer outstanding braking power, even when the car is being driven to its limit, as well as supreme resistance to fading. The far lower weight also heralds benefits in terms of ride comfort and handling characteristics by reducing the unsprung masses.

Chrome mirrors are all that seperates the A8 from the S8... well, that and the engine. :D

I know, but it just doesn't look right IMO.
And I like the sleeper look.

Audi also just announced they are going to produce a S8 for the new design.
