Audi has released the first teaser shot of the 2010 A8 and it looks good
The teaser image shows that Audi’s 2010 A8 will sport LED headlights. The new Audi will feature more exotic materials such as aluminum and magnesium employed to help save weight and improve dynamics.
The A8’s engine wil be powered by a 2.8-liter V6, and topping out 4.2-liter V8 FSI. Audi’s new 6.0L V12 TDI, the V8 from the Audi R8 and the 3.0-litre V6 from the S4 is also expected.The base model will be a front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive variants will sport Audi’s Quattro torque vectoring systems. This system distributes drive individually between each axle and between the rear wheels for improved traction and stability.
The first generation [of the A8] was very dogmatic and product-design-like, with the second generation, the theme was ‘elegance’: softer, flowing lines. The upcoming third generation will be stronger, sharper, and more precise.
That’s not even close to what it will look like. Audi didn’t release that photo, only a headlight teaser and a photo of one under a cover. Must be a mock up.
