Default Audi A8 2016 rumors

http://www.automobile-magazine.fr/ac...i/audi_a8_2016

What I like is that they are slowly getting rid of idiotic 'single frame' design -- it is getting smaller and smaller with every new generation. Back to basics.

No more alu. Steel and carbon.

i like it too, looks good, however, how much smaller can they do these headlights? they've been shrinking and shrinking probably in 10 more years we won't have any more headlights...it will all be a front grill

Funny you should say that, because I thought the rear of the A8 looks a lot like the current 7 series rear end.

No mention of the S8 or what will power it...
