A8/S8 [Spyshots] 2015 Audi A8 Facelift (Spy Pics & Info)

I 'm not sure that is what I meant.

You said "looks like the A8 facelift will bring everything to catch up on the new S-Class" in response to an article which only talked about new LED lights. Ergo, it's right to conclude that you think "changing the lights" is "bringing everything".

The facelifted 7 Series did not have any improvement other than full-LED headlights.

Wrong. 7 series LCI has new air suspension and it's more comfortable than non LCI.

A rough guide to the overall shape of the body. Note the large HUD unit.

So you think just because the A8 will have a fancy new lighting system, it will all of a sudden be a worthy rival to the S-Class? Are you serious?

And even the "new" lighting system is not all that revolutionary & new as portrayed.

MB have Intelligent Lighting System for ages, and lately even on LED headlights if I'm not mistaken. And BMW has it to ... premiere with 7er LCI LED headlights.

Yeah. I drove a 730d LCI in Feb with LED headlights and it definitely had the ability to illuminate the road "around" the cars ahead and not dazzle oncoming cars.

And you wonder why you have no credibility on this forum.

All Audi on the road were bought more because of their lights rather than Quattro.

Again, WTF?!!

I think Levi is clearly trolling now.

Just ignore him.

It's difficult to ignore someone who spams every thread. But we're trying.

No link?

Well, there is nothing new to read, but this is what it says:

- A8 facelift will debut at IAA Frankfurt in September

- new front LED Matrix headlights

- little changes at the back of the car

- touched up interior with new Infotainment system and redesigned instrument cluster

- there is no info about engine changes

Probably one of the best facelifts Audi has done. The overall product still looks terrible, but much less than before. The front end looks particularly nice, much better than the stupid looking current one.

Yeah I was wondering why things looked so normal again...

@SKY you're right, very solid facelift. Lets hope BMW can turn an ugly car into something a whole lot better too. I was thinking about the 1er hatchback of course...
