Audi A8 Facelift 2014 Launch On August 21st - World Premiere Teaser Out

"It's time to reveal.. a new car." Indeed. If Audi's sole purpose with the latest Audi A8 teaser was to arrest our attention, it has achieved it. The new Audi A8 2014 shall debut on August 21, 2013 and not at the Frankfurt Motor Show as earlier reported. Apart from the A8, it is anticipated that Audi shall also pull the covers off its high-performance S8.

This is the tease-
Bright Lights! On August 21st we will present what is underneath this cover. Watch it live at 9 am CEST when two of our race drivers will go for a drive. Who do you want to see behind the wheel?

The new Audi A8 shall feature the automaker's latest "Matrix LED" headlamps- a unique technology that muscles in 25 high beam LEDs in every unit. As per the company statement, the headlamps work in tandem with a camera, blocking light off the high beam to avoid blinding the oncoming driver. Nevertheless, the remainder area shall be highly illuminated. With zero oncoming traffic, the high beam headlamps go full power, lighting even those areas which were earlier shut off. The same LEDs act as cornering light too, i.e., before you take a turn, these lights turn a wee bit by taking data from your vehicle's navigation system, thus illuminating the approaching corner.

All set to lock horns with the BMW 7-Series and the new Mercedes Benz S-Class, the 2014 Audi A8 shall hit showrooms by end-2013.

    The last time I checked the car was found testing in Pune and Mumbai. The 2014 Audi A8 facelift is also expected to sport revised taillights, new bumpers and a improved upholstery for the interiors. Unable to watch the teaser right now, but I am sure it must be pretty cool.

    The car was to be launched at the Frankfurt Auto Show earlier. But now the makers seem to have pre-poned A8's debut. Thank you for pointing it out #-Link-Snipped-#. Edited the same. 😀

    The new headlamps technology mentioned is great!It helps the oncoming driver and the lighting at the sides is also great!

    But, the problem i see is not always the oncoming driver drives a Audi A8, so the highbeam effect will be there for the driver in Audi 😀

    Guess what innovation should be made to overcome that? If its already there please enlighten me!

    I guess Audi is making a move towards smart driving. With a SMART Headlamp tech, Audi A8 is no more a simple car, Its a smart car. Expecting some more SMART features soon enough in other cars.

    They already have GPS nowadays. Voice security is implanted in more of high end cars. You can see it in Bentley, Aston Martin. That would be a cool addition to these cars too.
