Autocar - First for car news and reviews

These are the first teaser pictures of the Audi A8, which is set to be unveiled later this year.

The pictures were released during Audi's centenary celebrations, and the clearest image, a sketch, shows the front headlamp styling and LED daytime running lights, as well as giving clues as to how the bonnet and grille will look.

The review will continue... "The steering is lifeless and the ride is a bit harsh".

"Its not as sporty as the 7-Series, nor as comfortable as the Mercedes S-Class".
