Photos: Face lifted Audi A8 L

Dippy · 30th September 2005, 18:34

Here are pictures of the first face lifted Audi A8 L which is now on sale in India.This car is in Mumbai. It gets new front grille treatment like that on the A6 and it just adds a lot of character to the car. A great improvement over the previous plain jane looks. The interiors and the wood finish is just awesome.The more I see this car the more I love it. Enjoy the pictures

The pics below are taken at night. Check out the LEDs . Awesome!!

Stay tuned for more on this baby soon....

Dippy dude ,,, whats the on road cost of the car .. and how will u compare this and a S class.. or a 7 Series i mean its obviously in that same segment. i still feel that the 7 series has more presence among the three whats do u "RECKON"

The A8 costs 75 laks on road. About comparing the three, an S class Merc is too common, Yes the 7 series looks good I agree but you will only come to know the virtues and what the A8 really is after experiencing it. Wolf in sheeps clothing . Period

the latest movie transporter2 has audi featured and driven by the actor.

it looks cool and poses like a pucca european car.

watch the trailer at www.movies.yahoo.com (only for people with fast internet)

Interiors not that good....like the new neon lights on the door handles...and little upgrading has been done on the front grill.
Well even with these upgrades it still costs a fortune.....75 lakhs...not in my budget:(

It's simply awesome.Seen it in TRANSPORTER:2.

But wonder why it has a 6 speed automatic transmission and the smaller A6 has a 7 speed automatic transmission.
