Spec List for the new A8

[Trooper]

I'd hardly know where to start with the options from this brochure - overwhelming choice:

http://www.audi.co.uk/content/dam/audi/ ... des/a8.pdf


But, loving the night vision assistant with pedestrian detection:

"A thermal imaging camera registers heat dissipation in front of the vehicle and represents this image in the 7” Driver’s Information System. Image recognition software highlights people detected in the darkness and a warning bell sounded if the system classifies them as being at risk."

the adaptive light and high-beam assist:

"Automatically adjusts headlights from high-beam to dipped-beam when another vehicle is approaching or when other ambient lighting is detected (i.e street lights). Also includes swivelling headlights for improved illumination of a winding road, and dynamic cornering light-function. Kerb-light function is activated when indicator is switched on, steering wheel is turned considerably or ‘reverse’ is selected. Only works with low-beam headlights and at speeds up to 45mph."

and the "Audi design selection Balao brown" option (page 40) is seriously cool but, at a whopping £12,500, is just a wee bit pricey


But, how to chose between the following exterior colours
- Brilliant Black
- Havanna Black
- Emerald Black
- Phantom Black

does it come with rocket launchers to remove said pedestrians from the vehicles path...?

Now that I would pay extra for!

no matter how many gismos this car is just plain boring compared the last two A8 models, it just looks like A4 which isn't a patch visually comapred to the last one

i'm not a fan of the latest A4 or A8 as the swage line tapers downwards towards rear which makes car look less agressive and slightly odd

do hope they return to form on next A3/S3

It's a bland boring rep-mobile IMO. There are much more exciting cars you could buy for £65k+ even if you needed a 5-door saloon (RS4/M3/etc) !

Does nothing for me
