Although it isn’t quite as good as the S8, it is getting there.
The all-new was launched in Germany at the end of November. It is now available with an optional sport exterior package to enhance your full-size luxury sedan. You won’t be able to tell the difference between the new and regular version unless you are a committed Audi fan. To make it easier for you, we’ll tell you that the singleframe grille now has an aluminum clip placed below it. This will create “an even stronger visual impact.”
The honeycomb pattern and vertical strut have been added to the air vents area, which makes it stand out from the A8. The side sills are slightly wider and the rear bumper has a modified bumper that includes a diffuser and insert for a rhombus. Unfortunately, there are no photos of the rear end of the Luxobarge at this time.
Audi will offer the Sport Exterior Package in Germany and the rest of Europe starting in January 2018. The 50 TDI version will cost EUR1,950, which is approximately $2,305 at current exchange rate. It will also include this Daytona Gray paint.
Ingolstadt’s elegant sedan features new sports seats that have “optically integrated” headrests with electric height adjustment. These seats come with a pneumatic seat and backrest side adjustment for maximum comfort. They also have square perforations and embossed S logos. You can choose from several leather options, all available in different shades and complemented with contrast stitching.
The fancy seats, which are similar to the Sport Exterior Package will be available on the old continent at the beginning of January. The seats can be purchased with any engine variant, regardless of whether you choose the long-wheelbase Audi A8 or the standard.
If you are willing to wait for the full-fat , the rumor mill suggests that Porsche’s biturbo-4.0-liter V8 will soon be installed in the engine bay. It will produce a little less than 550 horsepower. A Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid-powered S8 Plus will be available with slightly less power than Porsche’s hybrid rocket.
