The Audi R8 is the sexiest vehicle on earth.

That A8 comes pretty close.

One day I am going to own an R8. I think Audi has ****ty reliability but the sexiness of the R8 is worth it.

it's not an official audi rendering.

this is a private party photoshop based on the fastback concept revealed months ago

am i the only one who hates the shape of that grille?

making that grille HIGHER than the headlamps makes it look piggish...... like upturned nostrils.

The 7 series is the sow.
and this A8 rendering is the Boar.

It's a little extreme but I like the way it sets itself apart from the other Audi's. Thats why I like the S550, Your never going to mistake an S550 for a different model.

I like the current one better, its perfect. This redesign is very good looking indeed, but seems to have lost some of its elegance. I would have to see it on the road before passing my final judgement.

Gosh! That's a big asre grill. Gotta hand it to Audi's design team. Great body lines, (No big fender flares) headlights, they even make that big grill look good!

since they had NOTHING to do with the pictures, not sure the credit is deserved.

I dont love the rear, but it doesnt look bad to me. the current A8 has a bland rear end too. I think the best looking sedan they have made to date is the current A6

Then only a couple hour later while in New Mexico We came upon a black car which no emblems but recognizable tails.... and we instantly said NEW a6 OMG and it appears it is a european spec facelift A6. not sure what engine it was testing but it was obviously using radar based cruise control... our Valentine 1 was giving all kinds of weird very strong signals... which went away after we left the A6 alone.

Here are the pics... (it was evening time so it was tough to shoot perfect quality)
