However, we grabbed our picture of the heavily revised model as it was being put through its paces outside the Nürburgring race circuit in Germany. Although blankets hide the cosmetic changes, which include a new centre-mounted spare wheel on the back door, you can still see the deep-set front foglamps and more conventional rear wheelarches, which remain largely unconcealed.
Forget scrolling through...
Forget scrolling through your carò€™s sat-nav system to find the right town. Audi A8 owners will soon be able to jot down their destinations by hand!
Reports in Germany have revealed the Ingolstadt firmò€™s forthcoming limo replacement will feature handwriting recognition technology. This will do away with the need to use fiddly digital keyboards or laboriously select letters with a dial. Instead you ò€˜drawò€™ them and let the clever software work out your destination.
Itò€™s not the first time an A8 has had hands-on gadgetry. Buyers of current versions can select the option of fingerprint recognition, which adjusts the settings of the driverò€™s seat, mirrors and climate control to individual preferences.
The new is model expected to be offered in two sizes: regular and a long-wheelbase version. It will be revealed at the end of the year, with sales starting in 2010.
