    The roof is A6 one, as the side. In the inside console, one picture it is oriented on the right, the second one on the left. Front light are the one of the R8, and the curv made of diods is distorded. On the rear view, the front wing is strange. There is a writing on the front wing "MONTAGE - Huckfelt (C)" on the side view.

    The wheels look strange because of a big angle photo lens.

    Interesting, I hope the exterior ends up a little different (and better)

    Have you guys seen the engine line-up ? Seems very accurate (considering the leaked excel document)

    3,0TFSI - 290hp / 420Nm
    3,0TDI - 250hp / 500Nm

    4,2FSI - 372hp / 445Nm
    4,0TFSI - 420hp / 550Nm
    4,0TDI - 340hp / 850Nm

    S8 5,0TFSI - 620hp / 750Nm

    I thought the new 760i with about 550hp would be the ultimate autobahn cruiser in that price range (S65 costs twice as much), but the new S8 will be the one.

    You sure you got this figure right?

    It is beyond the mighty RS6 territory, hence i will not believe this untill i see official spec. release.

    Can't say for sure but normally Audi use the same output for their normal A6 and A8 models, only providing different output for their S and RS models. If Audi do give the A8 different power output it will be a first as far as I know, though given that the next A6 will have a more extensive use of alloys in it's built there is a possibly that Audi feel they have to increase the output of the A8 to keep it ahead of it's little brother.

    P.S.
    This is the engine I believe will be used in the RS4 and possibly RS5.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    As to the S8 5,0TFSI, Georg Kacherīs line up above seems to be accurate. Two engines that appeared in the leaked audi schedule are in line with his lineup. And he mostly gets it right.

    I guess you mean 4,0TFSI. It is gonna have 394hp in A7/S7, but probably 420hp in A8.

    Just like the 3,0TFSI, which has 290hp and 333hp version.

    Very nice indeed, but not a big enough departure from the D3 in my opinion.
