    Interestingly, but no one's talking about Bentleys W12 bi-turbo..., maybe that engine find its way into next A8, alltough, I doubt that.

    The next Bentley's will most likely get the Bi-Turbo V10 FSI.

    The next Bentley will probably gain a diesel into the line-up, no matter how much Bentley officials deny it.

    I'm expecting a Bi-turbo V10 and the v12TDi to both take up service under than mightly bonnet, and I know which one I would prefer.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    Bentley engine could have appeared in recent A8 as an answer to much more powerful Merc's. But for next gen - doubtfully, I agree.

    Some how, I imagine it little bit different.
    This lack of spy shots and everything else about next A8 really confuses me... It is only six months away.

    I do not buy that this illustration is remotely close to what the actual next generation A8 will look like. Although, I do not know what the design will be, I have heard to expect the next A8 to move upwards in terms of styling and luxury. The current A8 is a perfect execution of the Audi bauhaus design and is aging beautifully unlike the 7-Series and the new S-Class which is looking dated already. Expect a new level of interior design taking the A8 to another level, not to mention the new technologic features. Remember that Audi has been made responsible for the development of not only its flagship the A8, but the next Bentley Flying Spur as well. Expect the A8 to pass the S-Class. Inglostadt wants the premium luxury crown at all costs and they are spending big on the next generation A8 to be king.

    I'm hoping and expecting you to be right!

    I hope its based on that photoshop because the other red one is ugly as hell!!!!

    The A8 has always been a very classy and sporty car in its class. If Audi will be "THE" premium carbrand, then the new A8 has to be very stylish and sporty. I think the new 7 is a great car, far better than the old one. S classe of Mercedes is overloaded with new technologic stuff but the exterior of the car isn't very nice...

    I expect a lot of the new A8. I hope they won't change the car dramatically in design, as BMW did with the previous 7 (that was one ugly car)

    Looks like the pshops in this post http://www.rs6.com/forum/showpost.ph...0&postcount=29 are pretty accurate. You can see the trunk on the test car being like the one in the pshop.

    the A7 concept also had pretty much the same size/location of the navigation screen which supports that the interior photo is authentic.
