Here’s the official video of the new Audi A8 sedan, including some road footage and beauty shots to get a closer look.

The new design language will subsequently appear on the Audi S1, S6 and S7.

These Audi S8 spy shots are from Autogespot reader, Michael Biro, and show the new sporty S8 testing in the Austrian mountains. The Audi A8 will be replaced by a new model, substituting the V10 engine for possibly an aspirated V8 with about 450 hp. Audi should also produce a lighter and more economical version for the future.

The S8 shown here has classic Audi design, with a few changes to the grill, sportier bumpers, a new set of alloys and a redesigned exhaust. The new Audi A8 could be revealed by the end of this month, while details on the release of the S8 are unknown.
