First official teaser for next-gen Audi A8

The current Audi A8 has been on sale since 2003 and since that time has only received a minor facelift to keep it fresh alongside the updated Mercedes Benz S-Class, Lexus LS and new BMW 7-series. The minor styling changes implemented during the recent facelift will have to soldier on for at least another year as the next-generation ‘D4’ A8, according to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, won’t arrive until the second half of next year as a 2011 model. We should get our first look at the car, however, this November.

This official teaser, released as part of the automaker’s centenary celebrations this month, reveals a few more design details for the A8, including the now-signature Audi LED daytime running lights and what seems like a much shorter stance.
