While Audi enthusiasts continue to wait for the new
S8 to arrive, the Ingolstadt-based car manufacturer has launched a new exterior
sport package for their flagship saloon. Priced at € 1,950 (US$ 2,294) on the A8 50
TDI and available across Europe from the end of January 2018, it adds an
aluminum clip to the grille, and clear contours around the air inlets, which
also get honeycomb grilles and vertical struts.
Slightly wider side sills and a tweaked rear bumper
with a rhombus-grille insert and contrasting diffuser are also available, as is
an aluminum strip on the body's lower edging.
The seats have been revised as well, with what the
automaker calls "optically integrated headrests" that feature
electric height adjustment, in addition to the pneumatic seat and backrest side
bolster adjustment. The latter are said to be approximately 15 mm more
deeply contoured than before.
Customers that just need to have these seats, which
are compatible with all engine versions and both wheelbase lengths, will have
to pay € 4,520 (US$ 5,318) for them, although before signing their name on the
dotted line, they will also have to choose from five basic colors for the
interior.
