Audi has unveiled the 2014 A8 and S8 facelifts in Frankfurt Motor Show.
The facelifted model comes with limited updates that include a new front bumper, a revised hood, a modified single-frame grille, additional chrome trim, five new exterior colors and optional Matrix LED headlights which use 25 individual diodes to give out the optimal light in any situation. The standard model retains its familiar dimensions whereas the long-wheelbase variant gains an additional 5.12 inches in both length and wheelbase.
The changes to the interiors are also limited and include revised trim and new Unicum leather upholstery which is described as “particularly natural-looking, soft and breathable.” The model now has a more accommodating trunk that can manage to hold 520 liters (18.36 cubic feet) of luggage.
