Audi unleashes revised A8 lineup

After several teasers to build up the anticipation, Audi has fully revealed the 2014 A8 lineup which has received minor exterior tweaks to keep the model fresh and competitive in a segment where the new S-Class is considered the king. New for the mid-cycle refresh are LED matrix headlights that encompass 25 light-emitting diodes, along with sequentially-illuminated LED turn signals which pack no less than 18 LEDs in the headlights and an additional 24 LEDs at the back in the taillights. Other changes include a more sculpted bonnet, new front grille and reworked front & rear bumpers.
