It’s not even 2010 and already the Audi A8 for 2011 has premiered, with fans of German Engineering drooling. Complete with intricate interior “mood” lighting, satellite imaging NAV system and a powerful V8 (and future W12) this new Audi is loaded from fender to fender.

One of the key ingredients in the A8′s state of the art tech is the “pedestrian detection”
system, which can demonstrate dynamic range adjustment when a possible collision with person/animal/bicyclist/etc is imminent. An onboard computer also includes handwriting recognition for directions – sweet!

According to the official press release, “Set to arrive at U.S. dealerships in late 2010, the initial engine offering is the well known 4.2 FSI V8 with 273 kW (372 hp). The standard transmission is an all-new eight speed tiptronic coupled to the latest generation quattro all wheel drive as standard. 0-100km/h (62 mph) arrives in 5.7 seconds while Audi is claiming an estimated 15 percent improvement in fuel consumption versus the current A8 (EPA figures TBD).”

With that engine capability you shouldn’t expect a 45mpg ride, but the numbers for previous Audi models’ EPA rating have increased steadily over many years. So, fear not eco-commuter, you can have your green Earth and an A8 too!

With a sexy female copilot at his side, action star Jason Statham has an explosive device strapped to his wrist, if he walks 75 feet from the Audi A8 W12 (and the secret package contained within) his life will end in a glorious, and messy, detonation. Check out the 2 minute Audi commercial full length trailer below, and a few action packed photos. Transporter 3 drops in theaters November 26th – something to be thankful for this holiday!
