I dunno if anybody's seen this before, my mom actually just showed it to me today...



silver ain't a light material now is it? but i dunno, it could very well be BS, could just be chrome is spose, though its a pretty funny idea.

As that looks like the pic was taken in the Middle east, it could well be silver!

The body of the A8, is all-aluminum, correct? That looks like it could simply be unpainted & polished.

Agreed, Audi has done concepts with polished aluminum bodies before, and the look was basically identical (allowing for lighting, etc...) to that A8. So without any hard evidence otherwise I'd have to say this is:

1) Real
2) Polished Aluminum, not Silver.

Airplanes look good when they're polished like that. Cars do not. But it's interesting to see by the image in the reflection how well the car is assembled. Beautiful execution of a very questionable idea.

I love the interior, and those dude can afford it ! I'd give it citations on the flash & glare if it were in our busy streets. can you see that instead of the black one in "Transporter 2"
