With a world reveal set for sometime later this year, the 2010 Audi A8 is already peeking out from behind its corporate covers, thanks to a news item on Inside Line.

These photos are said to be of the final version of the new A8, due to enter production next year. While it will be shown in some form later this year, Inside Line reports the A8’s first public showing will be early next year, at the 2010 Detroit auto show in January.

Details are few, but with the more radical-looking Audi A7 emerging this year to challenge the Mercedes-Benz CLS, the new 2010 A8 will remain more traditional in appearance. The aluminum space frame design will also bring back its hallmark quattro all-wheel drive, but new V-6 and V-8 engines and an eight-speed automatic transmission will be new additions. LED headlamps will be drawn from other Audi designs, like that of the R8 sportscar.

Audi CEO Rupert Stadler has said the new car will be “the sportiest luxury sedan in its class” and expects it will be shown for the first time in November.

  5. One important thing I really like about blogs is the fact that they spark an idea in my head. When that happens, I feel like I need to write a comment expecting it’s pleasant to other people. Since there are many blogs and forums with totally different points of view, they question your perception. It is at these moments when you have crucial insignt others might not have had, and this includes the blogger her/himself. I find myself returning to your website because you have lots of impressive insights and also you happen to be at this a very long time, that’s very exciting and tells me you know your stuff.
