The exterior draws inspiration from the Prologue Concept which debuted back in 2014. By incorporating an enlarged chrome grille, thin set of horizontal headlamps with LED daytime running lights, flowing roof line and rear light bar, all of this give the new Audi A8 a sleek exterior similar to that of a coupe.
