For 2003, Audi will continue with that line of thought, although in the case of the new A8, its focus will include the phrase "lead, never follow." One look at its new flagship and it becomes apparent Audi is hell-bent on pushing BMW and Mercedes aside and leading the pack in the luxury sedan market.

As before, the new A8 relies on a four-link front suspension and trapezoidal-link rear geometry; however, the front axle has been pushed forward by 2.5 in., which improves load distribution and handling.

The new A8 L will be the first Audi in production to speak the company's new design language--a language that bridges recent prototypical concept vehicles like the Pikes Peak quattro sport utility, Nuvolari quattro GT (which will turn into a coupe derivative of the next-generation A6), and Le Mans quattro supercar.
While the new engine may be a welcome addition for A8 fans, the characteristics that make the A8 L excellent are already in place: a class-leading interior, a six-speed automatic transmission, a lightweight aluminum body, permanent four-wheel drive and an adjustable air suspension.
