2nd pic is better, maybe ditch the hood vents, and even out the fenders..the rears look taller than the front fenders?

[jstrat85]

any body else? what do you guys think???

[WetDreams Auto]

Second rendering looks better but id make the rear flare uniform with the front. looks great otherwise

[rambo64]

Looks more like and R8, has too much sports car look. S8 is a luxury car with Muscle too boot. I 2nd, ditch the hood vents and tone down the flare, even lines would be better.

[JLM04A8L]

I agree with all the others...vents and flairs are a bit much...try to keep this an audi and not make it an S-Class...

[jstrat85]

i see. thanks for the heads up. i will fix those problems.

[yung turbo]

looks like an Audi front and S-class rear.

I want to kill this guy. OVERKILL OVERKILL OVERKILL

2nd pic, rear wheels are way too big. looks good though.

I think it looks great! It's about time someone creative came up with a "super lux" concept for our 8's, that's exactly what our series needed! I really like the concept lights on #1. The flares look great and I'd keep the hood scopes - who knows maybe there's a ram air type system feeding the V10!!!

That works!
I could defiantly see myself in car #1 with the HRE's from #2

when you building this car? or are you just making parts for it?

[jstrat85]

im trying to find a company who can make these parts for me, or even willing to sell the design to another company.

[DirtyJerzey]

interesting, how the search coming along?

[jstrat85]

interesting, how the search coming along?

its a lot of hard work! most of the people you talk too are full of shit. the first product that might go into production first is going to be a part for the lambos, and then lilltle by little this will start to happen. i had a guy trying to buy out the mercedes e63 amg design but he was trying to low blow me!

[HIstateS8]

You should try find some contacts in China, especially now that their economy is booming.

[onewicked]

[DirtyJerzey]

Good luck with the search, keep us informed on whats going on, thats say if a build is in the making

[Kievskiy]

looks like 4 door TT....no flares and no hood vents.... work on 2nd pic ;)

[Error]

needs to be toned down A LOT... major overkill... to the point where it seems very Ricey.

[maldotcom]

[jstrat85]

car #1 looks real good.and your work looks good, good luck.

thanks so much!! [:)]

[awhk82]

Don't see anything relevant to an A8. Looks like a B8 A4 with different headlights, bumpers, and grill... Needs some work to the left side fog lights too.

[pja0750]

2nd pic for sure!

[Old Baldy]

Top pic wins.

Remove the hood scoops.
Tone down the wheels and arches (wheels too big, not enough clearance for a luxury sporty sedan. This is not a race car)
Change the wheel color to gunmetal.

Wish I had your skills....

cant see it? what was it?

[A4A4A4]

I'm with the others, tone it down a bit. The first one would look really good if you were to get rid of the hood scoops and make the wheels/suspension a little more practical.

Also, is it just me or does that way it stands in those pics right now make it look a little like the Pontiac G8?
