This is the Audi A8 Long...
... with the new digital matrix LED lights...
... the most advanced car lighting system of the moment
each headlamp contains 1.3 million moving micro-mirrors, dispersing the light into tiny pixels
a technology so advanced, the lights can actually project animated graphics
let's get this luxury ship on the road for a night drive
the L in the name stands for 'Long'...
... this Audi is 5,32 meters long
but thanks to these parking assistants...
... and the rear wheel steering...
... it's surprisingly easy to maneuver
you can select your favourite entry & exit light animations
the interior is full of RGB LED strips that can be customised
they also give you visual feedback when changing the temperature...
... colder is blue light, warmer is red light
let's try another light animation
it's a bit harder to see in this grass
turned the car around to try again
yep, it's a nice gimmick
see how the left corner lights up when you steer in
it's still a bit too bright outside to show the full highway light mode...
... so let's do some smaller roads first & return here a bit later
what a spaceship, yet so subtle & stylish
auto high beam assists when there's no other traffic or street lights
let's check them projections in total darkness
the exit light animation projected on the road...
... beautiful
after the animation, only the corner lights stay on
rear OLED signature is as impressive as the front
when you unlock the vehicle...
... the animation only starts when you open the door
this one is called 'barcode'
full beam is activated once you start the car
let's do a quick launch to 100
drive mode Dynamic + shifter in S mode
under the hood is a mild hybrid 3 liter V6 diesel...
... that makes 286 hp, but also 600 Nm for the 4 wheels...
... that's how this boat can do the 0 to 100 km/h in less than 6 seconds
auto high beam switching off
high beam cutting out the car in front so the driver doesn't get blinded
let's get back on the highway for something special
in highway mode the car projects a light curtain...
... that illuminates your lane and the lane you go to
my camera sucks in low light, but in the beam itself are little arrows showing the way
... and when someone overtakes you,...
... the beam automatically adjusts
