The facelifted Audi A8 has been revealed, with more powerful engines and new LED headlight technology among the changes. The updated Audi A8 was seen testing in India earlier.

The revised A8, offered internationally in two wheelbase lengths and with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, will make its debut at the Frankfurt motor show next month.

The optional new LED technology is called MatrixBeam. It features 25 individual LEDs that can be switched on or off or dimmed individually, depending on the road conditions. The lights also adapt around corners, feature indicators with sequential lighting and, when linked with an optional navigation and MMI infotainment system, use the sat-nav to adapt to corners, hills and road classifications.
