So my friend Anand and i have been on a week long road trip from MD to Vegas then Cali and now are headed back east the southern route.

ANDDDD........ we saw in Arizona 2 VW Touran's all wrapped up testing and a Routan behind it. They didnt appear too happy that we were snapping pics of them...

Then only a couple hour later while in New Mexico We came upon a black car which no emblems but recognizable tails.... and we instantly said NEW a6 OMG and it appears it is a european spec facelift A6. not sure what engine it was testing but it was obviously using radar based cruise control... our Valentine 1 was giving all kinds of weird very strong signals... which went away after we left the A6 alone.

Here are the pics... (it was evening time so it was tough to shoot perfect quality)

Hope you guys like the pics...

We also saw but couldnt picture cause it was going the other way.... a New Ford SVT Raptor (not german i know but whatever.)

and what we are guessing was an Audi A1 or weird new A3.

oh and another non german but still weird..... looked like a mazda 3 or mazda 6 front but had a picup truck back... kind of like the Holden "elcamino" as i call them. Not sure what exactly it was but it didnt look custoize... looked all OEM

yea and the A6 was obviously european spec cause they had the eurobracket covered up. and it had Orange LED Blinkers.

(and please excuse any misspelled words.... we are still driving and its tough a 90mph+ on I-20 to type perfectly.

That's not an A6, that's the new A8! At least I'm pretty sure. The lights are just like the ones from the teaser they showed us

I'm with you on that - it's not an A6 for sure, so A8 is the logical guess. Good job on getting the first shots of that thing in public!

 Re: FV-QR (MylesPH1) »« »

this was not the size of an A8 unless they shrunk i a decent amount. We believe it is the new A6 face lift that is out in europe already.... just testing it over here... and not sure what engine it had. couldnt hear it.

but yea these audi guys were giving us looks of death while taking the pics. and then got infront of us and everytime we went to switch lanes they switched infront of us blocking us. and then I floored it one time to pass them and they pulled a super last second brake check and swerved off an exit damn near mising it and going into the sign. lol

reading is sometimes useful. we have already deduced that it is the new A8, not the A6 facelift we already have in the US.

yea like i said it seemed a bit small for an A8 but maybe it was just a short wheel base A8 and not an A8L like im used to.

the tail lights where weird. They looked like neon tubes... couldnt really see any LED's other than the blinkers and the 3rd brake light.

It also seems like a piece of the lights leads into a chrome strip above the license plate surround, kind of like the older 7 series

they very well could have been neon tubes - they have been used in the past on taillights. not very often, though.

Thank you. it was like spur of the moment "**** its getting dark out hurry up and snap as many as possible" pictures.... and had to crank the ISO up cause those pics dont show how little light there was. not bad for on the spot shots.

they are good enough for showing the new A8 being tested.

you should change the title to A8 spotted so that other car sites like jaloplink and such will cite TCL again

yea but it was like 7:45 or 8pm something... in the middle of no where... hardly no cars on the road... so they probably thought we will go out for a cruise and hopefully not get spotted.

didnt expect us in our mobile command unit to come flying up on their tail lol..

pic for kicks of our "mobile command center" i am referring to...

and our mobile "office".....

tis the time of the year for hot weather testing for manufacturers in the southwest.

I believe Renault has a small office there somewhere in Arizona for such things, spy shots here and there over the years of their new kit.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was the new A8. It looks quite a bit like the A8 renderings, even in spite of the camo. Plus, the A6 was just refreshed last year.
