Audi A8 Launch Coming on November 30th

We've been hearing about the introduction of a new Audi A8 for a while. The last time anything official came from the automaker, it was in the form of a teaser for the A8 in July, around Audi's centenary celebrations.

Originally, the A8 was planned for a launch at this past Frankfurt Auto Show. Continued good sales of the current model helped pushed the car's launch back a bit.

As expected, the new A8 will be launched at its own event, much like Jaguar did with the XJ in London earlier this year. Audi is coinciding the reveal as part of "The Art of Progress" event taking place in Miami Beach, Florida.

The actual introduction will be taking place inside of the Audi Pavilion, a temporary structure for the event built by Audi. Audi says the car will herald a new turn in its design language, so the setting seems like a good place to debut the flagship model.

Interesting that they decided to launch it on November 30th, bypassing an introduction at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. Audi has been on a roll lately with impressive new products and updates to existing models and the new A8 should continue that. Expect the A8 to go on sale late next year as a 2011 model.
