While Audi is doing a pretty good job at letting us know what to expect from their new A8 flagship, there are still plenty of things that have yet to be revealed.

The German automaker has yet to discuss cabin quality and how the A8 would set itself apart from its S-Class and 7-Series rivals when it comes to materials. With that in mind, inviting journalists to a special viewing and blindfolding them, is what you might call an interesting start.

These images come courtesy of Der-Autotester, who sent someone to Ingolstadt to feel around what’s bound to be one of the most luxurious and technologically-advanced saloons ever made.

You can see a little bit of the dashboard, featuring two very large displays, one underneath the other, just like on the Q8 Sport Concept. The car is of course surrounded by light, be it LED light on the outside, or ambient lighting inside the cabin, even on the rear seat armrest. Also, this particular A8L is probably dripping with optional extras, so it’s probably fair not to expect every single A8 model to look this luxurious – or to massage your feet for that matter.

All that remains now is for Audi to blow us away with everything the all-new A8 can do on the move, because in terms of aesthetics, our reader feedback wasn’t all too positive regarding that teaser image that came out yesterday.

The countdown continues until the car is revealed next Tuesday, July 11th, in Barcelona at the Audi Summit.
