This Is The NEW Audi S8? 

They need to make this car - so impressive but I’m tired of seeing amazing concepts never be manufactured.

I have never seen a concept review as detailed as this one. Very Good job. For the first time I could "feel" how owning one would feel.

Really like this dude! Hope they keep him around. He gives good detail about the cars he's reviewing.

One of the best auto channels on the internet. Thanks for always bringing us top quality, mate! 👊🏾🙂

Audi's concept designers are absolutely amazing. To me Audi has for the last years been my absolute favorite when it comes to new ideas and design.

Even those birds in the beginning were like “wow, Jim, you seeing this new concept? Good stuff aye?” But seriously Audi makes such sleek and beautiful vehicles! The V8 powered RS5 is still one of my favorites for sure!

Wow, a very good job and entertaining show, Rory! Thanks Audi! I already drive an eTron Sportback and it feels more like a spaceship than a car when I drive it. I would really like to see these concepts as an everyday car!

Rory, You do know that you are if not the best, if not the best car reviewer on RU-vid, day I say in the country and soon to conker the world...Lol. I mean how do you make a still car seem more interesting than it is, don't get me wrong there lovely. But normally we look at static cars and move on, but to have a reviewer as good as yourself explain to us the details of it, we learn so much more. I personally was never ever interested in a car review where the car was not being driven, until I watched your reviews, so thank you sir..🙂

Production was great on this vid - Audi pls release these and w/o changing their visual design from concept to production. So many manufactures lose us when they do that.

I must have said "Never gonna happen" about 20 times in this video. Beautifully shot and lovely location. Rory is excellent.

Is it just me or does it look so unreal, that it seems to be computer generated😶

So glad I found your channel, absolutely love everything about this video, great work👍

Well done Rory, what a great insight into future personal transport. Unfortunately this is at least another 20 years from now when the combustion engine is completely dead in my humble opinion.

the Skysphere is mind blowing. Never seen such design, it looks like a Cyberpunk interpretation of the batmobile. I really do hope it will eventually reach production (with or without the moving chassis) just to see these space ships in real life

I feel like the components that current/older cars had like the grill/wheel spokes that are starting to be reimagined may soon be completely redesigned. They're making small adjustments now but since the car is electric there can really be anything on the front in any design. I bet they'll start doing some crazy things with that or just make it plain like tesla

I really like the interior design of the skysphere interior (except for the analog clock). It is so clean and scifi spaceship looking. Not a fan of the gesture controlls though because they would probably be pretty hit and miss or trigger when you did not intend to and even in full autonomy mode I would still like to be able to take over seemlessly rather than having to wait for the steering wheel and pedals to emerge.

Absolutely stunning. Like something from Minority Report. Complete automation and optimum traffic management doesn’t require a seat belt.

Whilst its always good to see manufacturers stretch there minds and designs, there's a lot of impractical equipment and a lot of frustrating functions, And ones that will take more time to operate than to do things manually, but they are concepts and I presume only a few of the tech bits will actually reach the every day car. So well done Audi for giving us a small glimpse into the future.

Damn ... that transforming Skysphere cockpit is wild! ... Cool video 👍

I was tearing. It's just so beautiful. Thanks for the no nonsense video! 👍

Nice job Audi Designers! Nice to see some cool vehicle concepts that can actually be produced and utilized. I prefer my steering wheel permanently placed! Need the Avant and SUV versions!

Awesome Audi concept cars, Audi has a bright future in EV. I like the moveable steering wheel and dashboard. I like the curve dashboard screen. I like the suicide doors and the minimalist seats. I like the sedan and sports car.

First time seeing your video on youtube. Love it! You are so engageing and relaxing to watch. Keep it up!

OUTSTANDING cars and presentation! They make everything else feel like they lack imagination!

Steering Wheel should fully deploy in 2 seconds. You might need the wheel RIGHT NOW! It can take its time folding away. All and all, the version in the AUDI RSQ from "I, Robot" (2004), works best to me. It deploys in less than a second and folds away about as fast.

The car is impressive but I am really worried when all those moving parts stop working when the car gets old 😬

That wheel base extension feature is so impressive

Impressive. Audi has come a long way since my 2013 Allroad :) Nice presentation Rory!

Audi makes some of the best concept cars I just wish most of the concepts made it to their production cars

Great concepts, i just wonder how may mechanically folding and retracting items will still work after 100,000

Your presentation is as amazing as the vehicle’s you describe. Great job!

I love this guy's locations where he shoots , he really concerned about backgrounds , i love ur work bro....keep on doinnn frm India 🙏🏿

I remember watching Demolition Man in the 90’s, and thinking in 2010 cars would look exactly like this….in reality I underestimated the rate of change in autos by about 20-30 years!

I'd love to know how long it takes for the designers to build these concepts, an insight on the design & build process would be awesome.

They look great, but unfortunately none of these are going to make production. There are loads of amazing concepts that manufacturers make to get some buzz, but very rarely, if ever, do they make production without some massive downgrades. Just something to remember for everyone, concepts are easy, but turning that into a profitable and practical mass-produced vehicle is a whole different ball game. Thanks for the video Rory!

Holy shit. This is perfect. One of the most exquisite cars I've ever seen. Closely rivals classic Aston Martins. Wow, absolutely incredible. Audi needs to listen to us viewers and make the production model as close to this as costly possible

Jeez, imagine getting into the car and waiting 5 minutes for the steering wheel to deploy.

Audi is literally insane when it comes to concepts..

Wow. The screen was put very cleverly into the back of the seat in front of it. Amazing.

Design element and gestures got me. The steering retraction thats what I love the most

If they make an actual car like that, it's probably gonna be an SUV 😁

Biggest question is what watch is that Rory?! Looks beautiful

This reminds me of that VW Golf concept W12 650. That was amazing at it's time!

Great reviews. Really interesting. Very well presented.

I like the design direction Audi is going. Very nice and futuristic.

Wow.. what a car.. I wish it's manufactured just as shown in the video..🤩🤩🤩

These concept cars are jaw dropping however some of the feature seem oddly placed if you want ti change settings but need to focus on the road, for example the climate control buttons being on the door.

Oké, normally I don't like VAG group, but when Audi went full EV all the big / study or concept models are stunning looking!!! 😍 👌

Almost all of Audi's concept never translate into production cars with exception of the original TT.

I think these are some amazing cars and beautifully designed but I feel there are a lot of tech not may look good but is unnecessary and expensive that the consumer will end up paying for and either never use or become frustrating

From the commercials on Danish tv, this is a concept car. I _hope_ they'll let us enjoy seeing it on the roads...but I doubt it.

I have never seen someone describing a vehicle so cool and flowing. great video great tour.This guy should get a buck.

Those are some proper concept cars, amazing job by Audi. The retractable steering wheel looks stunning and the whole thing really looks like it came from the future.

I love these type of cars, but we need smaller cars! I do think that’s the future.

The Urban Sphere is the same length as the ldv convoy I lived in for 5 years with my daughter and two dogs!

Incredible concepts and a fantastic tour production. 👏

My d2 a8 has maybe 80% of the little servo motors that adjust things like seat and steering wheel position still work, (great for an almost 25yr old frauline) in my case the car is still comfortable and functional. the steering wheel still moves in and out but no longer up or down, the seat adjustment works except for the drivers side headrest and the passenger seatbelt height adjustment. This dosent effect the functionality of the car, i wonder however what will happen with this new fangled thing if the little motor for deploying the steering wheel or opening the doors fails. are you essentially left with a brick? are there going to be manual overrides? like flip a switch and manually pull the steering wheel out? with the reliability of global supply chains and audi dealerships this stuff just dosent seem like a viable form of transportation yet. not to say it isn't a cool toy to show off on the floors of a trade show!

Excellent presenter Rory. Way classier than Matt Overexcited Watson.

Man!! This is absolutely insane! Love those designs … exterior and interior! Audi again awesome job! I’ve been big fan since 2000’s . Keep creating and making it! Audi! You inspire all car manufacturers around the world. Audi is always ahead of everyone and it’s all good! It’s just some naysayers and critics can’t simply swallow the truth.😅 Especially Ford, Kia, Hyundai fans! 😅 ( don’t bother with your nonsense offending replies with bla,bla to my comment … I won’t reply anyway 😎) …..Audi please make RS5 coupe with this exterior design update! That would’ve be so game changer! Audi is truly best in exterior and interior designs and technology! 👊🏼😎

Sky Sphere is my favorite concept, the long front is absolutely gorgeous

Amazing concept by Audi, but the real question is when will our roads and infrastructure become 21st century to allow these motors to function well without failure.

Great review as ever Rory. Amazing looking cars, but electric just ain't for me. Keep the reviews coming and don't forget the bikes!!! 😃😃😃 Cheers...

Oh man, these are absolutely gorgeous. Especially love the 2nd car you showed.

Wow amazing car , thanks for the detail well presented by the presenter.

I love Audis tremendously , they really need to implement this design concept into their newer models.

WOW, Audi has always done design for cars, like Apple do design for consumable tech. We’re seeing the x-over from cars being cars to cars being experience and entertainment spaces. We’re seeing the future right here

Audi’s are honestly just pure elegance & Minimalism. Stunning!!

Stunning vehicles, however, if your windshield cracked do you have to replace the whole windshield & top sunroof?

Exterior: I'm impressed. Pure awesomeness Interior: Looks uncomfortable and impractical. Projections on wood aren't the future, integrated screens and good software are (like what we saw from Apple at WWDC 2022) Also, the seats look unergonomic and I doubt that hand gestures will ever get intuitive. Better to focus on the stunning exterior :)

I have to say I personally am not looking forward to these future vehicles, they're just too autonomous, too gimmicky, and more so they're electric. As a petrol head the future is a nightmare for me😭. Anywho, one of the features Rory is highlighting here being the gesture open/close door function Mercedes already has in their current production S class, which begs the question - what and/or how much more can engineers and technicians cram into these vehicles?!

Not an expert in the field but I am assuming that autonomous mode aka steering wheel moving in and out etc, will be the first hurdle in most western countries. These are beautiful though I’d like that convertible. I was crushing on teslas new roadster but now lol this took the cake here! Awesome vid as usual

I don't know if I'm more impressed by the car or the video editing and recording skills.

📌I don’t know who but someone actually needs to hear this.You’ve got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.

This video was such an eye-candy. Incredible editing & post-production if I'm being honest. Cool cars too

I have a Vauxhall Meriva B with the same suicidal doors, but ours is probably 10x cheaper, if not way more 🤣😂 Love these doors so easy to come in and out, but I would say for older passengers on the back you will want that grab handle attached to the middle pillar; I guess this one is for different clients. 😀

That steering wheel has gapping areas around it when it comes out, will they sort of cover the gapping?

Love the walking birds 🐦 at the intro. Very fearless creature 2 be walking so close next to a giant like him.

Startrec level tech thank you so much lovely presentation ❤

Great great review as always sir. Astounding cars...breathtaking. this is how you design a car. Im a bmw fanboy, but bmw has nothing on audi in this department. Audi and merc are just a marvel to look at.

The bird at 0:30 - “oh dang, you’re filming? Sorry bruv”

Some of the features in the Grand Sphere reminds me of the autonomous Audi RSQ sports coupe in the 2004 “I, Robot” movie.

Awesome vid! Ideas on the Audi Q6? Might be Urban Sphere in production already?

The bird on the right at 0:34 admiring the rims

All look sick. Audi's are definitely one of best looking cars for me. Simply classy

Thanks Rory, these concept cars are amazing👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

It's the Urbansphere and it's absolutely massive. Makes a lot of sense.

Never thought I'd fall in love with all three cars all at the same time.

swamp doors, are viable if you use a b pillar .. the b pillar can go with the opening door .. a T middle will avail too ... i will drive all the conceptsz

I have just realized that its this Grandsphere concept we have been seeing as Santa's new Sledge in the new Christmas TV Advert.

Am surprised you not talk about how far they come of design thinking etc compared to the car used in film I-Robot as it’s first thing was thinking .

Amazing! Thank you

Can’t believe what I’m seeing. I saw the advert of TV not long ago. Future is finally here

You are very knowledgeable on the product did you use to sale car's?

Cool, very cool. I'm sure I'll never get any closer to one of these than these videos.

Let us wish many of the features and the bodylines come to the production cars. 3:11 what airmax 👟 💯 are those plz? And the colorway? 🔥

Very nice only complaint is how slow and loud everything is when moving

As they used to say on Car Talk; “What a heap”. Some of the many things that we don’t need on this planet any more.

Cadillac already said hold my beer with the introduction of the Celestiq. Nothing else compares to it now. The combination of Uber luxury and futuristic EV design is second to none. But this is cool though

If travelling by coach could be like this, it would be a real game changer.

Some pretty cool design elements, reminding me a bit of the UFOs we are about to have open contact with. The sharp body elements, small gaps, almost featureless. The telescopic nose is a bit ridiculous but the clean dash with developing steering wheel just might happen. Also the stylish seating. The color is just a dark metallic paint? and you did a little dramatic cinematic color grading? but goes well with the glass like feel of the surface.
