Being designers, we need to look at all things design–and not just the fancy designery blogs out there, but also to take inspiration from other sources. The Audi A8 is just that, an inspiration. To me, it fuels my fire when thinking and designing. How functional, clear and simple a well-executed concept should be/can be, etc.
I imagine these designers were firing on all cylinders when they rolled out this car. Audi is a extremely well-executed brand. These lovely details are simply awe-inspiring– they help push me farther.
