Default S8 with bi-xenon headlights

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/jcss8bixenon1.jpg"></center><p>Got some new brochures today - S3, S4, S6, S8, and RS4. The S8 brochure has the new Audi bi-xenon headlights - both the low and high beams are xenon like the new 911 Turbo. You can see the two little lights on the inside edge of the large lights. Pretty funky!

You saw it here first!<p>John Stahmann

Default S8 with bi-xenon, Europe only?

Is this just like AoA in that the US is spared the newest technology. The S8 is finally making its way hear after soooooo long the availablity in Germany. '01 S8 for America doesn't have these newest and bad-est bi-xenon headlights!
I'm a S8 wanabe ... maybe?

Default Don't blame AOA alone. Sometimes the car mfrs release new technology

into their local market so that they can quickly respond to repairs and get feedback quicker. Also, since their volumes are lower they can reduce their risk if there is any problem before they go to a bigger more distant market place.
