Audi might be waiting until Wednesday for the official release of its revised 2014MY A8 luxury saloon, but German car magazine Autobild has already published an official promotional video of the facelifted version of the long-wheelbase A8L W12, which more or less, should share the same set of updates as the regular model.

On the cosmetic front, we see the new headlamps featuring Audi’s LED matrix lighting system with 18 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for each unit, a restyled front bumper with new chrome trims, a fresh set of tail lamps with 24 LEDs in eight segments separated by a chrome bar, and a re-worked rear bumper with new exhaust finishers.

If there’s more than meets the eye to Audi’s revamped A8 series, we’ll find out about it in the official release that will follow within the next 24 hours.

Update: Watch the live reveal of the facelifted A8 on August 21, at 9:00 AM CEST or 3:00 AM EST in the video player added below the jump
