If this series of grainy images emanating from the Gulf States is in fact the 2009 (as the page title suggests) or 2010 Audi A8, then things have indeed evolved since we last reported on next decade's Audi flagship. Most noticeable on the exterior is the distinctive rear panel with hints of Audi R8 inspiration, combined with the family drooping-snoot face.

On the interior, we're seeing a curvaceous center console complete with actual T-bar shifter combine with what's either a pop-out nav screen or just an add-on for testing purposes. Take a look at the pictures and decide for yourself.We really wish we could tell you more, unfortunately our knowledge of the Arabic laguage is slightly limited. And by "slightly limited" we kind of mean "non-existent." [gulf4cars via Autoblog]
