1) Magnetic Suspension like the new TT
2) LED Brake Lamps?

or are these considered 'launch' details?

As for LED tails the close-up from the "leaked" pics doesn't look LED to me at all.

wouldn't the light from a single bulb bleed rather than be able cut such a figure?

Same reason it doesn't bleed to the outside area, there's just a divider there.

I would expect an LED setup to have more even lighting. It looks like there are areas that are much brighter than others in that tail light. To me, it almost looks like there's a single bulb in the right portion of the light being reflected around to the other parts of the reverse "c" shape.

So 2 bulbs would be my bet. __________________ 1st Ring: 2002 Dolphin Grey B6 A4 1.8TqMS 2nd Ring: 2006 Moro Blue B7 A4 2.0TqMS 3rd Ring: 2010 Phantom Black B8 A5 2.0TqM S Line 4th Ring: TBD
