Coming up on the reveal of the new 2018 Audi A8 in Barcelona in July, Audi has dropped a video showing how the new flagship sedan can park itself in an enclosed garage.

Though details on the car are currently scarce, the new video does give us a decent look at both its exterior and interior, for a few brief moments during the clip. In the video, it looks like the 2018 [A8 ](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/11032/next-audi-a8-will-be-a-super-mild-hybrid-thanks-to-48-volt-electrical-system>)will receive Audi's full digital gauge cluster setup and a new steering wheel. Not surprisingly, wood and aluminum trim is scattered around the very fancy-looking interior.

The brief look at the new Audi A8's exterior revealed in the video (we've cropped and enhanced the video for the image above to give you a better look) shows us a more pointed grille and slimmer headlights. On the back, it looks like there's a new tail light setup that seems to be connected on both sides of the wide sedan by a sleek LED bar.

As it turns out, the video also doubles as a teaser for the upcoming Spider-Man movie, *Spider-Man: Homecoming*. If you look closely, you can see that the child in the backseat of the [A8](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/11032/next-audi-a8-will-be-a-super-mild-hybrid-thanks-to-48-volt-electrical-system>) is rocking some serious Spidey gear.
