Audi A7 revealed
Audi has released its new A7 but, as usual these days, some photos were 'mysteriously' leaked onto the internet the day before. Fancy that, eh? So, without much further ado, here's the new Audi A7...
Based on the limo-sized A8 sedan, the A7 is a four-seater-only, four-door swoopy saloon, and features four of Audi's hi-tech six-cylinder engines; two diesels and two petrols. The pick is probably the supercharged V6 petrol, which puts out a silken 220kW and a hunky 440Nm. The 150kW turbosdiesel 3.0-litre is a sweet thing, too.
Depending on the engine you pick, the A7 can be had in front- or all-wheel drive powertrains. Our tip is that the S7 will be shown at the Paris Motor Show in a couple of months, and it'll have a manly V8 under the bonnet (belch).
In terms of market, think BMW GT, think Merc CL, think Porsche Panamera V6. If you're keen, you'll be waiting until late next year before it lobs in Australia.

It is so beautiful, the cabin so brilliant. Audi, MAKE THE RS7!!! it would be a rocket!!!! the standard a7 might cost around $200k mark i expect but worth the money

Gorgeous as ever what a lovely cabin, good on Audi for keeping it as close to concept car. RS7 will be an absolute missile.
