Of course, engineering team has constructed a mighty 3.0-liter TFSI turbocharged V6 unit that is part of the standard equipment, along with a new seven-speed S-tronic gearbox.

    Design

    In terms of exterior and interior design, we do believe that fans and buyers will be impressed – the revised coupe offers the best of three worlds – the spaciousness of a sedan, versatility of a sportback and dynamic design of a coupe. With distinctive proportions and neat additions, the A7 is pure eye-catcher.

    At the front we do see a wide and low Singleframe grille with large air inlets and pronounced wheel arches and sloping roofline. With other words, this is a signature Audi silhouette, but this time with more additions and changes, compared to older models. Further goodies include titanium-black diffuser insert, illuminated S line door sills and a 20mm lower ride height due to the new sporty suspension. There are also large air inlets in the front bumper and stylish 19-inch Y-spoke design wheels, wrapped by all-season tires and optional 20-inch five-double-V-spoke design silver wheels with all-season tires. Flagship models can also be specified with 21-inch five-V-spoke-star design with contrast gray. Neat!

    The interior, on the other hand, features numerous advanced technology goodies and premium fabrics and components.

The three-dimensional architecture allows placing numerous elements without sacrificing comfort or interior space. Some of the goodies include three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with shift paddles, standard three-zone climate control, standard panoramic sunroof and high-quality leather seats.

    Drivetrain system

    As mentioned, new A7 comes with a revised 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine. This system produces massive power output, due to the addition of a turbocharger. This component replaces the belt-drive supercharger from the previous model and works in perfect harmony with the added Audi valvelift system. All these changes and additions result on 335hp and 369Nm of torque. Neat, right?
