Audi has been offering the A7 for more than two years and it doesn’t have too many tuning packages, so B&B Automobiltechnik decided to give it a little more individuality.
The exterior package doesn’t restyle the car too much. It includes a new front fender vents, performance braking system with red calipers, a set of huge 21” alloy wheels fitted with low-profile tires and for perfect stance – lowered suspension by 30 mm.
The real deal is the performance package for the mighty 3.0 liter V6 TFSI model boosted to 385PS (283 kW) and 490Nm (361 lb-ft). There is also a Stage II giving another 23 PS and 30Nm – overall power of 408PS (300 kW) and 520Nm (383 lb-ft). The result is thanks to a high-flow air filter, new intercooler and an ECU re-map. If you need more power, the 3.0 TFSI can become brutal – 425PS (313 kW) and 540Nm (398 lb-ft), which is Stage III.
The 3.0 liter TDI can also be upgraded to 325PS (239 kW) and a staggering torque of 640Nm (472 lb-ft).
This just in: Audi’s 3.0 L TFSI supercharged V6 engine appears on Ward’s 10 Best Engines 2012 list for a third consecutive year. WardsAuto is an automotive technology watchdog which has been gathering data and conducting analysis of engineering advancements for 85 years now.
For Ward’s 2012 engine list, 36 “contenders” were probed for their power, technology, fuel economy, noise, vibration and harshness. Additional criteria required each engine to be in a regular-production U.S.-specification model on sale no later than first-quarter 2012 and that vehicle that carries the engine should not exceed 55 000$.
“With so many engines featuring gasoline direct-injection and forced induction, we’re pleased to have a list that is rich in technology,” says Drew Winter, editor-in-chief of WardsAuto World (the company’s monthly magazine). “Plus, every engine reinforces the idea that even fuel-efficient vehicles must be fun to drive.”

The TFSI provides 310 units of horsepower and the respectable 325 lb.-ft. of torque. Because of the all-aluminium structure of the engine and four vane Roots-style supercharger, the TFSI is able to impersonate V8 behaviour while remaining an economical V6.
In 2012, you’ll be able to find the 3.0 TFSI in cars such as the 2012 A6 sedan, 2012 Audi A7, the Audi Q7 and also in the S4 and S5.
Senner Tuning has announced their tuning upgrades for the Audi A7 Sportback 3.0 TDI. The tuner offers both performance and styling upgrades.
As you know, the latest diesel engines are extremely fuel efficient and powerful, so the tuner decided to provide some extra horsepower for the 3.0 liter V6 TDI. The Ecu re-map gains additional 61PS (45 kW) and 120Nm (88 lb-ft) of torque, so the total power is 306PS (225 kW) and 620Nm (457 lb-ft). However, the fuel consumption is not harmed. The V-max limiter is raised to 280 km/h (174 mph), instead of the factory’s 250 km/h (155mph).
Senner also offers a new stainless-steel sport exhaust system with twin 90mm shiny tailpipes.
The stance is also improved, because of the lowering kit, which cuts 30 mm from the height of the vehicle.
A set of Varianza T1S rims 9.5J x 20” fitted with 275/35 R20 performance tires are also added.
Audi A7 Sportback received a tuning package from ABT. It features both – perfromance and styling upgrades.
ABT exterior package includes front spoiler, side skirts and a rear skirt for the 4-pipe exhaust system.
The performance package features boosting the 3.0 liter TDI engine to 282PS (207 kW) and 500Nm of torque, instead of 245PS and 450Nm from the factory. (more…)
MTM has released a modest program for the recently debuted premium five-door coupe Audi A7 Sportback. Emphasizing on the ride’s undoubted sporty nature, the MTM program include both, enhanced performance and handling levels. (more…)
Audi are about to release RS7 model, which will be range-topping the A7. For now, A7 Sportback offers supercharged V6 with 300HP, but the sports version is something very different.
Audi RS7 is set to debut in the US in 2011. It will feature AWD and an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission, a sports suspension, larger air intakes in the front fascia and a set of 19″ or 20″ alloys. (more…)
A7 Sportback is the new vehicle presented by Audi. It is big, five-door model, which combines practicality and unique style. The vehicle features advanced technologies such as super lightweight body, powerful and efficient V6 engines, sporty chassis, superb safety and premium multimedia systems. Audi A7 Sportback starts at €51 650 as a direct oponent of BMW Gran Turismo.
Audi A7 Sportsback has four V6 engines – two diesel and two petrol units. The output ranges from 204hp to 300hp. The new 3.0 TDI with 204 hp and multitronic consumes on average just 5.3 l per 100 km (44.38 US mpg), corresponding to CO2 emissions of just 139 g per km. All engines use Audi’s innovative thermal management system, a recuperation system and a start-stop system.
The car is very big, it measures 4.97 meters (16.31 ft) long and 1.91 meters (6.27 ft) wide, but only 1.42 meters (4.66 ft) high. Featuring long hood, , the short front overhang, the long wheelbase, the sportily flowing C-pillars and the sharply dropping rear create a dynamic overall impression.
The trunk capacity is 535-liter and with the rear seats folded down – 1 390 liters.
The LED headlights come as an option and further emphasize the unique style of A7 Sportsback. Bi-xenon headlights and LED tail lights come standard. The innovative all-weather light function has also been integrated into the headlights, replacing the classic fog lights.
Audi A7 Sportback combines a new level of technical intelligence with logical, intuitive ergonomics and self-explanatory operation. The advanced MMI operating system with central menu button and reduced number of buttons comes standard, while one of the options is a new head-up display that projects the most important information on the windshield. The MMI touch system combines a hard drive navigation system with the convenience of touchpad input.
The driver can use the touchpad to perform numerous functions, such as using his or her finger to write the letters of the destination or the digits of the telephone number.
The online services work together with Google to connect the five-door Audi coupe to the Internet via the Bluetooth car phone. A UMTS module delivers images and information from Google Earth to the monitor and combines them with the navigation route. A WLAN hotspot is used to connect mobile devices. Further to the Bose sound system, the top-of-the-line option is the Advanced Sound System from Bang & Olufsen featuring 1 300 watts of power and 15 speakers.
The standard automatic transmissions also play a role in the high efficiency of the Audi A7 Sportback. Audi offers two different transmissions depending on the engines: The continuous multitronic sends the power to the front wheels, while the sporty seven-speed S tronic works together with quattro permanent all-wheel drive.
A7 Sportback stands on huge 18” to 20” wheels. Furthermore, the optional adaptive air suspension with controlled damping ensures perfect handling and driving dynamics.
