Re: AUDI Concept (A7) revealed
Cars from practically all manufacturers are becoming so perfect in all aspects of performance these days.
This makes it difficult to differentiate on quality or performance like in the past.
As a result manufacturers are trying to be different for the sake of it and to come up with new ideas, in order to do the extra sale.
Most of these niche-within-a-niche cars satisfy no practical purpose and are just gimmicks for people who like to try any new idea that appears.
I suppose the A7 and most of all the X6 fall in this category.

Re: AUDI Concept (A7) revealed
I would but it over Panamera any day. This will look more civil in production version. It resembles the Lambo version alot while I do not think we need to worry about whether this is a final shape or there is a possible cacoon or not:)

Re: AUDI Concept (A7) revealed
All these four door coupes like the Panamera, the CLS, the BMW CS (postponed or cancelled) and now the A7 thay all follow the general style of the other cars in the respective ranges. No surprises here.
If you like one car from a manufacturer's range you will most probably (although not 100% certainly) like them all. This is how the styling/marketing game is played.

Re: AUDI Concept (A7) revealed
KresoF1:
Production A7/S7 will be little bit different(exterior rear view mirrors for example) but, design core is the same. Most interesting engines will be new 3.0TDI with biturbo and 300ps and 4.0TFSI with about 394ps in S7. All standard with 7speed S Tronic.
Do you know whether they will offer any larger engines (and when)

As far as I know 4.0TFSI in S7 will be the biggest engine. Bigger one will be in new A8. Just not right from the start...
Re: AUDI Concept (A7) revealed
Lars997:In the middle of the grill just as in case of all the Audis?
The front looks nice, but just wondering where to put the No. Plate?
The rear ist so ugly, that you rather always have a trailer which makes it difficult to see it!
Absolutely agree about the rear BTW.

Re: AUDI Concept (A7) revealed
Rossi:In the middle of the grill of course. BTW, there will be some chaanges on the car for production version. Rear will look little bit different also...

Re: AUDI Concept (A7) revealed
KresoF1:Seems they will place the A7 between A6 and A8 then (as the name already suggests...)

Somehow, this picture does look like a lot of understeer again... Too much mass at the front of the car...

Yes. It would help a lot if Audi finally switched to a RWD platform.
