I wanna see the S8 first, it should have been the new premier IMO. That said, this is the A7 design's moment of truth if they are about to show a S7.

In terms of design, I think that the S7 will offer no surprises. I would assume that the metallic silver/red leather, S-Line packaged A7 car as displayed at the recent NAIAS and Chicago motor shows is a pretty clear indication of how the S7 will look.

With regard to the engine, it will certainly not have the RS5s' powerplant under its' hood. The new 4.0 turbocharged V8 with 408 HP (in S7 guise) will be presented in this car.

The RS5 powerplant has had it's day in my opinion, great though it is but the world has changed from the day it was conceived and now it's FI all the way, on the 408hp S7, this may well be the official figure being quoted but I doubt it's the actual figure.
