A7/S7/RS7 New Audi A7 Thread (Spy pics & info)

[bmer]

Perhaps it's just the picture but the front overhang looks looong. There's also something in the front that reminds me of the TT. I love the roofline and the windowline.

New A7 looks brilliant. Lovely shape to it! Imagine the spy picture with the door closed. The window line and profile fir just right.

Enough of the overhang rubbish. It's there for the shape and crumple zone and it isn't that big. Driving dynamics will be good just wait and see.

ARe you guys sure that's the A7? The front looks VERY much like the chops of the A8

It's definitely an A7 - look at the hatchback rear:

Yes, obviously they opted for A8-like front instead going for the one featured on a concept car.

Meaning the A6 will be even more conservative - since the A7 connects A6 to A8.

Btw, the car looks somehow longer than the concept ... Did they put it on A8-sized platform instead of A6 one - just like BMW did with 5er GT?

This is the A5 SB's bigger brother?

This is the A5 SB's bigger twin brother?

Fixed it for you

Thanks. I somehow managed to miss the shot of the rear hatch.

Hinted by the name I'm guessing CLS positioning for this one.

Lovely: it should be offered in V8 & above versions only for "prestigious image". V6-Supercharged ? maybe but with a deeper sound.

RWD oriented AWD (Panamera-like) and we have a winner.

For sure. No doubts there.

Edit;

...and here I was complaining about the overhang of the new SL. Guys, I hadn't seen the A7 yet...OMG!!!

If this turns out to be a carbon copy of the concept, then we have a massive winner here.

The side & rear look quite much like the concept, while the front is very similar to new D4 A8. At least the spy pics from the garage show so.

^ it is so far, front - roof - shoulders almost 100% identical. Minor details will differ.

 

[Deleted member 25]

The thing that worries me is the front's harmonious flow with rest of the car as it's million times better on the Concept than on the new A8.

A7 scoop

A7 Sportback Concept:

I noticed tine, quite dissappointing that the trapezoidal grill won't make it. and those headlights are nice and aggressive too.

 

[NarutoRamen]

I won't lie, I have no excitement for this car. The A5 Sportback is to this car what the A4 is to the D4 A8.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Yea Audi is trying to hold on to this thing until the new CLS comes out. This thing should have been out way before the A5 sportsback even reach production.
