If recent history is to be repeated then the S7 will be force feed, like the other most recent S models. Whether they follow the same route with an RS version is hard to predict as these models are very limited production runs and have less of an effect on the overall CO2 emissions of the entire company but my best guess is all future high performance models that are non-supercar will be FI or at the very least Hybrid.

The A7/S7 is shaping up quite nicely, this is really going to be a really hot segment in a very short space of time. The CLS had it all to itself for an entire generation, however with the A7 and now the GC it is going to be really interesting which car wins the hearts and minds of the segments target clientele.

From what I have seen the majority of CLS owners here in California seem to be executive types in the 45-55 age group who you would typically see driving E550's but jumping at the opportunity to have something more sporty to alleviate their mid life crisis because they can't afford to run a second car. The A7 and GC I think will draw in a much younger crowd perhaps the 35-45 year olds who want dynamic styling but consider MB a more mature drivers car.

To be fair all three look like they will be stunning cars, I wonder what you guys think of what type of buyers each of these cars will attract.

PS
Andy - I really like the PS you made, I will not be surprised if they turn out to be around 95% accurate.

PPS
As for engines, i'm expecting A7's to be - 3.0 Supercharged along with 3.0 and 4.0 diesel and a 4.0TT for the S7 along with some form of hybrid model appear in the not to distant future....just my guess.

Am I the only one that compares this always to...

 

[braaf]

Like these.

Not these though.

Like the first two photos, the car looks good at those angles.
The last four not good..

Probably.....don't see any resemblance at all, but then again any fastback/hatchback should have a similar profile, what your suggesting is similar to saying a 3 series is comparable to any other car that has typical sedan features i.e a volvo s60 or a 4 door honda accord, but i think we will all agree that the bmw interpretation is way different.

LED-strip sporting same shape as the R8 LEDs? Perhaps the R8 facelift will introduce a different shape for the two seater and be more differentiated from the A7.

Let's first hope that this car doesn't just look like the rest of the damn line-up. In other words, "copy, paste, resize"

 

[RikfromBelgium]

you're still hoping for that?

 

[NarutoRamen]

you're still hoping for that?

C'mon, I'm trying to be optimistic here. I do drive an AUDI you know, and they are kind of the underdogs. LOL

Can some one from Holland post some pictures and some information please?

 

[Centurion]

Let's hope they won't make us stay up until 02:00am to then be dissapointed by a predictable design unveiled by a has-been-star, aka Lucy Lu.

 

[rollo]

Ouch...............she's still cute though!

When is the launch of this hatchback?

 

[mave]

Audi A7 Sportback to be unveiled on July 26 2010.

 

[Centurion]

Booo, another US targeted launch. Brace yourself for another late night release. Either way I'm eager to see the car, especially the S version
