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

[Tumbo]

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.

amen

Very true, sadly, the more I look at the concept the more it differers from the leaked pics. It´s a pitty cause the Concept is just stunning.

 

[klier]

Yes Sir, that concept is stunning. But those concepts always make the production version look ugly, so I'd rather not see them at all.

I think that Audi just miss its mind with mindblowing concepts. Loos at the test mule and the leaked pics, it´s in fact the same car with different wheels, door handles and... A completly different front, the best part of it, and it´s gone, well done Audi .

Audi TT from the concept. Audi Q7 from the Quattro concept.

You really just blurt out without actually knowing a thing or two about what you're saying, don't you ?

Radical concepts, not concepts for car previews. Where is the shooting brake? rosemeyer? Nuvolari? etc.

Well, radical concepts that are faithfully converted into production form are rarely fleshed out by any other carmakers, so in Audi's defense, that's not a big issue. The Avus was a showcase on its intention to pursue all-aluminum construction. The Rosemeyer gave way to the Le Mans concept. The Nuvolari was more or less a design-study that set pace for Audi's design language. One can argue the A5/S5 is the closest interpretation of the Nuvolari language. The shooting break previewed the D3 A8, very much like the MB shooting brake of couple years ago previewed the current E coupe. Also I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the TT's concept. IT was radical in the sense that it laid the ground for Audi's upcoming vehicle line-up which some Bauhaus-like design cues...hell, the production interior of the TT was damn close to the concept, as was the exterior. Off the top of my head, Chrysler is one automaker that has had pretty solid streak of panning out pretty outrageous concepts into production, i.e. Viper, Prowler.

That said, if I were to pass judgment on the A7 on those spy pics, count me as one of the disappointed. But let's wait to see it in its entirety in press pics.

I don't understand why some of you are talking about the concept car when photos are few pages back reveal that the car does not look anything like the concept except for shape.

The rear seems to be exactly like the concept, and the side profile is the same one with the exception of the door handles. And I would expect the interior to be very very similar too.

BTW, if tis comes out in the first half of 2010, and BMW previews their 6er CS on the first months of the next year too, the CLS will be the very last one to show its face, just the contrary as I thought initially.

 

[MoSs]

this car will be absalutly stunning...

They are testing it against E-class, 7er & A5 SB.
