As the auto market becomes increasingly narrow, automakers tend to sharpen themselves up by increasing the sportiness in their designs, and generally assimilating their standard features with each other. Its easy to become weary of gilded family cars with heavy bravado, so Audis continuous production of timeless, unique and stunning designs serves as a delightful breath of fresh air.
The 2017 Audi S7 is the raw performance version of the already renowned A7 all-wheel drive luxury hatchback. It seats four, and comes equipped with a potent 4.0 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine with an output of 450 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The S7 also gets bigger brakes than its predecessor and a tauter suspension. This powerful setup gets an average of 22 mpg, which is impressively frugal considering the swift powertrain.
The S7s seats are upholstered in high quality diamond stitched Valcona leather with matching accents. The interior layout is remarkably concise, and theres an air of palpable German luxury. All materials are genuine and are employed beautifully. The S7 additionally comes with an enrapturing 14 speaker BOSE surround system that may very well put your home sound system to shame. Paired with the plush seats and cozy interior ambience, this cars cabin is sure to capture your heart.
The exterior design of the A7/S7 family is unequivocally refreshing and satisfying. Yes, the design satisfies me. It satisfies me because it obviously started with a clear ‘car’ image. Not a sneaker, not a waterfall, not an animal, but a car. The result is a quaintly understated dynamo that has all the right stuff in all the right places. Nevertheless, there’s no need to fret about the shape being overtly cookie cutter. It sports a hatchback rear, a low to the ground, performance-ready stance, and an elegantly tapered body.
