Audi makes a powerful statement

Style was the number one talking point during time with the big Audi S7 four-door coupe. We were able to display it at two totally different venues, and it came as no surprise when the bold shape of the hot version of the Audi A7 passed the look-at-me tests with flying colours.

High school formals are major social occasions where showing your ownership of the latest and greatest is important to many people.

The new Audi S7 chauffeured by my partner Julie transported her nephew in fine style.

Julie’s car, the just launched Audi S7 coupe, appeared near the top of the list of star automotive attractions.

The first time around we had the Audi for only that single evening, but we’ve just been able to spend a week in it for further evaluation. Again, we found it to be a real star in the styling stakes. We took it for an evening cruise to one of our favourite cafes. The number of people who stopped and looked over the Audi coupe would have made its designers extremely pleased.

The bold grille, big wheels and added details in the luxurious cabin leave no doubt this is the high-performance version of Audi’s largest sports coupe.

The big Audi coupe is not just about show, though. There’s plenty going on under that shapely bonnet that also deserves discussion. Buyers will appreciate the extra urge from the tuned V8 engine and the sporting feel given by dynamic suspension and steering settings.

Audi is using an all-new version of its efficient twin-turbo V8 engine to power the S7. The V8 drives through a seven-speed double-clutch automatic transmission.

The sleek big four-door sports coupe has plenty of engine power and an abundance of road grip.

The new high-performance Audi S7 coupe is an excellent addition to the Audi A7 range and seems sure to attract the attention of those looking for the S7’s clever blend of sporty and elegant motoring.
