The 2012 Audi A7
HERNDON, Va., April 15, 2011 — Audi has broken new ground with the A7, combining the
emotional appeal of a coupe with the prestige of a sedan and the functionality of a wagon. The
innovative, five-door design of the newest Audi entry sits atop a sporty, lightweight chassis and
is partnered with a highly efficient supercharged V6, latest generation quattro
®
all-wheel drive
and the latest advanced driver assistance and multimedia systems to define a new benchmark
for the premium segment.
Exterior
The Audi A7 is the next evolution of Audi design, with short overhangs, a long wheelbase, an
expansive hood and low-slung, sporty proportions. The Audi A7 stretches 195.6 inches in length
and has a 114.7 inch wheelbase. Combined with its 84.2 inch width and 55.9 inch height, the
Audi A7 exudes elegance and confidence.
With its low roofline and integrated rear doors, the Audi A7 has a coupe-like silhouette. Other
design elements that signify coupe styling are the frameless door windows and side mirrors
mounted on the doors. The C-pillar stretches to the rear and flows into the shoulder, while the
sharp tornado line begins at the headlights, extends across the fenders, over the doors and
terminates in a gentle slope toward the tail lights, paying homage to the 1969 Audi 100 Coupé S.
The Audi signature Singleframe

grille is contoured at the leading edge of the hood, with a
chrome surround framing high-gloss black lattices with chrome accents. The horizontal posture
of the fascia emphasizes the width of the Audi A7, as do the wide, low air inlets and horizontal
struts.
