A five-inch display fits between the tachometer and speedometer to relay everything from music
controls to navigation instructions to the driver, while an optional heads-up display projects the
most important information onto the windshield. A range of high-end audio options are available,
including a 14-speaker BOSE
®
sound system or the range-topping Bang & Olufsen
®
Advanced
Sound System, complete with 15 speakers and 1,300 watts of power.
Supercharged Power
The Audi philosophy of intelligent downsizing is embodied in the A7 with the fitment of its 3.0
TFSI
®
V6. Located in the 90-degree V of the cylinder banks is a belt-driven supercharger that
compresses intake air to a maximum of 0.8 bar, resulting in seamless power delivery befitting a
true sports sedan. A maximum of 310 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque allows the Audi A7 to sprint from
0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 130 mph.
All Audi A7 models are fitted with a state-of-the-art eight-speed Tiptronic
®
automatic
transmission, balancing quick acceleration with impressive fuel economy. Audi drive select
incorporates the automatic transmission, power steering and engine to modify shift points,
steering boost and throttle characteristics through four modes: comfort, auto, dynamic and
individual. Audi drive select is standard on the A7.
Next generation quattro
The Audi A7 features the latest generation quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, featuring
enhanced torque vectoring. Depending on grip, speed and axial forces, the system will alter the
standard 40:60 front-to-rear torque split. quattro all-wheel-drive works together with an intelligent
brake management system to quell under steer by lightly applying the brakes to the inside rear
wheel, thereby contributing to seamless, neutral cornering.
