	<p>As beautiful as Audi&#8217;s lineup is inside-out, it&#8217;s hard to find a nice variety of design differences between most of its vehicles. For example, the new A6 looks very similar to the A4 and the A7 looks very similar to the A8. Audi has heard the feedback of its customers and is working on a range-wide revamp of its design language as it expands its lineup with a range of new SUVs, sedans and sports cars.</p>
<p>Audi design director Stefan Sielaff says that the company is already into the project and will closely define a set of individual themes for each of the three major segments.</p>
<p>The new project is known as AQR &#8211; A which stands for Audi (sedans and hatches), Q for Quattro (SUVs) and R for sports cars.</p>

<p><span id="more-107572"></span></p>
<p>“We know that some people think our saloons look too alike and are well into a project to change that,” Sielaff told <em>AutoCar</em>, “we will mainly do that with the proportions of those cars”.</p>
<p>We guess we can expect some nice Audi design concepts to debut very soon.</p>

<p>Audi’s four-door coupe CLS-fighter, the A7, has been making quite the impression throughout the world of automobile journalists. However, we were surprised that Audi had fitted the base A7 with their supercharged 3.0L V6 rather than a more powerful engine. But before we could continue to be critical, Audi has just unveiled its latest iteration of the A7 for the North American market here at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show to up its ante: the S7.</p>

<p><strong><em>Click here for our <a title="Audi A7 Review" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2011/11/11/review-2012-audi-a7-is-ingolstadts-new-masterpiece/">Audi A7 Review</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>Much like the other S-Models such as the S6 and the S8, the S7 comes with Audi’s new 4.0L TFSI twin-turbocharged V8. And like the S6, that means the S7 will also produce 420hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. The result is a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds and a top speed limited to 155 mph.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you think it&#8217;s possible to have too many options? Well, Audi clearly doesn&#8217;t. In the United States alone, the German brand offers 14 different body styles (not counting S models as a separate body style) and 21 models in its lineup. Next year, that number will continue to grow by at least another handful. [...]]]></description>

	<p>Do you think it&#8217;s possible to have too many options? Well, Audi clearly doesn&#8217;t. In the United States alone, the German brand offers 14 different body styles (not counting S models as a separate body style) and 21 models in its lineup. Next year, that number will continue to grow by at least another handful. However, the big news for the brand this year comes in the form of its first attempt at creating a Mercedes-Benz CLS competitor, the new 2012 Audi A7.</p>

<p>Now, granted that the Mercedes-Benz CLS really started the sloping roofline four-door-coupe luxury segment, others like Porsche have stepped in to grab a piece of the pie. While I’m not a big fan of the Porsche Panamera’s appearance, the Audi A7 definitely wins my approval. Before I even get into a full review of the new Audi, I’m going to go ahead and say that compared to the Benz CLS, the Audi is, without question, an overall superior machine. Why? Let&#8217;s have a look.</p>

<p><img class="size-full wp-image-110594 aligncenter" title="2012 Audi A7 Review" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2012-audia7review-exterior-b.jpg" alt="2012 Audi A7 Review" width="627" height="367" /></p>
<h2><strong>Exterior</strong>:</h2>
<p>The new 2012 Audi A7 fits into the brand&#8217;s lineup between the A6 and the massive A8, but is by no means a medium sized car. The new large Ingolstadt sedan is 16.31 ft long, and has a wheelbase of 9.55 ft and stands 6.27 ft wide. Nonetheless, the A7 maintains a very sporty stance and stands just 4.66 ft tall.</p>
<p>I have to say that after the R8, the Audi A7 is the most beautiful car in the company&#8217;s lineup that bears the four-ringed badge. From the signature, sleek-design of the LED headlamps to its sloping roofline, Audi&#8217;s exterior designers paid close attention to making the A7 a drop-dead gorgeous car.</p>
<p><div class="woo-sc-quote left"><p>I have to say that after the R8, the Audi A7 is the most beautiful car in the company&#8217;s lineup that bears the four-ringed badge.</p></div> When viewed directly from the front, the sedan has a wonderfully designed front fascia, reminiscent of the R8. However, when viewed from the side, the A7 has the looks of an exceptional luxury sedan from the B-pillar and forward. From the B-pillar and back, the A7 has the appeal of high-end sports coupe. Not to mention, when you bring up the spoiler with the touch of a button, you may just mistake the A7 for a coupe and not the luxury sedan it is.</p>
<p>According to Stefan Sielaff, Head of Design at Audi AG: &#8220;Audi design is the harmony of form and function. It is the perfect interaction with technology and an expression of beauty; the aesthetic staging of highly developed technology.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sielaff is on point with his statement as function in the A7 hasn&#8217;t been sacrificed in the interest of form.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-110595 aligncenter" title="2012 Audi A7 Review" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2012-audia7review-interior-b.jpg" alt="2012 Audi A7 Review" width="627" height="346" /></p>
<h2><strong>Interior</strong>:</h2>
<p>The Audi A7 has a practical hatchback tailgate which opens to a very generously sized boot &#8211; if you need more space, the A7&#8242;s rear seats fold flat down for extra room.</p>
<p>But how is comfort for the rear passengers? After all, this is a sedan we’re talking about. Hop in the back and you&#8217;ll notice that the A7 offers ample legroom for rear-seat passengers. However, as with all these four-door-coupes in the segment, accommodating for the sloping roofline takes precedence over head room. I&#8217;m 6 foot tall and I could feel by hair brushing up against the roof. Nonetheless, the rear passengers do get their own climate control system and heated leather seats to keep them comfortable.</p>
<p><div class="woo-sc-quote right"><p>Compared to its competitors, Audi still builds one of the most impressive, ergonomic and quality built interiors in the luxury segment, and the A7 reaffirms that&#8230;</p></div> So we know how the passengers feel in the car, but what about the most important factor: How is it from the point of view of the driver? When you get in the driver’s seat you’re welcomed by one of the most stylish, luxurious and sporty cabins I&#8217;ve seen in the segment. The full front-dash encompasses the driver in a cocoon-like area and is packed with gadgets and gizmos.</p>
<p>Just to name some of the features that were available in our test-car, the fully-loaded A7 Prestige Plus came with Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop &amp; Go, Head-up Display, Night Vision assistant (an outstanding one at that), MMI navigation plus with MMI touch, Google Earth (yes, your navigation map displays Google Earth satellite imagery), and heated and cooled front seats. As impressive as all these features sound, it is the Bang and Olufsen Advanced Sound System with 15 speakers including sub woofer, center speaker and acoustic lens emerging tweeters that always blew me away. However, what also blew me away is the $5,900 price tag of the sound system. Nonetheless, I have to say it is by far the best I&#8217;ve ever experienced in an automobile.</p>
<p>Compared to its competitors, Audi still builds one of the most impressive, ergonomic and quality built interiors in the luxury segment, and the A7 reaffirms that fact and takes it just a step further with touches like veneer layers of light and dark oak.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-110597 aligncenter" title="2012 Audi A7 Review" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2012-audia7review-peformance-b.jpg" alt="2012 Audi A7 Review" width="627" height="304" /></p>
<h2><strong>Performance</strong>:</h2>
<p>While the wheel control arms and many other chassis components in the Audi A7 are made of aluminum &#8211; it is still a very heavy car, weighing in at an outstanding 4,210 pounds. That takes away from the A7 feeling anything like a sports car, but the combination of the engine and Audi&#8217;s 8-speed Tiptronic transmission still make it pretty engaging to drive.</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t recommend taking sharp turns at high-speeds, but the quattro all-wheel-drive system will indeed make you feel comfortable going through long bends on the highways and country roads at speeds that can make you feel a little bit sick. Audi also offers its Driver Select program, that when set to Dynamic, actively distributes power to and between the rear wheels, as a nice complement to quattro drive. Now, don&#8217;t expect the Dynamic mode to throw you back in your seat for some aggressive performance &#8211; just expect it to make you smile&#8230; just a little.</p>
<p>In the United States, the 2012 Audi A7 is available with only one engine option &#8211; the 3.0 liter TFSI V6 supercharged engine. It makes 310-hp at 5,500 rpm with a maximum torque of 325 lb-ft  between 2,900 and 4,500 rpm. Mated to an 8-speed Tipronic transmission, 0 to 60 mph comes in a zippy 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph.</p>
<p>Just keep in mind, at the end of the day, the A7 is not a sports car and I really don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s trying to be one. Spending a week with the 2012 Audi A7, I realized that Audi is offering a comfortable, relaxing and quiet ride for those willing to depart with a lot of hard earned cash.</p>
<p>But what about the enthusiasts that still feel a bit unsatisfied? Next year, Audi will answer your call with the new 420-hp twin-turbo V8 <a title="Audi S7" href="../2011/08/31/2012-audi-s7/">S7</a>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-110598 aligncenter" title="2012 Audi A7 Review" src="http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/2012-audia7review-overall-b.jpg" alt="2012 Audi A7 Review" width="627" height="340" /></p>
<h2><strong>Overall</strong>:</h2>
<p>On the topic of hard earned cash, I have only one major warning to give anyone that is considering buying the new 2012 Audi A7. It is easy to look at the base price and get carried away when it comes to adding options when buying this car.</p>
<p>While the price of the A7 starts at a fairly modest $59,250, Audi offers over $20,000 in options, so you could be walking out of the dealership with $83,180 less than you had in your bank account. I do recommend that if you select any options, the $5,900 Bang and Olufsen Sound System is worth every penny&#8230; jus like the car.</p>
<p>For those of you that still feel Stuttgart&#8217;s CLS is a better car, there are only two trim levels in the United States at the moment &#8211; the $71,300 CLS550 and the $94,900 CLS63 AMG &#8211; both of which look very awkward from the back.</p>

<p>The Audi A7 Sportback gets a bit more sport courtesy of Germany&#8217;s Senner Tuning.</p>
<p>On the outside, the 3.0 TDI gets a stainless steel exhaust that ends at twin 3.5 inch tailpipes. The Audi&#8217;s air suspension is dropped 30mm and sits on 20&#215;9.5 inch Varianza TIS rims, cushioned by a set of 275/35/R20 tires.</p>
<p><strong><em>Click here for more news on the <a title="Audi A7" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-a7">Audi A7</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>Under the hood Senner Tuning squeezed out an extra 50-hp on the A7 Sportback, giving it 302-hp at 475 lb-ft of torque. That&#8217;s a pretty nice jump from 242-hp. The car&#8217;s top speed gets a new figure as well, now topping out at 174 mph.</p>

<p>Inventory is becoming an issue for Audi, which set a sales record last year with 101,629 sales in the United States. This year, Audi&#8217;s CEO Rupert Stadler expects sales to increase by 10 to 20 percent and says that the number could pass 150,000 units by 2015.</p>
<p>For that reason, Audi has decided to build a vehicle assembly plant in North America and is considering adding an engine and transmission plant.</p>
<p>Rupert said that Audi is completing details of the plant and that all decisions will be made within three years.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is totally clear that we need new production capacity in the U.S.,&#8221; Stadler said in an interview here. &#8220;The question only is when.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-89968"></span></p>
<p>Audi also wants to double its new-car sales under the brand&#8217;s Strategy 2020 plan.</p>
<p>&#8220;Encouraged by our successful course over the past few years, we want to sell more than 2 million cars a year by 2020,&#8221; Stadler said.</p>
<p>On global scale Audi&#8217;s lineup will increase from 38 models in 2011 to 42 in 2015 and 50 by 2020.</p>

<p>Audi today reported the best first-quarter in the company&#8217;s history after delivering 312,600 vehicles in the first three months of 2011, an increase of 18.4 percent worldwide than the same period in 2010 (264,017).</p>
<p>Audi said it increased revenue in the first quarter of 2011 by 27.3 percent in comparison with the same period last year to €10,514 million (2010: €8,260 million). Audi plans to increase deliveries of the core brand to around 1.2 million vehicles in 2011.</p>
<p>“These earnings show that our qualitative growth strategy is working,” said Axel Strotbek, Member of the Board of Management for Finance and Organization at Audi. Thanks to the strong earnings performance, the 10.6 percent operating return on sales (2010: 5.8 percent) follows on from the good results in the third and fourth quarters of 2010. This strong growth underscores the high profitability of the Audi Group.</p>
<p><span id="more-81296"></span></p>
<p>Audi said that the A8 sedan, A7 sportback and the A1 contributed greatly to making 2010 the strongest year in terms of sales. It said that demand for these models remained high in the first quarter of 2011.</p>

<h3><strong> 2011 Audi A7 | Highlights</strong>:</h3>
<p>While the coupe design of the Audi A7 attracts the eye, the aluminum-hybrid lightweight construction, with aluminum body panels and a steel frame, provides excellent handling, safety and fuel economy. The 3.0L TFSI V6 supercharged engine generates 310 horsepower and is paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission yielding impressive fuel economy ratings (18 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, according to the U.S. EPA, for a combined fuel economy rating of 22 mpg) with quattro all-wheel drive standard.</p>
<p>The A7 delivers excellent performance characteristics with usable functionality. The integrated rear spoiler automatically deploys at higher speeds to achieve maximum down force and improved aerodynamics.</p>
<p>Continuing to take a leadership role in bringing progressive, innovative technologies to our customers, the Audi A7 is available with the latest MMI® technology that provides a user-friendly interface for navigation, audio, phone and vehicle customization functions. In addition, the MMI touch handwriting recognition system allows customers to enter destination or telephone information with the touch of a finger.</p>

<p>For some reason Audi wasn&#8217;t notified of T-Mobile being bought out by AT&amp;T. The automaker announced yesterday that T-Mobile, which is now a part of AT&amp;T, will serve as the U.S. wireless carrier for its Audi Connect systems in the company’s newest Audi luxury vehicle lines.</p>
<p>Starting with the 2012 <a title="Audi A7" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-a7">Audi A7</a> in April, the Audi Connect Service will include voice-activated Google Earth, Google Local Search, and Sirius Traffic information combined with Google Earth imagery. The service will also allow drivers to get real-time news, weather, and fuel prices from other providers.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not all folks. The Audi Connect Service  is also able to turn the vehicle into a secure mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Audi Connect services are enabled with a T-Mobile SIM card that is connected to T-Mobile’s network and is inserted into the advanced Audi MMI Navigation Plus system. To facilitate easy activation, T-Mobile SIM cards will be included with the vehicle, which will allow buyers to sign up for a service plan at the time of vehicle purchase or at any time during or after the six-month complimentary trial period.</p>
<p><span id="more-77168"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;The launch of Audi Connect is part of a foundational strategy to help Audi lead with first-to-market, cutting-edge connected services,“ said Johan de Nysschen, President, Audi of America. &#8220;We’re looking forward to a productivel relationship with T-Mobile USA as we give motorists and passengers the ability to access the most current information and enhance their enjoyment of their Audi vehicle.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following its debut on the 2012 Audi A7, the Audi Connect service will be available on the 2012 <a title="Audi A8" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-a8">Audi A8</a>,  and the 2012 <a title="Audi Q7" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-q7">Audi Q7</a>. It will also make its way into future models like the <a title="Audi Q5 Hybrid" href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-q5-hybrid">Audi Q5 Hybrid</a>.</p>

<p>It was reported earlier this year that <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2011/01/06/report-audi-a9-in-the-works-to-rival-porsche-panamera/">Audi is working on a new coupe-like sedan</a> that would compete with the likes of the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/porsche-panamera">Porsche Panamera</a> and the Mercedes-Benz CL. Known as the Audi A9, the model was reported to be much more advanced than the A7, which was originally thought to be the answer to the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/mercedes-benz-cls">Mercedes-Benz CLS</a> and Porsche Panamera types.</p>
<p>Well, it&#8217;s time to forget everything you know about the A9. According to a new report by <em>AutoBild</em>, the Audi A9 will be a two-door coupe based on the A8 platform and will source its main components from the MLB architecture (Modular Longitudinal Architecture)</p>
<p>Power for the Audi A9 will come from a new 4.0L V8 being developed by the company along with a range of other V6 and V8 units found in the A8 range.</p>
<p>Look out for the Audi A9 sometime in 2014.</p>

<p>Word has it that Audi is considering a coupe-like luxury sedan called the A9. The model will be Audi&#8217;s aim at a high-priced rival to the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/porsche-panamera/">Porsche Panamera</a> and the Mercedes-Benz CL &#8211; as well as the upcoming production version of the<a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/bmw-gran-coupe/"> BMW GranCoupe</a> due in early 2012.</p>
<p>At this point you&#8217;re probably thinking &#8216;isn&#8217;t the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-a7/">A7 Sportback</a> the rival to the Porsche Panamera, Mercedes-Benz CLS and any other four-door coupe by a luxury automaker?&#8217; Well, we actually thought the same thing. Apparently, the A9 will be much more advanced than the A7. The model is also expected to offer a suitable platform for the production version of the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/lamborghini-estoque">Lamborghini Estoque</a> Concept.</p>
<p>“The  project isn’t officially confirmed for production, but work is  progressing on the business case, both at an accountancy and engineering  level,” an Audi insider told <em>AutoCar</em>.</p>
<p>Whatever the case may be &#8211; we&#8217;re sure what exactly Audi is thinking with this since Porsche will soon become the 10th brand to join Volkswagen AG Group. Either way, take it with a grain of salt.</p>

<p>The Audi A7 Sportback is one great looking four-door-coupe; however what&#8217;s better is the possibility of a high-performance Audi RS7.</p>
<p>When the Audi A7 reaches U.S. showrooms next spring, it will only be available with a 300-hp supercharged V6 mated to the company&#8217;s quattro all-wheel-drive system and an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission. Come late next year, Audi will debut a high-performance RS7 powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 making close to 600-hp.</p>
<p>Will it come to the United States. Eventually. We&#8217;re pretty sure Audi will offer RS7 to European buyers first until it makes a &#8216;business case&#8217; for the stateside.</p>

<p>Peter Schwarzenbauer, Audi AG board member for sales and marketing, expects the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-a8">A8</a>, <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-a6">A6</a> and forthcoming <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-a7-sportback/">A7</a> five-door sedan to account for 30 percent of sales in the United States within six or seven years. That&#8217;s up from the current 15 percent. On a global basis, those segments represent 25 percent of Audi&#8217;s sales.</p>
<p>In the United States, three models are expected to fuel that segment including the A8, which will be followed by the A7 next year and a redesigned A6 sedan in 2011&#8230; but Audi&#8217;s not stopping there.</p>
<p>According to <em>Automotive News</em>, Audi is also considering its own version of the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/audi-a5-sportback/">A5 Sportback</a> sedan and a new &#8220;A9 sports car to compete against the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/tag/aston-martin-rapide/">Aston Martin Rapide</a>.&#8221; Now we&#8217;re not sure when/if the A9 will show up but it does sound very exciting.</p>
<p>It was reported yesterday that <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2010/11/15/along-with-a1-audi-considering-more-compact-cars-including-a3-sedan-q3-crossover/">Audi will also get aggressive in the compact segment</a>.</p>
