Audi A7 first spy photos

Following the successful recipe used on the CLS, A7 will be placed, as the name indicates, between the large and the luxury sedans, both in size and pricing. Spy images show a test mule disguised in an Audi A4 body, but the extended wheels and wheel arches can clearly give an impression on the new vehicle sizing. The A7 is most likely to share the same platform with the A6, meaning that they will use the same engine range. Expected are the 3.2 L V6, 4.2 L V8 and larger gasoline engines, but 3.0 L and 4.2 L TDI are very likely. An eventual high-end model is considered to use the 5L V10 from Lamborghini Gallardo.

The TT touch

Design is presumed to be somewhere between the A6 and the new TT, mixing one’s size and elegance with the other’s nerve and aggression. Artist digital assumptions follow this idea including also elements considered fashionable nowadays, like the LED lamps.

A7 should make it’s debut on this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show as a concept and it is being expected as a final product for as soon as 2009.
