The Audi S7 remains arguably the sexiest four-door coupe on the market, and for 2016, it only gets better with new styling, more power, and features.
While it’s largely the same as the 2015 model, Audi gives the new A7 and S7 we see here a new front fascia and standard LED headlamps. The rear fascia also gets the plastic surgeon’s noodling and a new LED tail light design as well.
Under the hood, the 2016 Audi S7 gets a 30 horsepower bump for its 4.0 liter turbocharged V8, now up to 450 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. That power flows through an 8-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels courtesy of Quattro for a blistering run from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds so says Audi.
Rolling stock starts with 19-inch wheels standard with optional 20 and 21-inch alloys like on the ones you see here. Several appearance option packages are available to go along with an available sport exhaust system with black tips.
You can also upgrade to a revised sport differential which has new software algorithms Audi says help to vector torque for higher levels of responsiveness and agility than before. Handling upticks come by way of a sport tune for its air suspension.
The interior is largely carryover save for a few trim and color updates. You see rich Valcona leather seats with quilted inserts, a flat bottom steering wheel with shift paddles, aluminum pedals, and carbon fiber finishes.
Those who live for their infotainment systems will not be let down with the next generation MMI interface. It’s got a new suite of Audi connect programs like online traffic, Apple Siri Eyes and Web radio streaming. Last but not least, there also a 4G LTE data connection and in-car Wi-Fi.
Yeah that’s all a mouthful but for some people today, connectivity is as sexy as horsepower and that beautiful body the S7 teases us with mercilously.
