Default Spied: Audi A7


Audi is testing this "quad coupe" that is expected to be called A7. Expect it in late 2009.


This future Audi A7 is expected to give the Mercedes-Benz CLS some strong competition.


The A7 is believed to share its mechanicals with the next-generation A6 sedan.

INGOLSTADT, Germany — Audi is readying a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz CLS, a luxurious "quad coupe" that is expected to carry the A7 badge.

Due out in late 2009, the early A7 prototypes already are undergoing pre-production testing, both in northern Scandinavia and on Audi's home turf in Bavaria.

Under the skin, the A7 will share mechanicals with the next-generation A6 sedan, including multilink suspension and all-wheel drive.

Engine choices are likely to include 3.0-liter V6 and 4.2-liter V8 gas engines, as well as two TDIs — a 2.7-liter V6 and a 4.2-liter V8.

What this means to you: Look for the A7 to be slotted in price just below the A8 flagship. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent

I agree with you! The car looks great but the flame surfacing is a bit too pronounced for my sensibility. Tone that down and its a huge win in my book.

That is a really sleek rendering, I hope it looks like that, rear end resembles R8 design.
