The Audi A7, like it’s name, is a model positioned between the Audi A6 and the Audi A8. It is a direct contender for the Mercedes Benz CLS Coupe, part of a new wave of 4-door “coupes”, which are basically normal sedans with a sporty coupe-like rooflike.
It’s expected that the Audi A7 will make it’s first debut to the world at the LA Motor Show this November 2006. There have already been spyshot sightings of the A7 making it’s rounds around the infamous Nurburgring test track. The car is expected to come with 6 engine offerings, both petrol and turbodiesel, with the top of the line having the Lamborghini-derived V10 to be introduced in the Audi R8.
Currently, Mercedes Benz is the only one with a four-door coupe car on the market. There are no competitors. This has sent companies like Jaguar and Volkswagen to develop their own four-door coupe competitors as well. Jaguar is developing an XJ replacement, and Volkswagen is developing a Passat-based coupe.

finally…thanx paul…good job frm u…
really gorgeous….better than cls and makes the cls looks like orang tue…based on the impression…the profile look like the a6..but pretty than the a6…
4 door coupe..?..how about head room for rear passangers..enough space or not…
ya…maybe the rear passenger lose headroom and legroom…like merc cls…hv to sacrifice 37mm of headroom cause of the sloping roof dsg…btw…to prevent the passenger's head frm touching the sloping roof…the rear seat had to moved fwd a bit…mabe it is same like this a7 i think…
* slurps *
looks too much like a mazda 6 to me… at least the front lights..

to be fair though, i've never been a fan of audi (except the TT) so maybe i'm biased :D
Well, most Audi's car's lines are not bad for me… but just look almost the same… hmmm…. as contender for CLS, I think I like CLS's design more..
If it were to be alive (aka CARS)… the front grill reminds me of a big mouth to swallow everything in it's path.
Bear in mind that its a 2009 audi a7.. take note of the 2009.. mers might also have stg to replace the cls within that time frame..
The CLS is the more inspiring piece of design. This looks like your average German luxury barge.
i dunnola…IMO…all merc are attractive…but…when other comes out…merc will look outdated like wut happen to e,c,a and others except thier sports model…but cls…now look ugly for me…jz my opinion…
If CLS looks like an inspiring piece of design. then CLS just inspired ah pek and everyone in the old folks home. We sometimes get influence by the branding but Audi's quality and design are actualy not lesser then others.
imagine if this car with the S line???with the lamborghini v10 engine…superb…
if its an 09 model, it should be introduced in 08….thats usually what happens…
what model year was the cls supposed to be in? i think by 09 we can only hope for a facelifted CLS not an all new one..
ok , now dis is beautiful !
I wont deny that this car looks wicked.. but somehow, it tends to lean more towards the conservative end on looks.. mers cls seems to be a little more berserk in styling..
2008.. Thats still abit late.. Haiz.. In that 2 years.. lots of new trends in designing cud emerge i guess..
still on study ma…the design is not confirm yet…around that time porsche..jaguar and alfa romeo will unveiled thier 4 doors coupe to compete with the cls…i think it should b no problem…mabe the cls will look out dated even the facelifted cls…
An audi to make me love again, way better than merc cls
this is a very good car i have nothing to say :)
looking good.
