2015 Audi S7 first drive review - Drive

That's the $60,000 question speed-hungry Audi customers will be asking as revitalised versions of its large performance cars go on sale. Powered by a 4. 0-litre V8 twin turbo that kicks out 331kW and 550Nm, the new Audi S7 Sportback and its S6 sedan sibling accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4. 6 seconds. Priced from the same $179,900 plus on-road costs Audi charged last year, the updated S7 benefits from a 22kW rise in power along with tweaks to its stop-start system and cylinder-on-demand technology that help reduce fuel consumption by 0. 3L/100km. A broader grille and crisp new LED headlights form the basis of a new look helped inside by infotainment upgrades and new materials. Sitting near the top of the A7 range, the S7 is fitted as standard with a range of active safety features that include autonomous emergency braking, lane lapsing assistance and updated active cruise control that works between 0 and 240km/h. The standard sport seats of our test model were trimmed in quilted light grey Valcona leather set off by pinstriped interior trim forming a continuous arc from the passenger door to the base of the windscreen and across to the driver's door.
