HERNDON, Va., August 27, 2012 – The all-new Audi S7 combines thrilling performance, stunning
design, and intelligent technology in a package that further enhances the performance and
styling of Audi’s exciting new A7 five-door coupe.
Performance
The Audi S7 is fitted with the new 4.0 liter TFSI with 420 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. The
twin-turbo V8 accelerates the five-door coupe from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, with a top
speed of 155 mph. Great eciency and nimble performance can be attributed to Audi ultra®
lightweight technology. An aluminum-hybrid construction includes lightweight aluminum
body panels combined with a steel frame.
A number of additional technologies also contribute to the overall eciency of the S7, including
Audi cylinder on demand. The engagement and disengagement of the cylinder on demand
system is virtually undetectable yet delivers great eciency benefits while still having the full
power of the twin-turbo V8 available to the driver. When the V8 deactivates four cylinders under
partial load, active engine mounts counteract vibration while the active noise control system
(ANC) minimizes any undesirable interior noise. Four microphones integrated into the headliner
monitor noise levels in the cabin and actively cancel unwanted sounds via the main speakers and
subwoofer. It is these three systems — Audi cylinder on demand, active engine mounts and ANC
— that work together to combine eciency and refinement.
The power of the twin-turbo V8 is delivered via the dynamic seven-speed S tronic transmission
and quattro permanent all-wheel drive with a self-locking center dierential and torque
vectoring. The grip of the quattro system is enhanced dynamically through the sport dierential,
which actively distributes the power between the rear wheels and enables superior cornering
and acceleration as the driver exits a turn.
