Of course, Braman Audi isn't surprised in the least. The A7 is a premier example of Audi's aesthetic acumen, transcendent technology and sublime sportiness. The beauty of the achievement is that the reasons the Audi A7 won aren't exclusive to just that model, though it is perhaps the most outstanding example of where they converge. Style, high-tech and attractive athleticism (both in terms of looks and performance) prevail across the entire Audi lineup.
As Jean Jennings, Editor-in-Chief Automobile magazine says, "...the Audi A7 does not represent a dramatic change of pace for its maker. Audi has been building handsome, fast, rewarding luxury cars for some time now. Anchored by Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive, bristling with of-the-movement technologies, and surrounding passengers with an artfully crafted interior, the A7 is exactly in keeping with the cars that this brand has been turning out. It's the culmination of everything Audi has [ever] promised."1
Among the Audi A7 luxury car's features that the
editors at Automobile magazine found particularly
compelling are the force of its supercharged 3-liter V6 engine and 8-speed
transmission and hatched rear, which lends both a fashionable and functional
edge to the car.
