2014 Audi S7 Test Drive

From The Driver's Seat - 2014 Audi S7

In a previous test drive video focusing on the Audi A7, I liked it so much that I compared driving it with dancing. I still feel that's a valid observation, but if that's the case, then the S7 is the "Dancing With the Stars" version, muscled up to 420 horsepower but still sleek and smooth and light on its feet. In fact, a comparison popped into my head while I was driving the S7, partially in response to the white leather upholstery stitched in a quilted pattern; my thought was that the S7 drive so well, and the interior is sufficiently luxurious, that if the owner of a Bentley Continental had to take their car in for service and drive a loaner car for a few days, they would be happy driving an S7. Maybe, maybe not, there are wide differences in status and exclusivity, but if it just came down to the sensations experienced while driving, well….

Comparisons aside, the S7 is a stylish performer with an interior that's a high-end blend of luxury and technology, with a dash of practicality in the form of rear seats that fold flat and - in concert with the oversized rear hatch, turn the S7 into a swoopy-looking station wagon. And the S7 isn't even the top of the line for the Audi 7 series; the RS7 has a turbocharged V-8 producing 500 horsepower. At these levels, the S7 and RS7 become a sort of 'supercar' that not only can you drive every day…. you'll want to.
