From the Driver's Seat - Audi A7 3.0T

The Audi A7 is one of those cars that catch your eye as it drives by; the styling is clean, sharp and just different enough to make it stand out from everything else on the road.  You want to believe that it will drive as good as it looks and, if you take the time to head down to Braman Audi for a test drive, you'll find that it does.  This is one of those rare cars with a combination of style, substance and effortless power that makes driving a genuine pleasure.

And the pleasure starts early - even the key fob feels rich and smooth, and impression that are amplified when you climb behind the wheel.  The styling of the interior is beautiful and immaculately detailed; everywhere you look you see taste and craftsmanship.  Nor is it all just a feast for the eyes - the optional leather sport seats are fantastically comfortable, and the sport steering wheel with the shifter paddles feels like it was molded specifically for your hands.

Our A7 3.0T test car came equipped with a 301 horsepower, supercharged, 3.0-liter engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, a combination that produces power so smoothly, so effortlessly, that it feels like there might be an electric motor under the hood.

The ride is as smooth as the acceleration, and when it comes to the curves, the upgraded brakes, sport-tuned suspension and Quattro all-wheel drive make any corner feel like you just executed a smooth move on the dance floor with a willing and expert partner.  It's not a conventional way to describe how driving a car feels, but the 2014 Audi A7 really is so smooth and precisely responsive that it feels like you and the car are dancing.

And the full range of Audi's advanced technology is available to help deal with the real-world aspects of driving; anything from a Bang and Olufsen audio system to night vision, blind spot warning and a lane-departure warning system that will steer you back on the straight and narrow if it detects that you're nodding off.  And then there's this enormous trunk that, with the rear seats folded down, turns the A7 into an extremely stylish station wagon with a ton of cargo space.

The 2014 Audi A7 comes in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. All A7 models are powered by a 310-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6 mated to an 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and using Audi's quattro all-wheel drive. EPA fuel economy ratings are 18/28 mpg city/highway.

New for 2014, the highly-anticipated Audi RS 7- which debuted at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit - is the most powerful RS model ever offered in the U.S.  Powered by a twin-turbo 4.0 TFSI V8 engine that produces an astounding 560 horsepower, the RS 7 accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.  Also new for the 2014 Model Year, the Audi A7 TDI is the first five-door clean diesel coupe. The A7 TDI achieves an impressive EPA estimated fuel economy of 24 city/ 38 highway/ 29 combined MPG. At the same time, the 6-cylinder clean diesel engine with quattro® all-wheel drive and 8-speed Tiptronic ® transmission produces 240 hp and 428 lb-ft torque, completing the 0-60 MPH sprint in 5.5 seconds.
