I purchased this car in 2012. I bought this A7 for demo and car show purposes. This vehicle has been featured at
SEMA twice(largest car show in the world). If you google evoklass Audi A7, you can see dozens of pictures that have
spread virally online. All maintenance and factory recalls performed. Just installed a new set of Hankook tires.
The vehicle is still under its factory original 4 years/50,000 mile warranty. The modifications performed include
the following:
- tinted windows
- glossy black vinyl roof
- H&R lowering springs
- 20" Concept One Wheels
- Brand new Hankook tires
- evoklass body kit which includes
- rear carbon fiber replacement rear wing
- carbon fiber side skirts
- carbon fiber rear diffuser with glossy black exhaust tips and third brake lamp
- front lip spoiler
It goes without saying that this car is a stunner! It turns heads everywhere it is seen.
Model Overview
For 2012, the Audi A7 is only offered in 3.0 quattro form, which includes a 310-horsepower, 3.0L direct-injection
supercharged V6. With a belt-driven supercharger, it sounds like a well-mannered luxury car most of the time, yet
it also produces a V8-like 325 pound-feet of torque.An 8-speed automatic transmission includes Tiptronic manual
controls for those who'd rather command the shifts themselves, and most of the time it responds well, with prompt,
decisive downshifts in fast driving or smooth, well-masked upshifts in gentle driving. Fuel economy ratings are a
bit better than a V8, at 18 mpg city, 28 highway, while the A7 can get to 60 mph in a quick 5.4 seconds, according
to Audi. All A7 models include the latest, performance, oriented version of Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system,
which during normal driving sends about 60 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels but can send more to
whichever wheels can best use the traction. The system even aids stable handling near the limit on curvy roads by
employing the stability control system and judiciously applying the brakes to one or more wheels. It's enjoyable to
hustle down curvy roads, thanks to a variable-boost electromechanical steering system plus a 5-link front
suspension and trapezoidal-link rear suspension that rides somewhat firmly but is just compliant enough for comfort
on choppy urban streets.To make it all a little more useful and enjoyable there's a system called Audi drive
select, which includes four modes: comfort, auto, dynamic and individual, to cater the feel of the steering, shift
points for the transmission and the way the throttle responds, all to meet certain driving styles.The beautiful
cabin is one of the most stylish on the market, but it's no fashion victim. You get firm, supportive seats and a
back seat that's usable even by taller adults, thanks to a carved out area of the headliner allowing just a couple
inches of extra head space. The rear hatch also allows more space than a trunk would--24.5 cubic feet even with the
rear seats up in place. Those back seats do fold down when needed, and there's a large trunk pass-through for skis
and such.Inside, the A7 is a luxury car in every detail. There are two different leather upholsteries (Milano or
Valcona) offered, both soft and rich. Ash wood veneers are included, or dark brown walnut and brushed aluminum
trims are optional, all with chromed bezels and aluminum-like accents--providing some combinations that look
stunning either in light or dark themes.The A7 also includes 3D Google Earth mapping for the navigation system,
which allows you to see topography and terrain in addition to the tops of trees and rooftops of buildings. Other
standout navigation features include Google Voice Local Search that will listen to keywords and return potential
local destinations. Audi Connect allows the A7 to become a wireless hot spot that's capable of simultaneously
hooking up to eight WiFi-enabled devices to the Internet. Wrapping it all together is a new version of Audi's
touch-screen-based MMI (Multi-Media Interface) that includes a rotary button/knob as well as hot buttons for some
commonly accessed functions. There's also one Audi exclusive: a scratch pad (called MMI touch) that allows the user
to draw out letters to quickly enter navigation destinations or other inputs. Among the top options offered on the
A7 are a 14-speaker Bose sound system or, for audiophiles who want the best, a Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound system
with 15 speakers and 1,300 watts of amplifier power.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"

Audi UK in hot water over dealer safety claims

Wed, 14 May 2014

Car salesmen don't exactly have a reputation for being in the most truthful profession, and it appears that several Audi showrooms in the UK are playing into that stereotype. A BBC investigation found that multiple dealers told buyers that the company's models scored well in Euro NCAP crash tests. No big deal, right? The problem was that the vehicles were never actually evaluated.
The report began after an R8 buyer sent in a tip that his UK dealer claimed the sports car had received top Euro NCAP scores. However, it has never been tested by the organization. The BBC called 10 dealers inquiring about the A5 (pictured above), which also wasn't assessed. Nine said the coupe had been checked out, and six claimed it had a five-star rating - the best available.
Euro NCAP is funded by governments and motoring bodies, like the ADAC in Germany and the FIA. According to its website, the organization selects some of the most popular new models each year to crash test, and, the BBC claims, automakers can also pay to evaluate their cars. The last Audi tested was the A3 in 2012. The A6, Q3, A1, A4 and Q5 have also been tested since 2009, and they all received five-star ratings. However, the A5, A7, A8 and R8 have not been tested.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
