Audi A7 Prestige 460hp, 5.5k In Upgrades, Full Led, Side Assist, 20'' Wheels on 2040-cars

For sale a BEAUTIFUL Audi A7 2012, reason for the sale I got another toy so I have to let this beauty go, Window sticker 70,030 plus the car has 5,500 in upgrades. that include.

$2,300 for the AWE exhaust with black diamond tips (cat back so no problems with emissions)
$750 for the Eibach springs (the car handles so much better and it dropped around an inch, subtle but sporty, no rubbing, no curb scratching)
$250 for the Injen Intake (in combination with the exhaust the tune is getting the max out of it)
$1,500 for the GIAC stage 1 (+65hp) comes with a handheld to switch between valet, 91 octane and 100 octane fuel
$700 for the GIAC stage 2 (+110hp in combination with stage 1 gains) it is the supercharger pulley upgrade and tune.

and several VAG COM mods that I liked, you can customize different options, for example I like the needle sweep when I start the car, LED stays on with turning lights, LEDS doesn't dim with the headlights, closing/opening the trunk with the remote, Video In Motion (the DVD is viewable while driving for the passengers enjoyment), front side markers cancelled, etc.

If you are familiar with Audi performance numbers, you know Audi underrate their cars in an average of 12-13%, when you put them in a dyno, the numbers are higher than advertised, this car stock is really around 350hp (we tested it), with the modifications you get around 110hp more, so this car has around 460hp.

Another reason for this, is marketing, Audi uses the same engine in different models but in order to sell the most expensive one, it underrates the power of the cheaper, a perfect example of this is the S7 vs the RS7, they share basically the same engine, but the RS7 is advertised with 560hp vs 420hp of the S7.

In reality a S7 has around 480hp but who would buy a RS7 if you can get basically the same car for 30k less, same with the S8 it is advertised at 520hp and Motor Trend got almost 600hp in their test.

This car is FAST, the modifications exploited the real power of the V6 3.0T without causing extra stress to the engine nor the transmission (the tiptronic is a ZF 8hp55a capable of a max of 480flbs) , the car has never used in drag racing nor anything like that, I just wanted to have the real power of the engine at the disposal of my right foot. BUT I did use an app to test the car and I got the following numbers

0-60mph 4.13s, 0-100mph 9.56s, 1/4 mile 12.47s @114.91mph (pics attached)

This is a video of a stage 2 Audi S4 vs  Mercedes CLS63 AMG, the A7 is heavier but still you can have an idea of the power of the GIAC Stage 2 tune.

I am not by any means a "fast and furious" type of guy, but I am a car enthusiast and I like that cars drive optimally, the mods are based in good taste and towards improving performance and fun to drive, the car is a sleeper, you cannot tell of the car's potential until you drive it, the only visual difference against a stock one is the Eibach springs drop and the AWE exhaust tips (the very last picture shows a wheel before the drop, so you can compare vs the others)

the V6 3.0T supercharged engine is one of the best engines that Audi has produced, this video shows how a tuned S4 goes against a RS4, and this is one in particular is just a Stage 1 , the Stage 2 along with the intake and the exhaust is even faster

why de-tune an engine instead of getting the most out of it? simple, marketing, just like the S7 vs RS7 example, who would pay more for a RS4 if the S4 is as fast with a proper tune, but Audi is not the only one who does this, Mercedes did it with the C63 AMG, the first generation of this car was detuned 67 hp less than the older "brothers" E, CL, CLS, S, it is not good marketing to have the cheapest of the line to outrun the flagship of the brand.

The AWE exhaust is one of the most beautiful sounds, it sounds like a throaty V8, no cabin drone, no excessive noise.

This car is as fast as a S7 but more nimble because it is lighter, and at 155mph you can say goodbye to the S7 because the car is not limited (speed governor removed) (the A7 stock is limited at 130mph)

Besides all the modifications the car is 100% street legal and emissions in CA, no problems with smog testing nor anything (although is not required until 2018)

the car is under warranty, no TD1 code nor anything like that, the car is serviced at the Audi dealer all the time and they are aware of the modifications with no problem.

I can strip the car of all the extra equipment and put it back to stock, but I really think somebody can enjoy this car as it is and get all the extra equipment for a fraction of the cost, if you drive this car you will fall in love with it.

Writing this ad I am getting more and more sellers remorse, but it is not fair for the car to be parked there, I have other 3 vehicles and I will not be using it that often.

The car is paid and clear title in hand, I know the asking price is a little above what other A7s are selling, but the upgrades are worth it, serious and fair offers will be considered, low ballers please do not waste my time and I will not waste yours, this car is meant for a final car enthusiast not for a dealer to make money out of it, I reserve the right to withdraw the ad at any time if I change my mind about selling it.

The car comes with all the stock parts, and a pair of two extra yokohama sport tires that I never installed.

Please feel free to ask me anything I will gladly answer your questions.

Happy new year.
