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

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) 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07izgzafIwQ 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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KfMY96v_Gc 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi1keWsEjeg 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. |

Audi RS5 test drive ends with potential buyer stealing car
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Two men are wanted in the Houston area tonight after they stole an Audi RS5 from a local dealership. The brazen theft happened in the middle of the business day, when a salesperson stepped away after letting one of the men take the car for a test drive, while the other sat in the (getaway) car. He then swiped the keys and his license before running out to the lot and taking off in the 450-horsepower coupe.
The men drove to the dealership in an plate-less, white Range Rover Sport, and fed the salesperson a fake phone number - it ironically led to a collections firm - along with what is probably a fake name and a fake background, although the dealership does have both men on video. The dealer, Audi West Houston, is offering a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the Audi and the crooks that stole it. Scroll down for the full news report from Houston's CBS-affiliate KHOU 11.
Audi readying 650-hp Sport Quattro Concept for Frankfurt
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Remember Audi's perfectly lovely Quattro Concept from the 2010 Paris Motor Show? Of course you do. The latter-day Ur-Quattro is laser-etched in our brains as well - and not just because Audi was kind enough to offer our man Michael Harley a mountain drive of its seven-figure showcar. At the time, Audi hinted that the coupe might have a showroom future, but the gossip pipeline has long since gone dry, leading us to believe that the car's production hopes had soured.
That 2010 concept was powered by a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine yielding 380 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque, a relatively modest but appropriate engine configuration in light of the Ur-Quattro's five-banger. Given the Quattro Concept's size and specs, it wasn't clear exactly where such a vehicle might fit into the company's lineup, though, as it already already offers the successful A5/S5/RS5 lineup.
Apparently, Audi might have a solution to that conundrum. A new report from Germany's AutoZeitung suggest that the automaker is posed to reveal a production version of the concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September - on the Ur-Quattro's 30th anniversary, no less. Word is that Audi is taking the Quattro Concept upmarket in a big way, with a tuned version of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 from the RS7 churning up in the neighborhood of 650 horsepower. Naturally, all-wheel drive will get all that power to the ground, and new bodywork is expected as well. In addition to the powertrain switch-up, there is talk of extensive use of lightweight materials, including magnesium, carbon fiber and aluminum, with a target weight of under 2,900 pounds. Magnetic ride control suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes are also expected to find their way onto the model. Unsurprisingly, all of that extra equipment is likely to impact the car's bottom line - reports suggest its sticker price could crowd that of the mighty R8 at around $150,000.
Witness the Prologue to Audi's design future [w/videos]
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Audi went Hollywood for its debut of the forward-looking Prologue concept car last night, pulling the silks back at a sprawling LA manse in the hills. The cost-no-object unveiling of the car, as well as its prominent positioning at this year's LA Auto Show, speaks to the importance with which the company views the styling you see here.
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, maharishi of development for the three-rings brand, made two important announcements at the presentation: reiterating publicly his endorsement of new styling chief Marc Lichte, and telling us that Prologue design will be found on upcoming production versions of the A6, A7 and A8.
Take a close look at that imposing face on the Prologue - an amped up revision of the single-frame shield grille that has appeared on new models like the TT already - and get used to it. Lichte called out the grille as the new face of the brand, so we fully expect its deployment across the range as the 2016 models roll out.
