Cardiff By The Sea, California, United States
Please contact me at : venettavnnoboa@britishlions.net .
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.

Audi R8 V10 Plus takes on Ducati Diavel in straight line
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The classic car-versus-motorcycle comparison is put to the test as Autocar pits a 2013 Audi R8 V10 against the Ducati Diavel in a run from 0-150-0 miles per hour. While you might expect the 162-horsepower Ducati weighing just 515 pounds to blow away the 542-horse, 3,500-pound Audi, this particular test measures the acceleration and braking of both high-performance machines.
Drag racing an Audi R8 against a Ducati on a long, flat stretch of concrete sounds fun to us, and Autocar documented the whole test for our viewing pleasure. We don't want to spoil the fun for you, so let's just say that a Volkswagen-owned brand wins. Scroll down to watch the video for yourself.
Refreshed Audi A6 gets ready for Paris debut
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Audi A6 remains a solidly luxurious choice in the deeply competitive executive sedan segment, duking it out with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Lexus GS, among others. Having been on sale since 2011, though, it's starting to become just a tiny bit stale. Cue the refresh.
Expected to make its debut in October at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the long-roof Avant/Allroad variant shown here gives us our first glimpse at some of the tweaks Audi has in store for its A6 range as a whole.
In general, this is pretty standard refresh stuff - new headlights that retain the same general shape as the current car but add a new DRL pattern, while there are also some subtle tweaks to the front fascia. The rear taillights have also been freshened (although as only the A6 sedan is sold in the US, it's likely the taillights we see will be different), and some minor changes have been made to the rear bumper. According to our spies, the cabin and MMI infotainment system could see some tweaks, while the oily bits under the hood could be in for for some minor changes as well.
Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says
Sun, Jun 25 2023Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent. In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
