Flat out.

The dealer I used had one... $117K  probably 'cos it had that fancy matt paint finish in battleship grey.  I normally don't like coupé bodies but this one...I agree with Brendan that it is an exceptional car.

Well base is $116k. Nardo grey is one of the standard colors. Not usually a fan of grey but that one looks pretty fantastic.

This article is a must-read. Brendan is a master of prose.

I was at LeMans this year. Audi was there too....



Nardo's almost a clay-grey, isn't it? I've seen it on an R8 V10 before, neat colour.

No spare tire.

Awesome car. The CLS63S is the more likely alternative from Mercedes.

Audi hit it out of the park with the 7s. This sounds like a beast.

What a great article, very well written!! As for the car, the drivetrain is a masterpiece, I think the sweet baby jesus had a hand in the interior and from most angles outside it beautiful and aggressive.....and then you get to that rear 3/4 view and it goes from being Esmeralda to being Quasimodo.....

A spectacular car and an article to match. Well done!

I loved this - “Hang on,” I tell my passenger, “We’re jumping to plaid.”

The ass end of this car is about as attractive as Kristy Alley, bent over...in spandex....to me anyways.

My friend, there wasnt enough vodka in Boris Yeltsin's overnight bag to make that happen

The A7/RS7 is a styling masterpiece.  Thanks for this article!

I would.

In fairness to Fob, there is an angle from the rear 3/4 in flat light where you do blink once or twice and say WTF? There was a white A7 the local airport where I noticed it. Maybe all the coupe/sedans have the same weakness.

Not so dramatic but a tiny bit of this:

...looks good...looks good...woa! What the hell was that?

I've decided I don't much like the hatch profile. Ditto the BMW "gran coup" stuff. It is a bit quasimodo.

The CLS I believe retains a sedan-like thing, the extra turn in the profile that defines the trunk.
