Default 2017 A7 Competition

They are starting to hit dealer lots now. Black Optic and sports differential are standard along with a hp increase to 340. This one is Daytona Gray with the Black/ Korso Red interior along with the Piano Black inlays. These come out to be about $8,000 cheaper than a comparably equipped S7.

Not at all impressed... Interior looks good but exterior looks terrible compared to my 206 A7 with 20 inch sports package. I'll pass. My A7 engine has 333 hp and its sufficient.

I like it...a lot. But if you still can't get ventilated seats with the diamond stitching (as is the case on the S7) I would pass. I love those seats but non ventilated seats is a deal breaker for me. Makes no sense to me because on the 8s you can get ventilated seats with the diamond stitching.

BTW, I tried to build an A6 on line the other day and the competition package does not even exist on their site.

The exterior is the same except for the red brake calipers. This one is just sitting high because it hasn't been PDIed yet.

Why am I not seeing this option in the online (USA) configurator?

It looks 'raised' in the picture. Does anyone know of it comes with (standard) air suspension? I thought it didn't but sure looks like it in the pic.

No air suspension, just the standard sport suspension. It looks raised because the shipping blocks are still in it.

Right, thanks! That explains the other pictures I've seen of 17s for sale on web.
