Default A7 or S7

A7 or S7
I just got the new A7 fully loaded 3 weeks ago and now I just found out that Audi will be coming out with a new S7 later this year. Well my sales rep at the Collection forgot to tell me that untill after I had taken delivery of the car and I'm so disappointed because the A7 it's great but it's underpowered . Wow what a mistake?, I feel sheeted.

The S7 has been general knowledge for many months and the car has been making the rounds of all the major auto shows. Don't blame your dealer - he sold you the only "7" model he will have until later this year, the A7. The S7 is also going to command a pretty steep premium as well. If it was coming with 460+ of HP I would be all over it. I think it's slated for 420HP - not enough in my view.

Yes I do feel like this when you going 60 MPH and you step on the gas it's not that impressive .
Sorry guys I'm not impress with the performance of this car since I own Maserati's, BMW and Mercedez which are much faster, this it's my 1st Audi and don't get me wrong it's a beautiful car with technology ahead of the competition so I think they should-it put at least 380 plus HP. Now!! the new S7 coming out it's something else.

I agree with you that I didn't do my homework but I really wasn't planing to buy an Audi but when I saw-it I felt in love with the car, never the less the dealer should it been honest with me when I asked about any new models or engine coming out, instead they said that the 3.0 engine was new and was going to put on every model from A7 under for the next few years.

Chip it 390 HP and it will be out soon. Or take a big loss on your current A7 and get an S7 for 85K to 90K loaded

OP, I don't think any salesperson in his/her right mind will tell a ready to close A7 buyer to come back at end of the year for his comission.

It was opposite for me, when I first saw the S7 pre-order options posted here last month I went to my local Audi dealer wanting to put my name on the pre-order list for the S7. Only to find out that it was only a list on a note pad so that they can call you when Audi releases the official pre-order list. Rumor has it that this could be June-July time frame, plus 3-4 months build and you're looking at Sept-Oct for delivery. I opted to get the A7 now and enjoy it until the S7 is officially announced. Even in hightsight, I'm glad I that I did this since I would like to see the official spec from Audi & some reviews on the S7 before comitting.
