2018 S7
I have a 2013 S7 and have been patiently waiting for the re-design planned for the 2018 model. Saw pics of the 2018 A5 sportback and assume a similar design. If so my excitement rises! The new lines on the A5 are beautiful.
Anyone have have info on the 2018 S7 specs, options ect?

It looks amazing is what i know. Specifics are still a giant secret besides that it's losing 2 cylinders but keeping the turbos.

The new (C8 platform) S7 will appear in calendar year 2018. Whether it gets to the US in 2018, who knows? Most unlikely, I would think.
Those dates given in the US websites linked above are wrong. Although C&D have since updated their estimated dates in more recent articles.
The MY 2018 S7 for NA is the existing C7 platform vehicle. With the 4.0 TT V8. It does appear that in the new C8 model, you will have to stretch to the RS7 if you want the V8.
I'm not sure whether Audi have actually signed off their engine decision yet, although it makes sense to be using the new 3.0 TT V6. This engine is already in the Panamera 4S (and about to appear in the RS5), and performs well. As the new S7 will weigh less than the Panamera 4S, and the engine is likely to have a higher state of tune than in the Porsche, it will be quicker. If that matters.
