I careless. I am still ordering that new S7!! Coming Q3 this year. No need for V8 anymore. Newer V6s are more quicker and faster than lazy V8. How I know? I have a 2016 A7 3.0T and a Audi A8L 4.2 V8 and the V8 is so damn slow and sluggish. The V6 with supercharge just flies. I am excited to see how the new 2.9 V6 performs!! Also gets far better MPG.

As a consolation maybe (finally in the US) we will get an RS6 to compliment the RS7. That should have an interesting setup.

I had an interesting conversation with one of the Product Managers from AoA last week. He hinted that while the S7 will be getting the 2.9L V6, that we would probably see the output turned up to 500 HP. The RS7 is expected to start near 620 HP.

500hp definitely changes the conversation. I was intent on keeping my ‘16 S7 for the foreseeable future because I love the V8 and dual clutch. But the 2.9L with 500hp S7 makes the decision harder.
