Check Out This Video of the New Audi S7
Although the 2020 Audi S7 debuted a while back, here’s your chance to see this sculpted, diesel-fueled car in action.
In this video by Auditography, the 2020 Audi S7 cruises around Rudesheim am Rhein, Germany. The sleek sedan is shown in Glacier Metallic White and sports two-tone wheels that compliment its styling. But the video is more than a feast for the eyes — it also treats us to the sound of the S7’s 3.0-liter diesel V6, which delivers 349 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to rocket from 0-62 in 5.1 seconds. However, it’s electronically capped at 155 mph.
While this engine is no slouch, it’s not as beastly as its 4.0-liter V8 gas-powered predecessor. If you miss that feral growl, consider checking out the RS7 Sportback, due out in late 2019 or early 2020.

Keep in mind that the diesel is a European-only offering — drivers elsewhere will receive the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 TFSI with mild hybrid technology instead. It’s designed to deliver efficiency without sacrificing muscle. Based on its specs, it delivers on that promise, putting out 450 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque — without the dreaded turbo lag. This powerhouse will come yoked to an eight-speed automatic transmission and its mild hybrid tech will consist of a lithium-ion battery pack and a 48-volt electrical system.
Of course, when the 2020 Audi S7 hits the US market, you’ll be able to customize it. While Audi hasn’t released a list of options for American drivers, in Germany, it offers a sport differential, four-wheel steering, and carbon-ceramic brakes.
