For sale a BEAUTIFUL Audi A7 2012, reason for the sale I got another toy so I have to let this beauty go, Window sticker 70,030 plus the car has 5,500 in upgrades. that include. $2,300 for the AWE exhaust with black diamond tips (cat back so no problems with emissions) and several VAG COM mods that I liked, you can customize different options, for example I like the needle sweep when I start the car, LED stays on with turning lights, LEDS doesn't dim with the headlights, closing/opening the trunk with the remote, Video In Motion (the DVD is viewable while driving for the passengers enjoyment), front side markers cancelled, etc. If you are familiar with Audi performance numbers, you know Audi underrate their cars in an average of 12-13%, when you put them in a dyno, the numbers are higher than advertised, this car stock is really around 350hp (we tested it), with the modifications you get around 110hp more, so this car has around 460hp. Another reason for this, is marketing, Audi uses the same engine in different models but in order to sell the most expensive one, it underrates the power of the cheaper, a perfect example of this is the S7 vs the RS7, they share basically the same engine, but the RS7 is advertised with 560hp vs 420hp of the S7. In reality a S7 has around 480hp but who would buy a RS7 if you can get basically the same car for 30k less, same with the S8 it is advertised at 520hp and Motor Trend got almost 600hp in their test. This car is FAST, the modifications exploited the real power of the V6 3.0T without causing extra stress to the engine nor the transmission (the tiptronic is a ZF 8hp55a capable of a max of 480flbs) , the car has never used in drag racing nor anything like that, I just wanted to have the real power of the engine at the disposal of my right foot. BUT I did use an app to test the car and I got the following numbers 0-60mph 4.13s, 0-100mph 9.56s, 1/4 mile 12.47s @114.91mph (pics attached) This is a video of a stage 2 Audi S4 vs Mercedes CLS63 AMG, the A7 is heavier but still you can have an idea of the power of the GIAC Stage 2 tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07izgzafIwQ I am not by any means a "fast and furious" type of guy, but I am a car enthusiast and I like that cars drive optimally, the mods are based in good taste and towards improving performance and fun to drive, the car is a sleeper, you cannot tell of the car's potential until you drive it, the only visual difference against a stock one is the Eibach springs drop and the AWE exhaust tips (the very last picture shows a wheel before the drop, so you can compare vs the others) the V6 3.0T supercharged engine is one of the best engines that Audi has produced, this video shows how a tuned S4 goes against a RS4, and this is one in particular is just a Stage 1 , the Stage 2 along with the intake and the exhaust is even faster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KfMY96v_Gc why de-tune an engine instead of getting the most out of it? simple, marketing, just like the S7 vs RS7 example, who would pay more for a RS4 if the S4 is as fast with a proper tune, but Audi is not the only one who does this, Mercedes did it with the C63 AMG, the first generation of this car was detuned 67 hp less than the older "brothers" E, CL, CLS, S, it is not good marketing to have the cheapest of the line to outrun the flagship of the brand. The AWE exhaust is one of the most beautiful sounds, it sounds like a throaty V8, no cabin drone, no excessive noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi1keWsEjeg This car is as fast as a S7 but more nimble because it is lighter, and at 155mph you can say goodbye to the S7 because the car is not limited (speed governor removed) (the A7 stock is limited at 130mph) Besides all the modifications the car is 100% street legal and emissions in CA, no problems with smog testing nor anything (although is not required until 2018) the car is under warranty, no TD1 code nor anything like that, the car is serviced at the Audi dealer all the time and they are aware of the modifications with no problem. I can strip the car of all the extra equipment and put it back to stock, but I really think somebody can enjoy this car as it is and get all the extra equipment for a fraction of the cost, if you drive this car you will fall in love with it. Writing this ad I am getting more and more sellers remorse, but it is not fair for the car to be parked there, I have other 3 vehicles and I will not be using it that often. The car is paid and clear title in hand, I know the asking price is a little above what other A7s are selling, but the upgrades are worth it, serious and fair offers will be considered, low ballers please do not waste my time and I will not waste yours, this car is meant for a final car enthusiast not for a dealer to make money out of it, I reserve the right to withdraw the ad at any time if I change my mind about selling it. The car comes with all the stock parts, and a pair of two extra yokohama sport tires that I never installed. Please feel free to ask me anything I will gladly answer your questions. Happy new year. |

Volkswagen may soon have remedy for more cheating diesels
Tue, May 10 2016Nearly a half-million motorists who own Volkswagens equipped with 2.0-liter engines have known for a few weeks the company might wind up buying back their vehicles as part of a settlement surrounding the company's emissions cheating. But about 85,000 drivers who own similarly afflicted diesels with 3.0-liter engines have been stuck without a remedy. They may not be waiting much longer. Bloomberg reports that Volkswagen will soon propose a fix for vehicles, including those from Audi and Porsche, equipped with 3.0-liter engines that will include new software and a new catalytic converter for the vehicles. Discussions with federal regulators are ongoing, according to the news outlet. "We are cooperating with the regulatory agencies and working with them on an approved solution," says Audi spokesperson Mark Clothier. "Beyond that, we cannot comment on ongoing investigations." Regulators have alleged that the company's 3.0-liter engines contain "defeat devices," illegal software that allows a vehicle to detect when it's undergoing an emissions test and turn off pollution control during real-world driving. The defeat device allows these vehicles to increase emissions of nitrogen oxide up to nine times the Environmental Protection Agency's allowable threshold. Affected 3.0-liter vehicles include the 2014 Volkswagen Toureg, 2015 Porsche Cayenne and the 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L and Q5. Volkswagen is slated to finalize its plans for buying back the afflicted 2.0-liter cars and potentially offer those motorists "substantial compensation" for their troubles by June 21, and it's possible that a formal announcement on the 3.0-liter vehicles would come at the same time.

Audi spending an additional $2.5 billion on expansion through 2019
Thu, Jan 1 2015Every year, it seems the Volkswagen Group announces a new and larger spend to push growth and profit, with Audi a regular recipient of the moolah. That's reasonable, seeing as hauls in 40 percent of Group operating profits. In December last year Audi said it would spend an additional 100 million euros ($122M US) per year through 2018 to develop new models and expand production, targeting 60 models by 2020 and luxury sales leadership. This month Audi said it will boost that by another two billion euros ($2.5B US) over the next five years, for a total outlay of 24 billion euros from 2014 to 2019. Something like 70 percent of those billions will be spent on new models, technology like "connectivity and lightweight construction," and factory expansion at its plants in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Most of the ten models that will plump the lineup to 60 cars will mainly be aimed at the C and D segments, as well as crossovers, the brand's burgeoning portfolio of PHEV models, and all-electric cars that will begin staking ground in the segment. The big spend comes at the same time as Audi is working hard to reduce costs by $2.5 billion to maintain profitability, part of a larger push by VW to cut costs by $6.1 billion by 2017. More than a billion euros will go to new factories in Mexico and Brazil. Work begins on the Mexico plant next year, and when it comes on-line in 2016, Audi's Q5 successor will roll out of its warehouse doors; Audi has already announced it will hire 850 more workers next year in Mexico. When that's done, Mexico's production of German luxury cars will only trail that of Germany, China and the US. The company's Brazil plant will produce the A3 and S3 starting next year, and the brand figures luxury car buying there will triple by 2017.

Bentley testing new SUV in Audi Q7's clothes
Thu, 22 May 2014Sure, this looks largely like an Audi Q7. What if we told you, though, that it was actually a Bentley? This may be one of the very first sets of images we've seen of the aristocratic brand's SUV. Based on the borrowed Audi bodywork, however, testing appears to be in the early stages.
While it may look like an Audi Q7, there are a number of giveaways. One of the more subtle are the British number plates, in place of the traditional German plates that would be found were this a mule for the next Q7. Other changes are more noticeable. According to our spies, this mule is much wider, while its fenders have also been enlarged to accommodate larger wheels and tires.
Out back, four exhaust pipes jut out from the lower fascia, while larger brakes are hidden behind black wheels. The big indicator that this is something special, though, can be seen in the front fascia. The heavily modified front clip is home to two massive intakes below the headlights. According to our spies, these conceal a pair of intercoolers. Whether they are for Bentley (and Audi's) twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 or the 6.0-liter W12 is unclear.
