Veery interesting! So they updated the S6/7 output since last year...

[RXBG]

i think they updated all these motors and what we'll see will be very competitive. A7 3.0T made 0-60 in 5.3 in motor trend. S7 will easily hit 4.5.

A7 3.0T made 0-60 in 5.3 in motor trend. S7 will easily hit 4.5.

Edmund's Inside Line recently tested the new C7 A6 and was able to record a 0-60 mph, with a one foot rollout, of 4.9 seconds.

that is a sexy car. first A6 i don't have any issues with. 435 hp S6 and 450 plus S7. let's hope they weigh no more than their A6/A7 3.0T counterparts. they might not actually be lighter- but if audi manages to simply keep the same weight the power to weight ratio will be bonkers.

^435/450?!!!!!
So those ETKA leaks from above mean nothing to you?!

I think we are overlooking the spy photos of development vehicles here, Qisha hinted in another S7 thread that all spy photos may not be of the same model.

S7 (White S7):

The numberplates commencing with 'HN' are normally attributes of Quattro gmbh cars? I may be wrong, but the front bumper of the second car (RS7 suspect) does not appear to be close to the S6 bumper at all.

Veery interesting! So they updated the S6/7 output since last year...

First 408PS, now 420PS and by the time it arrives it might be as high as 435-440PS. ;)

I think Audi have just been toying with us all along. In any case it will be a great car that like the ordinary A6 will be better than the competition.
