    That's the power figure they actually published first, back in 2008., but now they've got another one.... Audi, seems like, are updating their numbers according to latest offerings from competition! Which is not a big deal with FI engines...

    That is correct.

    Document was from 1.5.2008 and If you look RS5, A8, A7, R8 V10, R8 Spyder, Q5, S4, A1.....etc all info is correct and I'm pretty sure that S7 will get that engive with that power.

    It is also Q3 listed there.

    Do you have link file of their new plan?

    kind Regards

    I have just send the link in the post #36...
    But if you look more carefully, initial hp rate for the A1 1.4TFSI was 170, but we just learned few days ago that it had jumped to 185ps!! So, it is not 100% and it's got updated, presumably by Audi themselves...

    408hp , less than before and also the gap between S and it's rival would disappear as well. Audi might have saved weight but not enough to warrant such a decrease in my opinion, I was expecting 440hp but I suppose when you consider that the 333hp of the S4 is actually closer to 360hp a 408hp might also be a genuine 440hp anyway.

    Very logical move. Note that it's main competitor should be the 550i. If the same figures will be true as on the S4 engine, 500++hp is easily achievable, so it will be Merc's new V8 territory, but much more economical i hope. If it will get the same 8 speed gearbox as the A8, it would be perfect! Though i think S8 needs more, something like new RS6, as there is no RS car in 8's range.
    5 Audis so far...currently:
    2007 Audi A4 B7 2.0 TDI Multitronic

    New S8 for sure will make more, but nothing close to last RS6 though... Something in 500+ range! Might get exactly the same as W12 (500ps) as D3 S8 had exactly the same as its w12 brother (or ''sister'' if you from NA/Canada more like )!

    I agree - there is certainly something fishy about all of this postponing! And our beloved Qisha strangely disappeared as of late... hmm
    We didn't have a proper product introduction since end of November with new A6! And there are so many models we should have already seen rolling by now...

    Hm, I don't know, the A7 just doesn't grow on me.
    A5 Sportback , old and new Merc CLS and even the Panamera are better looking cars, imo.

    From the side it looks superb, back is ok, but the front is just so uninspired.
    Like the designer did it in a bored moot within 5 minutes.

    On the other hand, the front of new A6 looks way better!
    Anyone sharing my opinion?

    Also: Could someone p'shop a new A6 front to a A7 (with front/side angle) to see what it looks like?
    ...
    Think just answered my question myself.

    Sportback Concept had the shape of A7 with headlights of new A6.
    Looks awesome!

    Yeah, the Sportback concept looked better with those headlights and even rear lights were better proportioned as they were slimmer. Having said that, I can't say A7 doesn't look awesome, just as not much as the original concept. They probably thought ''let's take those headlights for the A6 since A7 already looked funky enough with its shape''...
    Also, looks way better than either CLS or Panamera even more! That s-line trim is just bad-ass!

    429 hp. seeing as how it was delayed the power seems adequate, for now. should compete well with the CLS 550 and 550i and panamera 4S. i am most interested in how much it'll weigh.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10
