Default beautiful audi pic i came across...

whenever i'm out and see a car i like, i snap a pic. was looking through some old photos and came across this audi (s7?). to me it is gorgeous. if they made an electric car look like this that would be something. i know the hood doesn't need to be that long on an ev, but it could have a frunk of course.

That's an A7. This was Audi's design heyday in my opinion. All of their vehicles have gotten uglier since.

They already do! It's a normal car but uses batteries instead of gas

Only issue is that it's about 2x the price of an A7 and about the same performance potential. A V6 A7 with 10k in work will tie it

A7 styling is timeless and has aged really well. Great interiors too. I had a 2016 A6 and wished that I had opted for a 7.

Never been a fan of this Audi. Plus, doesn't that Audi have one of the front overhangs that you really dislike?


My favourite Audi is by far the A6 . I think is like the perfect size car for the outside, but unfortunately the interior is far too touchscreen. and the faux exhaust vents are bewildering for this class of car.

All Audis have a little of the FWD front overhang, but not a ton.

Here is a picture of my 2016 A6. It's the only one I could find. I think I lost some others that were better. I might have got another one, but I couldn't get over the fake exhaust tips. I think they started with the 2019's.

Astonishing they installed those fake exhausts. Even worse on the A8

While shopping I read a lot of reviews and I don't think I saw one that was positive regarding the fake exhausts.

The A7-S7-RS7 has a nice body style to my eyes.
