On Friday, I saw a photo that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! had posted on Twitter !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I had to head down there Saturday morning, before heading into work, knowing that I probably wouldn't get another chance to see it in person. Turned out that I was right, but more on that later.
Although the S7 did not have an Audi Exclusive paint option and you probably couldn't tell what made that S7 exclusive with just a glance from outside. Looking into the S7, you will start to notice the red contrasting diamond stitching on the seats, the Crimson Red seat belts, the matching red leather door panel inlays and on the center console.
All of that, in addition to the exclusive floor mats are part of the "S7 Sport edition" package that adds $10,415.00 to the sticker price. That package, along with the Black Optic, Driver Assistance and Cold Weather packages and a few other options, brought the sticker price of the Phantom Black S7 just north of the $100,000 price point.
Unfortunately for those that wanted to check out the exclusive S7, it was sold on Monday afternoon and headed to its new home.
Additional photos of the exclusive Audi S7, along with other photos from that morning, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I would like to thank !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for letting me roam about and take photos not too soon after they opened for the day.

Must have been bought configured like that from Audi direct. i bet that the dealer was actually kind of pissed about the sale and tried to get a little something out of it for themselves in the way of advertisement.

If that's what you think this post is, then go right ahead. I went down there to take photos of it because I wanted to. I did a write up on my own accord and shared it out for the other Audi enthusiasts.

No dude, I am not dogging on you at all. I just remember my finance manager talking about when he worked at Porsche, when a wealthy customer bought a fully spec'd car from the factory the dealer made almost no money, bu twould use the opportunity to advertise with the buyers car for a short period before delivery.

Thanks for the great write up!

Yeah, I didn't quite interpret the second sentence that way. Either way, just glad to be able to see and shoot an exclusive Audi here and there :)

I am not really an Audi fan, however that booty on the S7 is amazing

The roofline and the booty are the two reasons why I'm really trying to find a way to get into an S7 in a few year's time :)

It is that sweet mix of saloon and touring models. But I do HATE the placement of the engine, it looks wrong.

Yeah, that's going to be a limitation due to how Audi prefers to package their AWD system. There are pros and cons when it comes to the setup/layout and effectiveness of the AWD that Audi (and to some extent, Subaru) uses vs what BMW and MB uses.

Thanks! Make me yearn for an S7 even more. Still have to work out a way to afford one ;)

True true, I think for my o=money I might rather get that Volvo V60 polestar wagon.

If Audi of America would bring over the S6 Avant to the US, I would get it over the S7. That said, the V60 Polestar Wagon is absolutely gorgeous in that blue.

After spending some time in this RS7 , I feel all others are inferior.
Edit: Pic keeps getting Kinja'd

Felt the same after having an R8 V10 for a weekend. That said, not everyone is lucky enough to get to spend time in, much less behind the wheels of, an RS 7. If I had the means, I would love to pick up an RS 7.

I have an '11 S4 and drove an S7 this summer... the interior is fantastic but performance wise I didn't feel too different from mine performance wise. Such a large car!

I am very lucky...I've been blessed to have been behind the wheel of some spectacular and unique vehicles.

It is a larger car for sure, which I am kind of wanting as I'd like a car that I can use to haul some of my photography equipment around in, plus have some room for people for shoots. Not doable in the S5 and things get very tight in an S4. I don't want a crossover, so it's the A7 family for me.

You should do a CPO 'S7

It's an option that I'm considering. That said, I would want a refreshed S7 with the new headlights and the small bump in engine power ;)
