Performance
The adage “good things
come in small packages”
has never been more true.
1 2015 EPA estimates and emissions data not available at time of printing. See www.fueleconomy.gov for updated information. Your mileage and
emissions will vary and depend on several factors, including your driving habits and vehicle condition.
This is how power accelerates.
For us, losing weight has nothing to do with vanity. It’s all about making us stronger and more agile.
By reducing the weight of the chassis and engine, we are able to harness more power more quickly —
and, not incidentally, more eciently.

That means the Audi A7, equipped with the supercharged
3.0-liter TFSI® engine, delivers the potent acceleration of a traditional V8 with the eciency of a V6.

Improved miles per gallon

and more beats per minute? We call that a win-win.
Start-stop eciency system
As an intelligent vehicle system, this highly eec-
tive engine management program can lower fuel
consumption as well as CO

emissions by auto-
matically shutting o your engine while you wait
at a red light or, perhaps, during certain stop-
and-go driving. Once you are ready to resume,
or if other critical vehicle systems require it, the
engine will restart nearly instantaneously.

More twist for power
Modern supercharger rotor-vanes have a 160°
twisted shape for higher pressures and improved
eciency. And by using a four-vane design instead
of a three-vane design, thermal eciency and
air-handling characteristics are improved without
increasing the size of the supercharger unit.

3.0 TFSI V6
The 310-horsepower 3.0-liter TFSI V6 engine is
paired with FSI® direct injection and a belt-driv-
en supercharger that has counter-rotating
four-vane rotors that force air through dual
intercoolers at boosted pressures. It is this
combination of engineering achievements that
allows for nearly instantaneous buildup of 325
lb-ft of torque directly o idle engine speeds.

Eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission
As the perfect compromise between a dedicated manual
and an automatic gearbox, the eight-speed Tiptronic®
automatic transmission in the Audi A7 oers eight opti-
mized, carefully chosen gear ratios. Selected automatically
or via its console-
mounted shifter or steering wheel with
shift
paddles, precise shifts are delivered without sacrific-
ing the smooth action of the Tiptronic® automatic. A high
final drive r
atio allows optimization of lower gears, yet
the transmission’s upper range emphasizes fuel economy—
particularly
at highway speeds.

With eciency comes great power.
Legendary engineering has shifted gears once again. Not content with a heritage of performance,
we’ve developed an even more responsive and ecient way of applying power. Our revolutionary
eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission with Dynamic Shift Program (DSP) helps to enhance
performance while also allowing you to command upshifts or downshifts through the steering
wheel-mounted shift paddles. A new gear has been found—what you do with it is your choice.
Induction technology—TVS supercharger
Compressing the airflow to the engine forces
more air into the cylinder and, ultimately, more
power from each ignition, helping to improve
the engine’s power-to-displacement ratio.
