Obsession
IMAGINE DEVOTING YOUR LIFE TO BUILDING YOUR MODEL.
When you were a kid, you prob­ably felt quite proud when you completed a model kit. We under­stand. At Audi, it takes countless hours for a single Audi to go from idea to design to roadworthy, and that’s time we are very proud to devote. Our obsession for detail,
commitment to premium fit and finish and passion for un­paralleled engineering go into every model. It’s the kind of discipline that the word “painstaking” was invented to describe. Not to say it’s a chore—no, assembling an Audi is a labor of love, and it shows every time you sit in one, engage the ignition and nudge the accelerator. Creating an Audi isn’t easy, but the results help define what Audi means to the people who drive one.

By using f ully pressed aluminum doors in the Audi A6, the do or structures were reduced by an astonishing 44 lb compared to the previous m odel.
OUR REPUTATION HINGES ON THE QUALIT Y OF THINGS YOU DON’T SEE.
It’s said that, when one door closes, another one opens. It sounds as if
whoever said it spent some time at an Audi research and development facility. After all, while you’ll open and close the door on your Audi thousands of times without think­ing about it, we’ve obsessed about it for you, in detail. Not just about the reliability of it opening and
closing, but on the proper weight that will make it more pleasing to close. How the locks should click when they are engaged. The optimal acoustic placement for the speaker port. There are the hinges too, of course. And the door itself, which we designed to take the brunt of side-impact colli­sions, and several dozen other safety considerations (to say nothing of the countless other components, processors, sensors, window features and the inner workings most people will never see). Our doors are more than a symbol of welcoming you into your vehicle, they are products of Audi engineering, and the very perception of Audi hinges on them as much as our hinges help support the door.

When we think of a good idea, it sticks.
Torque vectoring_
By independently braking the inside corner­ing wheels, torque is then transferred to the outside cornering wheels. This intelli­gent application of power, known as torque vectoring, is available on select quattro® models and helps promote neutral handling by calculating the driver’s steering input and desired level of acceleration.

Torque is distributed to all four w heel s in var y­ing amounts_
quattro® HAS MAINTAINED ITS GRIP ON OUR THINKING AND THE ROADS WE TRAVEL.
For more than 30 years, Audi has been focused on quattro® all-wheel drive. During that time, it has evolved into an overarching idea of performance, a technological system of ratios, power delivery and driving dynamics work­ing seamlessly together, orchestrated through the drivetrain, providing power where and when it is needed most. In
many ways, this has been a three-decade drive, from the Alps to the autobahn— and points beyond. You’ve seen quattro® capabilities in the way we dominated the World Rally Championship for years, in the grip you have in inclement weath­er, and in the variable power distribution you enjoy in good conditions.
1
For more than 30 years, and with over five million quattro® systems on the road, we have continued to refine the technology, developing an available rear sport dieren­tial to help maximize performance and available torque vectoring to assist with cornering traction while helping to improve handling. We’ve boldly stuck to what worked while the world was trying to catch up, and we built on it.
Sport dierential _
To help ensure high cornering agility, the available sport dierential uses torque vectoring, and then adds to that by me­chanically applying additional torque to the outside rear cornering wheel. Through an electrohydraulic multiplate clutch pack and gear-set, the outside rear cornering wheel speed is increased by as much as 10%.

FSI®
The FSI direct injection fuel system directly injects fuel into the combustion chambers at precisely managed times and depths. What that means for drivers is that a fully homog­enized intake charge helps increase power while also reducing fuel consumption and emissions, making eciency more powerful.
TFSI®
At Audi, TFSI represents a combination of two of the brand’s core areas of expertise—direct injection and forced induction.

ENGINEERING POWER IS MORE THAN JUST ADDING MUSCLE.
There is an art to fitness. Yes, there are some who go for the massive, sculptured muscle look. But there is something more compelling out there for those with more refined tastes. The kind of sculpted ecien­cy found in Audi engines elevates the driving experience through smaller, finely tuned forced-
induction engines. For the drive to feel lean and precise, we’ve shaved o unwanted pounds. Sure, large numbers might distract some, but a cham­pion impresses with its grace, power and athletic balance—captured in the right suspension setting, or a torque-vectored corner. Audi engineers shape power that celebrates a true dedication to craft. It means strength that pulses at the moment of acceleration, provides a true, quick response as you change lanes, and turns the most routine cloverleaf into a joyful application of performance handling. to the point where others just feel a little flabby.

ELEPHANT SKULL_
Information Provided by:
How nature solved the apparent conundrum of an elephant’s skull didn’t escape the notice of Heinrich Timm, the longtime lead engineer for Audi. The weight of the tusks and the general size of an elephant’s head would seem to make it impossible for the animal to actually be able to carry it. But the design genius behind the elephant’s skull is to make it lightweight yet sturdy. Its predominantly hollow design is buered by thin, connective bone walls, which act as strong, weight-bearing cells. Audi designers used that idea when building our aluminum and steel structures. Reducing weight, yet enabling strength.

THE ELEGANT STRUCTURE OF NATURE BECOMES A BLUEPRINT OF EFFICIENCY.
It seems strange to say that, while we build strong, complex and high-performing machines, we’re naturalists at heart. Then again, it might not be that unusual, seeing how nature itself builds strong, complex and high­machines as well. When we devel­oped the thinking behind our ultra® lightweight technology initiative,

It has to be lightweight, yet capable of carrying a heavy load. It’s porous, but its structure is such that it enhances its stabil­ity and strength. We do the same, for example, with aluminum. Positioned one way, aluminum materials can be flexible. Positioned another, they are strong and rigid, and help give areas (nodes), and flexible along its stem. Our designs allow for both rigidity and flex­ibility where each is most needed, and for eciency overall.

Talking about a better future is easy. After all, how can you be held accountable for something that never arrives? But if you really want to aect it, to make history, you have to do more than talk. Enter e-tron®. It’s not the first plug-in electric hybrid to the market, but we are making it the most forward­thinking Audi ever produced. For example, we will be including a
level2 charger with our A3 Sportback e-tron PHEV for owners who want to drive on electricity as much as possible. We also plan to oer unique sustainable energy oerings like an available solar powered connection to your charger. It’s not just practical, it’s premium too, in style, in performance and in fit and finish, like any other Audi vehicle. The A3 e-tron will be able to take on the average daily commute on electric-only before the ecient 1.4 TFSI® gas engine is needed. more than that, it will be Audi making smart technology smarter, with innovative kinetic-energy-harnessing when you brake, and better per­forming than what came before it. With the Audi e-tron vehicles, we’re saying the future is now.

Inspirations that build an icon.
The alchemy needed to build an automotive icon is elusive. Sure, it’s found, partly, on an assembly line, with committed artisans taking pride in every stitch they oversee. It’s also on a drafting board, sketched by visionaries looking to further expand what we look for in automotive design lines. But it’s also in the countless inspirations, ones little and large, that not only capture a bold thought or striking idea, but execute them. Examples of these can be found in the foundational stories we tell about our company and our vehicles. These stories show how an abstract idea can turn into a powerful, sculpted machine, and then how that machine can help forge an iconic reputation for a brand. Out of the inspirations we fi nd in engineering, art and the large world of ideas, we have created a fearless, iconic company of substance and luxury: Audi.

There’s something to be said for refusing to take the easy route. It keeps life interesting—and unpredictable. You can see this expressed boldly in the Audi A7. Its captivating lines and striking silhouette convey a clear message: design isn’t characterized by convention here. Take notice of the signature Singleframe® grille and sloping roofline. Together they speak volumes about our aection for timeless style. But there’s more to this storyline than just attractive sheet metal. An extensive list of advanced technologies—MMI® touch, Google Earth™ imagery, and an embedded Wi-Fi® hotspot for passenger use, to name just a few, are taking the automobile far into the 21st century.1 And when it comes to perfor­mance, you can rest assured that the 310-hp supercharged TFSI® V6 engine and legendary quattro® all-wheel drive will lay to rest any notion that this car will ever sit on the sidelines.

It’s easy to see that a character can make or break a story, that’s why every line on the Audi A7 tells a very compelling tale. But perhaps its most brilliant line is some­thing we call the Tornado line. Bisecting the body profile, it runs strongly through the middle of the vehicle to give it a bold, progressive stance that tells the world that there’s pedigree here, but not a predictable one. It’s the kind of crafted line that makes a character memorable.

don’t plan on breaking it?
We think the best way to honor great design is to shatter its conventions completely. This was our mindset when we set out to create the Audi A7. Audi designers were given a blank canvas, and the typical constraints of design were lifted. The result? A sculpted body that was shaped from the ground up instead of molded by conventional, top-down thinking. You see the dierence in every curve of the A7. Each line, slope and angle represents a novel approach to design, giving style a muscular profile—and muscle a sleek side. Think of driving one as art appreciation in its most dynamic form.

Whoever said being practical can’t turn heads hasn’t sat inside an Audi A7. Our innovative design team rewrote the rules for interior appointments and built style with purpose in mind. With luxurious materials and eight-way power front seats and four-zone automatic climate control, you literally create a unique cabin environment tailored to the moment at hand. Just consider its split folding 60/40 rear seatbacks and cavernous cargo space as more proof of this. This is true for the smallest details too, like an available heated steering wheel, or heated and available ventilated front seats that help keep you focused on how much you love every moment in here.
Cargo capacity
With 24.5 cu ft of cargo capacity with the seatbacks in place, you’d be forgiven for thinking the A7 might moonlight as a much larger vehicle. And with all that extra space, you can forget about deciding between bringing an extra golf bag or more clothes. Bring it all.

Torque vectoring
It’s a handling feature so quick that it seems to respond to your impulses instead of your steering input. An evolution of cross-axle lock, this system works within quattro®, utilizing ESC and ABS to help sense traction loss from the inside cornering tire.
A little added confidence
can help powerfully steer
you in the right direction.
There’s an elegant sense of assurance when you are in control. In the case of quattro® all-wheel drive, the elegance is created by a sophisticated system developed by Audi engi­neers to help you with the ability to gain more control when road and weather conditions aren’t their best. Through enhanced grip on twisting mountain roads and powder-dusted streets—to say nothing of the precision you’ll feel in taking corners in perfect conditions— quattro® works with drivers who want peace of mind as much as power. Because it was built and honed to transfer the necessary amount of power to the appropriate wheels when accelerating and turning,2 quattro® helps enhance Audi performance, but the real story just might be how quattro® helps engineer confidence in good drivers.

Torque vectoring distributes power to the outside wheels when turning, helping give you added control in the corners.

The adage “good things come in small packages” has never been more true.
Four-vane w/160° twist Three-vane w/60° twist

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-driv­en 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.
Start-stop eciency system
As an intelligent vehicle system, this highly eec­tive engine management program can lower fuel
2
consumption as well as CO
emissions by auto­matically shutting o your engine while you wait at a red light or, perhaps, during certain stop­and-go driving. Once you are ready to resume, or if other critical vehicle systems require it, the engine will restart nearly instantaneously.

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.

Fuel for thought.
Information Provided by:
We thought you should know: Diesel sports a greater power density than traditional gasoline, which means that a gallon of diesel fuel has about 15% more energy than a comparable amount of gas, and combusts more eciently in the engine. The TDI® clean diesel engine available in the A7 has achieved ultra-low emissions vehicle (Bin-5/ ULEV II) status in all 50 states while producing approximately 17% fewer CO2 emissions than its comparable gasoline-fueled engine.1 And the brainy attributes don’t hide the brawn—in fact, Audi has dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the years with TDI® prototype race cars. With these facts in mind, maybe you are thinking that a TDI® might be your choice—which goes to show that clean diesel really is fuel for thought.

cannot see.
Driver Assistance
We’re solving problems before you even know you have them.
Audi adaptive cruise control with stop & go
Using long-range radar and a camera, the available Audi adaptive cruise control with stop & go helps read the trac conditions and adjusts the speed, helping to bring the vehicle to a full stop before accelerating when trac flow resumes.
Audi strives to constantly up the ante on the driver assistance tools built right into the Audi A7, and they’re all designed to work in tandem with you, wherever you go. Whether it’s available advanced technologies like night vision assistant that uses infrared technology to help detect pedestrians, or radar sensors that Audi side assist utilizes to help inform you of vehicles approaching from the side and rear, you’ll find that we’ve developed them to work together to help keep you aware of your sur­roundings. The whole suite of available driver assistance features can be found in the A7. It’s another testament to the eort Audi puts into helping ensure that you’re not the only one keeping an eye on the road.
Audi pre sense® plus
The available Audi pre sense plus oers comprehensive driving assistance with sensors in the front, side and rear. After visual, physical and aural collision warnings, there are four distinct phases for automatic preparation for the unavoidable: an upsurge of brake pressure, safety belt pretensioning, partial braking, and sunroof and window preparation. In severe cases, Audi pre sense plus will engage full braking and deceleration.
Audi active lane assist
Operating at speeds above 38 mph, this available sys­tem helps detect when the vehicle begins to leave the lane without signaling. Then, through gentle, corrective steering eorts, it helps the vehicle remain in the lane and vibrates the steering wheel as an additional warning. This way, Audi active lane assist complements the driver’s decision-making process and further solidifies the bond between driver and machine.
The Audi side assist uses radar sensors and two dierent optical warnings to help keep the driver informed about what is approach­ing from hard-to-see angles behind and to the side of the vehicle.
Corner view cameras
Giving you a nearly 360-degree view around the vehicle, the available corner view cameras help make parking easier thanks to combined camera images from the front, rear and sides of the vehicle.
Night vision assistant
Using infrared technology to detect what lies ahead, this available feature uses thermal-imaging technology to help you detect trouble. Pedestrians can be detected over 300 feet in front of the vehicle, while objects can be detected over 900 feet ahead—all shown on the 7" color driver information system.
Head-up display
With easy-to-view, accurate visual information right at eye level, this available feature displays important driv­ing information and even pedestrian-detection warnings when equipped with the optional night vision assistant.
We don’t see safety as an option, or a luxury.

Audi engineers don’t equate strength with size. Big is just big—strong is a more flexible concept. While you may not think about weight savings when it comes to strength, we’d like you to take a second and think again. The aluminum hybrid con­struction developed by Audi engineers is a lightweight and unyielding revolutionary technology that oers an innovative approach to both weight savings and strength. Airbag technology1 is designed to respond dierently based on seat position, and specially constructed crumple zones give way upon impact to help mitigate potential injury in a collision. All of this, combined with the rigidity of laser seam-welded joints that enhance the strength of every Audi we make, helps diminish the impact of an unavoidable event.

Dramatization
ESC and ABS
Computerized technology that works in perfect sync with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps minimize any loss of stability, applying brake pressure to individual wheels and reducing throttle input to help counter oversteer or understeer when the vehicle needs it.
Safety
Working to spread a “bend, don’t break” philosophy.
1 Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy in all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appro­priate for their size and age. 2 This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in a collision. All bags will not inflate simultaneously in real-world collisions, and, if multiple bags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating and will never all be inflated at the same time.
Ten airbags
A full complement of ten airbags

Sound
Information Provided by:
Audi is Latin for “listen,” so you know we take sound very seriously.
Low note on a kick drum
True bass tones are something you feel more than hear, and when a kick drum hits you with a frequency of 52 Hz, you definitely feel it. Knowing this, Audi sound engineers worked to reproduce sounds at this level for an excep-
52 Hz
tionally realistic experience.
High note on a piano
Even at a frequency of 2,093 Hz, the equivalent of the double high C note found on a piano, the sound system clearly and eortlessly reproduces the sound, giving you front row seats to every symphony.
2,093 Hz
Bang & Olufsen® Advanced Sound System
The passion of Bang & Olufsen® matches well with Audi. Just consider the remarkable available Bang & Olufsen® Advanced Sound System. By focusing on design and performance together, it has become the symbol of acoustic perfection. Bang & Olufsen® engineers help to craft meticulously rendered sound through 15 speakers (including two innovative retractable aluminum acoustic lenses) and an impressive 1,300 watts through the sealed speaker cabinets and ICEpower® amp. The result: sound as captivating to your ears as an Audi is on your eyes.
Lend us your ear.
It’s been said that people only hear what they want to. That what they don’t like just goes in one ear and out the other. Well, for those people and everyone else, we oer two sound sys­tems that make every note worthy of your eardrum’s full attention. From perfectly sculpted high notes to a crystal clear mid-range to deep-diving lows, the available BOSE® and Bang and Olufsen® sound systems are a veritable orchestra of engineering that fills the cabin with faithfully rendered, thrilling sound. So whether you’re the type that wants to be soothed by sound or the type that wants to be inspired by it, we promise, if you take a moment to listen, that what you’ll hear will be utterly impossible to ignore.
Singing middle C
At a frequency of around 261 Hz, you’ll find middle C. It is around this frequency that much of the brilliantly orchestrated sound is reproduced by the numerous, strategically placed speakers.
261 Hz
Unlike with high-frequency sounds, the brain cannot detect where low bass frequencies are coming from, making it seem as if the sound is hitting both ears at the same time. Because of this, Bang & Olufsen® sound engineers only had to design one custom-fitted subwoofer to reproduce the kind of deep, cabin-filling bass that brings music to life.
BOSE® Surround Sound System
Hitting the right note on every drive, the available BOSE® Surround Sound System turns your Audi into a 14-speaker powerhouse with the help of innovative sound engineering and optimized speaker placement. Add to that AudioPilot® noise compensation, which helps maintain a consistent volume under varying speeds and road conditions, and you get an acoustic listening environment that rivals any live performance.

1 MMI® navigation plus depends on signals from the worldwide Global Positioning Satellite network. The vehicle’s electrical system and existing wireless and satellite technologies must be available and operating properly for the system to function. The system is designed to provide you with suggested routes in locating addresses, destinations and other points of interest. Changes in street names, construction zones, trac flow, points of interest and other road system changes are beyond the control of Audi of America, Inc. Complete detailed mapping of lanes, roads, streets, toll roads, highways, etc., is not possible, therefore you may encounter discrepancies between the mapping and your actual location. Please rely on your individual judgment in determining whether or not to follow a suggested MMI® navigation plus route.

The details as to how the system works can vary, and Audi owners should consult their owner’s literature or an authorized Audi dealer if they have further questions about the operation of this feature. Please note that Audi warns against leaving the vehicle unattended with the engine running, particularly in enclosed spaces. 6 Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy in all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. 7 High-performance tires are designed for better performance and handling in warm climates. When driving in cold, snowy or icy weather, you should equip your vehicle with four all-season or winter tires, which oer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the Audi-recommended winter or all-season tires specified for your Audi. High-performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling. Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstacles, can cause serious damage to wheels, tires, vehicle body and suspension parts. Be careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped with low-profile tires. Please also remember when making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than others. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. It is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at recommended levels.

Changes in street names, construction zones, trac flow, points of interest and other road system changes are beyond the control of Audi of America, Inc. Complete detailed mapping of lanes, roads, streets, toll roads, highways, etc., is not possible, therefore you may encounter discrepancies between the mapping and your actual location. Please rely on your individual judgment in determining whether or not to follow a suggested MMI® navigation plus route. For mapping updates please see your Audi dealer or call 1-800-FOR-AUDI for details. 2 See the Audi connect® page for important information about Audi connect®. 3 SiriusXM Satellite Radio and SiriusXM Trac subscriptions are sold separately or as a package after trial period and are continuous until you call SiriusXM to cancel.
