Drivetrain and Chassis
Power transmission in the Audi S7
Sportback is provided by the dynamic seven-speed S tronic and the quattro
permanent all-wheel drive system with a self-locking center differential and
torque vectoring. The optional sport differential from Audi distributes the
power in variable proportions between the rear wheels.
The S7 Sportback
comes standard with the adaptive air suspension sport and the Audi drive select
dynamics system. Mounted behind the 19-inch wheels are large, internally
ventilated disc brakes front and rear. Their matt black calipers sport S7 logos
up front. Carbon fiber-ceramic discs are available as an option.
Other
chassis options include 19- and 20-inch wheels and dynamic steering, which
varies its ratio as a function of speed.
Equipment
Delivery
of the S7 Sportback is scheduled to begin in spring 2012. Among the standard
equipment highlights are the xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running
lights, the driver information system with color display and the versatile MMI
radio plus audio and operating system. Both information hubs are easy to
operate.
The S7 Sportback can be optionally equipped with all of the
high-end extras of the model series. Moreover, all driver assistance and
infotainment systems are available, including the Bluetooth online car phone
that connects the S7 Sportback with the Internet.
