Audi S7 Sportback 4.0 TFSI qu A tronic Review: The seventh sin

What we like:

Awesome V8 note

sharp and precise steering

super strong brakes

brilliant cabin

can be blindingly fast when you need it to

long list of nannies to make sure you stick onto the tarmac.

What we dislike:

Obvious body movements when taking tight corners

tyre noise audible

high chance of missing speed camera

higher chance of losing your driving license.

So yours truly came back bloody impressed with Audi’s latest hyper S7. It’s properly fast, properly sticky to keep up with the other hyper Germans and best of all, has a cabin that’s a tad more special than a “regular” A7.

This is an engineering brilliance on Audi’s part. It may need some more tweaking in terms of handling (not much, just a little more tightening), but as a whole, it provides a satisfying drive - thanks largely to its tenacity and that V8 tune - and is the sort of car that you look forward to driving day in, day out.

Hence, it gets two thumbs up. And yes, it was damn worth the fighting chance to drive this car.
