Arriving Soon the Elegant 2012 Audi A7

Audi Design

Athletic, elegant and dramatic, the A7 is a five-door coupe with the graceful look of a benchmark luxury sedan. Three simple, but profound lines define the visual drama of the A7. Each contributes to its distinctive and progressive look. The shoulder, or Tornado line, creates tension; it is the artistic line that is essential to defining the A7 as an icon. The dynamic line runs from the bottom bar of the Singleframe® grille along the air inlets and side sills to the tail, creating a sense of forward thrust. And the roofline, with its low, sweeping profile, completes the assertive look, accentuating its shape. When design elements come together on a scale of this magnitude, it elevates engineering to an art form.
