Sleek New Audi A7 Sportback Unveiled in Germany

The designers and engineers at Audi have come up with yet another sleek and sexy vehicle to tempt auto enthusiasts. Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler introduced the manufacturer’s new 2011 Audi A7 Sportback in Munich, beautifully designed with long curved lines, a low profile, and a tapered rear which Audi says resembles Italian cars of the 1960′s, but could easily be compared to that of the Porsche Panamera.

The A7 Sportback has a lightweight body with many aluminum components. Audi’s Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system will be standard on the car in the United States. A 7 speed automatic transmission and adaptive air suspension (which can be set for sportyness or for comfort) are some of the other high-tech mechanical features the new Audi model has. A new electromechanical steering system helps the Audi save fuel by not needing to rely on an engine-driven pump for power assist, and also works hand-in-hand with the active lane-assist system.

Under the hood Americans will get a powerful supercharged 3 liter V6, while in Europe 3 different V6 options will be available as well as two TDI diesel engines.

On the inside, the A7 Sportback has a wide variety of standard and optional features including a Multimedia interface system with an 8 inch touch display to control audio, telephone, and other components. The front seats have air ventilation and massage, and the entire cabin is nicely decorated with layered wood inlays. A Bang & Olufsen sound system and internet service make the A7 even more irresistible.

The Audi A7 Sportback will be available in the United States sometime in 2011.
