Audi is celebrating the 25th anniversary of turbo diesel (TDI) technology with a special edition A7 Sportback 3.0 TDI Competition.

Engine Spec

Under the bonnet of the A7 Sportback 3.0 TDI Competition is 3.0 TDI bi-turbo diesel engine which delivers 240 kW combined with a powerful 650 Nm of torque, and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds.

Adjustments in the charging and camshafts have boosted power by an additional 5 kW compared with the standard model, while a boost function additionally grants an extra 15 kW when the driver accelerates in full. Audi also says the dynamic special edition A7 Sportback returns 6.1-litres/100 km of fuel with CO2 emissions of 162 g/km. Those are great figures, considering this is a sporty model.

Exterior features

The car is offered with the S line sport package, which sees the suspension dropped by 20 mm, 20-inch five-spoke W design alloy wheels with black painted sides and are covered in 265/35 tyres complete with 17-inch discs with red brake callipers.

The car is offered in Nardo Grey, Misano Red, Daytona Grey and Sepang Blue body paints which all come with a glossy black package and high-gloss black tailpipe trims. Since it’s based on the recently facelifted A7 Sportback, the special edition comes with matrix LED headlights, MMI Navigation plus and night vision assist.

Interior features

The interior is designed in black with sport seats upholstered in black Valcona leather or lunar silver and decorated with contrasting stitching in Agate Grey or Misano Red. The armrests are also upholstered in leather with contrast stitching, while the inlays consist of aluminium and Beaufort wood in black, and the door sill trims feature “quattro” logos. The shift paddles behind the multifunction sport steering wheel can be used to control the eight-speed tiptronic manually.

Order books are said to open at the beginning of August. South African availability of the model is yet to be confirmed.
