About the Audi S7 C8
The C8-generation Audi S7 marked a significant shift for the European market, replacing the previous V8 petrol engine with a high-torque 3.0-litre V6 TDI. To eliminate turbo lag, Audi equipped the engine with an Electrically Powered Compressor (EPC) and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, ensuring immediate response from low revs. While it lacks the raw soundtrack of its predecessor, it excels as a high-speed cruiser, offering exceptional fuel efficiency and a massive 700 Nm of torque. The interior remains a benchmark for the class, featuring Audi's dual-screen MMI Touch Response system and high-quality materials throughout.

Audi S7 C8 fun facts
- The S7 TDI uses an electric compressor powered by a 48V system to spool up the turbocharger in just 250 milliseconds, virtually eliminating lag.
- While Europe received the diesel V6, North American and Asian markets continued with a 2.9-litre twin-turbo petrol V6.
- The car features four exhaust tips, though in the early C8 models, these were famously 'dummy' trims with the real exhaust pipes hidden behind the bumper.
