These days it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find faults with the latest new automobiles. Sure, the heated seats might not warm up as fast I’d like, or the satellite radio cuts out in the shortest of tunnels. Maybe the latest economy car only runs from 0-60 miles per hour in eight seconds, but it still returns over 40 miles per gallon on the highway. We live in a time where almost every new car on the market is a solid choice. Still, not all of those choices are ones that make you take a moment and sample the beautiful lines of said vehicle’s exterior.

That’s not the case with the 2012 Audi A7.

In fact, the A7 is one of the most stunning vehicles available right now. Sure, the Porsche Panamera will blow it away between stoplights, and the Mercedes-Benz CLS is a muscle-car in an Armani tux. Still, those two have nothing on the overall visual ecstasy provided by every angle of the Audi A7.

Lines blend, wrap, slide, and sing over its every inch, and it’s almost more fun to be standing outside of it, than it is to sit behind the wheel. That’s why we’re even more excited to introduce our asses to the upcoming S7.
