StarLight Garage presents the new Audi A7 3.0 Sportback TDI Competition, can anyone remember this after reading it for the first time?
Anyway is this the high-performance diesel we are waiting for?
I think so, 326 horsepower are a lot "ponies" to manage.
In celebration of Audi’s 25th anniversary of TDI technology, the automaker has rolled its latest and greatest diesel technology into the A7 Sportback, creating a frugal drinker for the road and a sprinter for the track.
The new A7 Competition fits an upgraded version of Audi’s grunty twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter diesel gets a new set of more aggressive camshafts that boost the power by seven horses, reaching 326 ponies all told. Torque is rated at 479 pound-feet and peaks between 1,400 and 2,800 rpm.
What’s more, the TDI engine also has an auxiliary boost feature that allows for an overboost from the turbo. This gives the engine an additional 20 horsepower for short bursts of time.
Those figures spell out a 0-60 mph sprint in just under 5.1 seconds for the luxury brute.
The turbodiesel is mated to Audi’s eight-speed tiptronic gearbox with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Even with all the extra grunt, the A7 Sportback TDI Competition package is still rated at 38.6 mpg and emits only 260.7 grams per mile of CO2 emissions. On the European cycle, this equates to 6.1 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers and 162 grams per kilometer of CO2. Those are impressive stats, to say the least.
Of course being an Audi, it comes with all the exclusive trim and toys that luxury owners salivate over. The A7’s V6 TDI backs up to an eight-speed automatic gearbox and Quattro all-wheel drive. It ships wearing the S-line bodykit as standard, and sports a ride-height drop of 0.8 inches as well as black 20-inch wheels.
ED headlights and turn signals are standard equipment on this special edition and the new Matrix LED headlights are an option.
