Audi S7 Black

Audi S7 Rental Los Angeles

Audi's S7 is one of the best-rounded luxury machines on the market. This performance-focused version of the A7 "four-door-coupe" appeals to the left brain with foul weather-taming all-wheel-drive and a spacious cargo area, while also providing driving thrills with a bellowing 420-horsepower V8.

Audi also builds the RS 7, which packs 560 ponies in its corral.

With the A7's slinky sheetmetal as a starting point, the S7 adds a deeper front bumper, a more menacing grille, and a rear diffuser that houses a quartet of purposeful-looking exhaust pipes. Sporty 19-inch aluminum wheels and aluminum side mirror covers complete the treatment.

There's more substantial upgrades to be found in the engine bay, where The A7's supercharged six is replaced by a potent twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. It produces 450 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, enough to propel the S7 from zero-to-60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
