2017 Audi A7 S Line:
The Audi A7 lineup retains the sporty S7 and high-power RS 7 for 2017, but adds a new, even more potent RS 7 Performance trim with 605 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. All A7s now get a Bose audio system and 19-inch five-spoke V-design wheels standard. The A7 3.0T Competition is also new this year, bridging the gap between the A7 and S7 models. S7 Models get a new Premium Plus trim level, and now have an optional Black Optic package for a more aggressive look. Overview: With the 2017 Audi A7 focusing more on performance and luxury than the equivalent A6, the A7’s engine lineup is much less diverse, and generally much more powerful. Currently there are two different engine options on the A7 lineup in varying states of tune. Each engine is backed up with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The A7’s base engine is a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 that makes 333 hp in standard form, or 340 hp with the new-for-2017 A7 Competition Package. Torque stays at 325 lb-ft regardless of the horsepower output. The V-6-powered A7 is EPA-rated at 21/29/24 mpg city/highway/combined. The S7’s engine is more powerful still; it’s a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 that produces 450 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. The RS 7 shares that 4.0-liter V-8 with the S7, but gets 560 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque in standard trim, or a whopping 605 hp and 553 lb-ft in top-of-the-line RS 7 Performance trim. Fuel economy isn’t the point of the high-performance variants of the A7, but the EPA rates them nonetheless. The S7 nets an EPA-rated 17/27/21 mpg, while the RS 7 achieves 15/25/18 mpg. Aside from the variety of power outputs, the entire A7 line is notable for its sleek, edgy sheetmetal, gorgeously crafted interior, and technology, including Google Maps...

2018 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo:
The new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo combines the long-distance comfort of a luxury sedan with the aesthetic appeal of a coupe. Its design embodies a rigorous process of development which has elevated both the functional strengths of this body concept and the car's sense of sporting elegance to new heights. A generously-sized, flexible-use interior, striking looks, supreme ride comfort and a luxurious feeling of space are among the features that made the BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo - the new car's predecessor and the first of its kind - unique. These attributes have been honed to a new level for the new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo and are complemented by stretched proportions, significantly more dynamic lines and a muscular surface treatment. The car's new model designation reflects this progress. "The new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo is geared towards discerning customers who place great importance on individuality. It is an eye-catching statement, packaged into a flowing, sculptural design language which gives the car a modern and sporty feel. The raised seating position ensures an imperious brand of driving pleasure, and the luxurious levels of space provide everything you need for a relaxing journey," says Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. Dynamically stretched proportions are a passport to sporting elegance: An exterior length of 5,091 millimetres (an increase of 87 millimetres on its predecessor), an unchanged width of 1,902 millimetres and a reduction in height of 21 millimetres (to 1,538 millimetres) give the new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo dynamically stretched proportions. In combination with a roofline that flows deep into the rear end, they ensure an elegantly sporty appearance. Thanks to exhaustive optimisation of the cabin's packaging, the interior actually offers greater headroom despite the lower vehicle height. Among the other characteristic features of the new BMW 6-Series Gran Turismo are its long bonnet, the set-back positioning of the cabin, a wheelbase of 3,070 millimetres, doors with frameless windows, and a slim window graphic extending well into the rear end...
