Audi A7 : Best picture

The Mercedes CLS-rivalling Audi A7 coupé has finally broken cover – and with its curving roofline and sleek silhouette, it promises to be one of the most dramatically styled models in its class.

These exclusive images have been developed from the latest on-the-road spy shots of the car, which is currently being road tested in locations in both Europe and the US.

They show the newcomer mimics the basic proportions of its Mercedes rival, with the cockpit space stretching the length of the car and tailing off towards the rear. However, the Audi looks a lot more imposing and aggressive.
