Rumors have stated that a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/06\/audi-sportback-reportedly-due-in-paris-with-580-hp-rs7-range-top\/\">RS7 Sportback<\/a> might debut alongside the A7 in Paris, complete with a 580-horsepower V10, and it would certainly be show-stopping if Audi could pull off having all three variants of the A7 range on hand.<\/p>\n<p>As for the car spied here, we spot larger air intakes, a more robust wheel\/tire package, bigger brakes and quad exhaust pipes, seemingly proving that this A7 will definitely arrive wearing an S badge. However, the camouflaged beast isn&#8217;t as muscular as Audi&#8217;s RS models, which leads us to believe that the mid-range S7 is what&#8217;s under all of the swirly paper. As for what&#8217;s housed beneath the hood, your guess is as good as ours, but something along the lines of Audi&#8217;s new supercharged 3.0-liter V6 or the free-breathing 4.2-liter V8 could be in order. Scroll through the gallery below to see the S7 prototype from all angles.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-audi-s7\/\">Spy Shots: Audi S7<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-audi-s7\/#2992169\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/s7-3_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-audi-s7\/#2992167\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/s7-1_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-audi-s7\/#2992168\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/s7-2_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-audi-s7\/#2992170\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/s7-4_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/spy-shots-audi-s7\/#2992171\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/05\/s7-5_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: CarPix]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/05\/18\/spy-shots-first-look-at-audi-s7\/\">Spy Shots: First look at Audi S7<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 18 May 2010 13:00:00 EST.
