Ever since the launch event for the S1 hot hatch in May last year, we've had a strange fixation with the color Viper Green on Audis. It's like the polar opposite to the grays and blacks most quattro drivers want and shows the company can have a wild, unpredictable side from time to time.
This one is an A7 facelift, launched just last year, that has been kitted out with the bright tones of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Built on customer request, this A7 probably cost €4,000 just to have this paintjob, but considering this is the flagship four-door coupe, it's peanuts money.

Even Audi Forum Neckarsulm, who uploaded these photos a couple of days ago, agree that the A7 looks like a hulk of a car. Despite this, not much will happen if you get it angry, since under the bonnet is a V6 TDI clean diesel engine and not the monstrous 560 horsepower V8 of an RS model.

We don't know exactly which V6 engine this A7 comes with, since Audi doesn't label its cars like BMW and Mercedes. There are a total of four outputs available with quattro all-wheel drive: 218 PS, 272 PS, 320 PS and 326 PS. Even the slowest of these can reach 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds while the fastest, being the A7 competition, needs only 5.1 seconds.

And in case all this information got you interested in buying an A7 of your own, know that since the facelift came last year, all models come with a cool square exhaust and standard LED headlights. You can even get it with a 2-liter turbo making 252 PS now.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
