Audi sells a whole bunch of A3 sedans and hatchbacks every day, mainly to customers stuck in middle management who dream they could drive something better. The compacts are… fine, but if you're looking for "great", the A7 might be it.
A tuning company called MR Racing recently finished a cool looking A7 project, which it calls "Das blaue Wunder", which means "the blue wonder" in Shakespearean. They brought out the A7's beauty using a two-tone matte wrap in blue and black,
Like it or not, Europeans drive diesels and that's what this A7 is packing, a 3.0 TDI V6. No matter what you do to it, it will never become an RS7, but MR Racing have managed to squeeze a respectable 299 PS from the 3-liter using only ECU remapping. That's still lower even than some stock Audi diesel models, but it's enough to take you places with purpose. It's also a huge increase over the stock 204 hp output (that's right, this is a FWD Audi A7) and is accompanied by 612 Nm of meaty torque.
There's something about a stanced A7 that's special – the sharp, straight lines just look much better sitting low to the ground. Not surprisingly, this particular project went with a KW Dynamic Level Control suspension, controlled via a clever smartphone app. Popping out against the matte blue body, a set of 21-inch concave rims give off a polished look in a golden shade. A Subaru theme for the Audi? Maybe, but it works just fine.
Behind those wheels, the A7 TDI has stolen an optional ceramic brake system from its sporty S7 model, measuring a massive 400mm at the front and 370mm at the rear.
