Audi A7 vs S7 vs A8 4.0t: 0-60 Test!

Is there a replacement for displacement? Maybe. The Audi A7 3.0L is no slouch, but how does it compare to the S7 with the 2.9L twin turbo? More interesting is the difference between the A8 (60) 4.0L turbo V8 and the S7, both are rated to do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, but which one wins in the real world? Can the land yacht A8 overcome its weight disadvantage with its displacement? Find out in my most exciting and informational 0-60 episode yet! Competitors for these cars include the BMW 5/ 7 series, Mercedes CLS, and S Class.

Thank you, Royal on the Eastside, for loaning me the vehicles needed for this video.

Great review! Keep it up with these 0-60 comparison videos, no one else on YouTube does it as well.

I've got the s6 w Sport package and upgraded steel suspension. It's over 150lbs lighter than that S7. Audi still rates it at 4.4 to 60...

I think I’d go the a8, it’s got that old school style and it looks pretty comfortable too. Awesome review, I laughed when you had that animation thing where the a8 destroyed the a7, that was hilarious. 😂

It’s crazy that the A model audis are so fast these days! Engines have gotten so efficient at delivering power.

Great review - thanks for all of the comparisons. All great cars! I especially enjoyed the OFFICE reference at the end... haha (no one else got that?)

Hey Tyler, beautiful upload. These were some real hot cars, I admire your quick progress mate and good luck.
Stay healthy.

Great video! What app do you use for 0-60 times? Also, as an owner of a previous gen S6, it’s interesting to see that the new gen of S6 & S7 are slower. Multiple outlets were able to get 3.7 out of the last gen S6.

Get a used older model S7 with the V8.

As a person who is cross shopping a pre-owned S7 and A8, I really appreciate this video.

My 2012 A7's factory spec is 5.4 seconds to 60. That is evidently in auto; shifting got me ~5 seconds. Got an ECU and now in auto it dropped to mid-4 seconds. Love it's smoothness and precision on the road. I just see no reason for a S7. The 7's are hands down the most attractive Audi's of all.

I have the 2016 A8L 4.0t and i'm wondering if Audi has corrected the oil screen prob with the turbos on the '18-'21 4.0t v8's??? BECAUSE THERE WERE TONS OF ENGINE FAILURES DO TO THE TURBOS. other than that I feel the A8L is always the best bang for buck. Unless you can find the rs7 or S8!!

[wompwomp]

I thought all A7’s were supercharged? It says supercharged on the car itself.

The difference comes in technology and hardware, sure the A7 is fast but it’ll struggle more, I’ve been modifying mine extensively trying to break 500bhp but the transmission and differential along with some other components means I have to rebuild the engine and trans to make it run those number reliably, my friend in his S7 can make 600 reliably with no issues

Nice review! How come you didn’t put it in manual and shift the car as well? I’m pretty sure the A8 & S7 could do 4 seconds or below!

US Car market's about to crash, time to start shopping around.

CORRECTION: 3.0T IS SUPERCHARGED NOT TURBOCHARGED. THE "T" IS FOR SUPERCHARGED.

Bruh this was such a good review thanks nobody on you tube has an exact comparison

[camberridgeoff-roading]

I have dual steering a8 l 60 like here and is dark blue, , , , it FLIES on country roads. If I had upgraded rotors, brakes, and even a quicker tune . Sheesh. I love the silent but deadly. Either manual mode or double tap peddle and build boost even as it, if u get on it right it's a Monster carrier .

[lifeandlove]

Hey thank you for another great video!! Could you plz make the same one for the A6 vs S6?

Next time, measure them from idle (real life conditions), and then launch. Almost never in a real life scenario will anyone use launch off a light. Audi's tend to have much worse results from idle. Launch optimizes their times for marketing purposes. For me, true performance is the time you get when you floor it in sport mode. The 1ft rollout method is only used by Car and Driver.
