Benno Senner, president of Senner Tuning AG, and his team in Ingelheim am Rhein have been tweaking Audi’s beautiful A7 Sportback model. Choosing the 180 kW/245 hp 3.0L V6 TDI version as its base for the project, Senner tweaked the diesel unit to produce 225 kW/306 hp and an impressive 620 Nm of torque (up from 500 Nm). For comparison – that’s more than a McLaren MP4-12C produces. VMax is also raised to 280 km/h (174 mph). A new stainless steel sports exhaust also helps matters, as does the power converter which removes the delay which can be seen in fly-by-wire accelerator systems.

Visually, the A7 has been fitted with 9.5×20 inch Varianza T1S alloy wheels wrapped in Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta in 275/35R20 tyres, while the ride height can be dropped by 30 mm – on cars fitted with the optional adaptive air suspension.
