Along the new Q7 V12 TDI, Audi will also reveal a special Q7 called Coastline that takes its inspiration from the boating industry. Gossip mongers will say the massive Audi Q7 goes back to its roots.
Compared to the new Q7 diesel, the Coastline edition features a special pearl white painting, called Inuit, and slight exterior changes with a white casing for the side mirrors and dark High Gloss Steel for the single-frame radiator grill and the side air intake slots. Based on the Q7 V12, it also features the large wheelarches and the new bumpers
On the inside, the changes are more obvious as the interior is dominated by alabaster white, a color popular on luxury yachts. All the equipment such as the carpet, the floor mats made of fine wool, the pillar trim, the roof lining, the seat upholstery, the seatbelts, the steering wheel, the front of the cockpit and the door trim come in white. The only contrasting color is provided by American walnut panels and by nut brown piping on the seats as well as fine brown piping on the instrument panel and the door.
Sharing its inner structure and powertrain with the new V12 TDI, the Coastline can run the 0-62mph in 5.5 seconds and reach the usual limited speed of 155mph.
