Hi guys,

I have two days to spec my 2022 S7 before it is locked in (November delivery with any luck).

I’m quite torn between mythos black or daytona grey for exterior colour, assuming black optics package in either case. Unfortunately there are a mere 2 rim options for the S7 (very weak), so I’ll likely pick the black/silver 5 arm rim. I’m also torn between if the Audi Sport Pkg (All wheel steering, sport diff, red calipers), is a worthwhile package. My question regarding sport diff is will it make the ride smoother or stiffer? I am looking for a fairly smooth ride with a bit of speed (hence my pick of S7 over A7).

I’ve included some pics of the Daytona Grey/Mythos Black, hopefully you guys have some fun in assisting me. Will be sure to post the build once it arrives!

I’m going from a ‘20 Daytona to a ‘22 Mythos. Couldn’t imagine not going without the Sport Package simply because the best single option is the 4 wheel steering. This is a big car and having the 4 wheel steering makes it feel like a compact around tight turns. Other options I would add are the Sport Suspension (no, the ride is not too harsh with this), black optics WITH the black badges and the premium air quality package (with ionizer). Unless you’re an audiophile, the standard B&O system is plenty good enough for me.

Curious why you are upgrading from the '20 to the '22. Does the '22 have something the '20 does not?

Only reason is because there was a truck driver with a semi maneuvering around my car while I was parked at my office who thought my vehicle looked better without the front end attached to it. Did you know that one head light (parts only) costs $7750.00 (CDN) to replace?

Wow. Who knew on the cost of a new light. Thanks for the update and enjoy your new vehicle. I hope here in the US we can get our Matrix Headlights activated sooner vs later. And I agree with your thoughts on the sport package and sport suspension. I have both and would not have it any other way. Enjoy.

Do you still have a confirmed November delivery date? Just wondering because I have heard that due to chip shortages, production is at a stand-still.

Did you get your S7? How do you like it? That's the spec I would get. Daytona Grey, Sport, Blackout, and such.

I wanted to show Chronos Gray for the S7. Apologies as these aren't the best pictures and only the first one with tinted windows is the vehicle even clean. I had heartache over whether I liked this color prior to seeing it in person. Interestingly I think this is one of my favorite colors that I have had. I had a Daytona Gray A7 and hands down I receive more compliments on this car than any other car and color I've had ever had. That wasn't expected. I feel this color isn't an option for most because they haven't seen it, but it works well with the lines of this car. While it is a gray, it does have an undertone in in sunlight of greenish/brown so it makes it more of an earth tone gray. For the record I don't like brown or green on cars, but love this one. Again...wanted to throw this out as an option for some because I couldn't really find examples of that "color I don' think I will like" while I was car shopping, but definitely love it.

My interior is black. I could see this car with the brown interior (don't recall the name of it), I'm on the fence about red interior in Chronos (kind feel like the interior and exterior would be competing with each other, but maybe adventurous), and I personally think the gray interior would be almost bland with this color. Sadly I would have never ordered this car or color configuration, but considering shortages thank you go the guy that decided to go with an RS5 Sportback and leave this for me! Excuse the typos...I fell asleep like 3 times on this message and I'm out....
