That is all we need to know, to also know this is the upcoming Audi A7.   It's the latest in the new breed of rounded-roof sedans that promise the practicality of a family-sized interior with the style advantage of a coupe.

Audi has done a good job on camouflage with the A7, but the side-on shots show the way the roofline slopes down into the hatchback tail but still leaves enough space for usable back doors.  Mercedes-Benz got things going with its CLS four-door, Volkswagen came up with the Passat CC, BMW has its GT and soon Audi will have the A7.

Audi is going for the top-end approach with the A7, from its signature quattro drive - obvious from the snow spray from the front wheels in our Carparazzi scoop pictures - to a new turbocharged V8 engine and a V8 turbodiesel with around 800 Newton-metres to feed through a seven- speed automatic gearbox.
