    A7 - Havana Black & Nougat Brown

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I picked up my A7 a little over a week ago and I'm still grinning. It really is a stunning car - aesthetically, mechanically, and technologically. It's Havana Black Metallic with Nougat Brown interior, Innovation Package, and 20" sport wheels (although not the Sport Package). I'll post some detailed impressions soon, but meanwhile here are some shots I took today. Finally, some decent weekend weather. You can see the brown tint in the exterior paint when the sun hits it just right.

    awesome car, congrats! my favorite color combo too. I wouldn't miss the sport package as the car becomes overly harsh for daily driving.

    The A7 looks great in that colour scheme. The havana black exterior finish truly has to be seen in real life to be appreciated.

    Have had mine for about a month and agree its awesome! My friends at work just saw it in person today and cant stop looking at it with envy! :). Mine is quartz gray mettalic and black with the 20" sports package and its not too harsh a ride esp if you leave it in auto mode! :).

    Michael - I have the exact same car - I believe ours were the dealer launch vehicles. Here is a pic of mine with 35% tint all around.

    Michael,

    Did you consider Phantom Black and/or Brilliant Black instead of the Havanna?

    I did consider Phantom Black as well. In fact, another dealer in the area had a car with exactly the same options and interior, but in Phantom Black. I think Phantom Black is a "cooler" color with shades of silver and gray in the metallic paint. The Havana Black on the other hand is "warmer" and has brown in it. Personally, I thought the Havana Black looked better with the Nougat Brown interior. If I were going with a black interior, I might have gone with the Phantom Black exterior. Either way - both are stunning colors and it was a close call for me.

    Looks great

    I have never seen the Havannah Black. Looks great. Far better than just brilliant black...

    Bruce, I'm going to do the 35% tint just as you have since I have the same model as you. My only difference is that I'm going to put Eibach springs to lower it 1.5F/.8R and paint the calipers red! I'll post the pictures as soon as it's done..

    A7 Havana Black + Nougat - Lowered on Eibachs with Painted Red Calipers!!

    After dealing with horrible professionalism at Audi Downtown LA (you've been warned) - I finally got my car! After it arrived, I took it right to Butler Tire in Alpharetta (Atlanta) and Robert Coffey hooked me up!!! Butler Tire does excellent work here in Atlanta and they put a smile on my face.

    Specs:
    2012 Audi A7 Prestige with 20" Wheels and Yokohamas (no Sport Package) and Innovation Pkg
    Havana Black
    Nougat Interior
    Eibach Springs (1.2 Front and .8 Rear) Lowering
    Red Caliper Paint
    Audi OOOO Hi-Temp Caliper stickers (ebay)
