Our spyphotographers have captured the first pictures of the Audi S7.

Taken near the Nürburgring, the photos reveal the S7 will feature a four-tailpipe exhaust system, attractive wheels, a high performance braking system, and a retractable rear spoiler. Other goodies will include modified bumpers, a chrome grille, and a sportier suspension.

Under the hood, power will likely be provided by the RS5's 4.2-liter V8 with 444 hp (331 kW / 450 PS) and 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque. If that isn't powerful enough, Audi will offer a RS7 with a 580 hp (433 kW / 588 PS) 5.2-liter V10 or a 572 hp (427 kW / 580 PS) 5.0-liter TFSI V10.

Considering that the A7 will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show, the S7 may debut simultaneously or possibly at the Geneva Motor Show next year.
