Audi S6 and S7 Nardo Sport Editions for America

Audi of America product planning has dipped into the Audi exclusive catalogue to create some new color and trim limited editions on its S6 and S7 models. Dubbed the Nardo Sport Edition, it pairs paint color with eye-catching interior trim specification.

At the heart of the name is the paint color. Nardo Grey (nardfograu; UNI; LY7C; Audi exclusive) is a popular choice for standard RS model color palettes and also a popular Audi exclusive special paint choice. So, while popular, this also means it’s not a terribly rare color. Whatever the case, it’s a handsome battleship grey shade.

Further differentiation comes from black roof, darkened headlights, carbon mirror trims and gloss black 21-inch wheels that adopt the design of the 22-inch wheels from the RS 6 Avant.

Inside, the specification is more bold, with two-tone Jet Grey and Black leather, additional leather surfaces, Crimson Red Stitching and Crimson Red seatbelts.

Check out the full specification in the Audi press release found below.

RESTON, VA – Audi of America today announced the availability of a new Nardo Sport Edition package for the 2025 S6 4-door sedan and 2025 S7 5-door liftback. Inspired by Audi Sport, the new package adds an exclusive exterior color and unique interior designs to form a subtle yet purposeful palette. The Nardo Sport Edition enhances the sporting appeal of the potent S models, each of which are propelled by a 444-horsepower, 2.9L biturbo TFSI® V6 and quattro® all-wheel drive.

The 2025 S6 Nardo Sport Edition and S7 Nardo Sport Edition will arrive in an Audi exclusive Nardo Gray exterior color, and feature a black roof, darkened headlight structures, and carbon fiber mirror housings. The High-gloss Black package with black badges is included, and both the S6 and S7 Nardo Sport Edition receive 21” gloss black Audi Sport wheels: 5-V-spoke structure design on the S6; and 5-V-spoke trapezoid design for the S7.

The interiors of the S6 and S7 Nardo Sport Edition models each receive an Audi exclusive leather package in Jet Gray/Black with Crimson Red stitching and Crimson Red seatbelts. The special edition includes a leather package that coats the dash, armrest and center console, and on S7 models, the bundle includes a Black Dinamica headliner.

Electrically powered compressor boosts turbo performance
The 2.9-liter biturbo TFSI V6 in all 2025 Audi S6 and S7 models is rated at 444 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, and features a separate electronic compressor paired with the engine’s two turbos to sharpen throttle response. Brought to the U.S. market for the first time in S6 and S7 models, the electric powered compressor (EPC) system comprises an electric motor with a small turbine that helps quickly build the twin turbo system’s boost pressure, sharpening throttle response and reducing any noticeable turbo “lag”. When the V6 TFSI engine is operating at higher speeds, a valve for the EPC system closes, leaving a parallel path for air to move through the engine. However, the EPC system is always operating, even at idle, ready to respond to the driver’s needs for increased power.

The EPC makes the most of Audi’s latest-generation 48V mild hybrid electrical architecture, supplying electric energy generated during coasting and recuperation to the vehicles’ 9.6 Ah lithium-ion battery. From there, the battery provides the EPC’s electric motor energy to accelerate the turbine – located downstream of the engine’s turbochargers – to quickly increase pressure, aiding engine responsiveness and torque delivery. The entire EPC system adds just 10 kg (22 lbs) to the vehicles’ overall weight and reduces response time to less than 250 milliseconds, faster than an average human’s reaction time.

Located downstream of the engine’s parallel twin turbochargers and upstream of the air-to-water intercooler, the compressor pushes cooler air through the engine’s two throttle bodies and into its cylinders with higher force. At lower engine speeds, the EPC activates at speeds up to 70,000 RPM, helping the engine operate similar to the smoothness of a naturally aspirated, non-turbocharged, engine.

Expanded Connected Car and ADAS Features
All 2025 Audi S6 and S7 models feature available adaptive cruise assist, Audi’s traffic sign recognition technology, the Audi connect app with remote engine start capability, and the integrated application store that allows apps to be directly downloaded on to the Multimedia Interface (MMI).

The Audi app store offers customers an elevated level of digital in-car experience, seamlessly connecting their Audi to their digital life with apps in categories including Music, Video, Gaming, Navigation, Parking & Charging, Productivity, Weather, and News, including the integration of third-party services such as Spotify, TikTok, Yelp, Webex by Cisco, and The Weather Channel®.
