Designed with the opulence of a classic luxury yacht in mind, the Q7 coastline design study is finished externally in Inuit, a special ultra-luminous shade of white, which is set off by the single frame grille and side air intakes in dark high gloss steel.

White also prevails inside, where an alabaster shade used extensively in yachting colours the majority of switches and controls, the instrument panel and cowl, the plush velvet and leather-upholstered seats and the carpet.

For maximum impact the embroidered floor mats, the pillars, the roof lining, the steering wheel and the seatbelts are also colour matched in alabaster white.

The maritime theme is especially obvious in the dark waxed American walnut veneer which covers parts of the armrest, the inner door sill trims, the gear knob and, most prominently, the floor of the luggage compartment, giving it a deck-style look. Uniquely to the Q7 coastline, two neat expandable storage boxes are also incorporated in this floor.

The Coastline design study will be on display together with the final prdocution model of the Q7 V12 TDI, the world’s most powerful diesel-powered passenger car with 500 hp. and 1,000 Nm.
