Yes had exactly that model as a Company Car. Test drove both an A7 and an A8 beforehand and did a full report on This Thread Here which might interest you.
It went pretty well as standard did about 42 mpg and 500nm of torque but I found a bolt on tuning box which upped that to 47mpg and 600nm of torque and it was certainly fast and drove in a more sporty way than an 8 - didn't feel like the size it was.
There are a few pics here and elsewhere on the forum. My main reason for wanting a 7 was the fact that it was a large hatchback so you could get huge amounts into it with the seats folded but the car looked more interesting than a large estate car. The interior was what the interior of the new A6 was based upon, but the car is a bit of a hybrid chassis wise with more aluminium than the A6 but less than the A8.
