Default Is S6 getting the sme facelift as the S7 for MY2015?

Really I thought the facelift wouldn't come until MY2016 since just a couple months ago, the new S7 was still under heavy wrap... However it just suddenly got announced with official pictures.

Do we know if the S6 is getting the same facelift, most importanlty:
1. 30hp increase
2. new LED lights
3. nav being displayed in between dials

Or is the S6 facelift being delayed till MY2016 to give the S7 a slight power and tech advantage for 1 year?

Or is this pretty much unkown until it's announced or released? Maybe that's why the MY2015 price list hasn't come out yet...

No one seems to know for sure if the 2015 A7 for the USA will have the face lift, or if its just for Europe till MY2016 for USA.

I guess we will have to wait a bit till there is some verified info on this.

I just got my S6 build date, 6/30, but no new info regarding cost or performance/cosmetics.

Now I have to get my current wheels ready for sale!

Good question. Also, is there a specific mechanical or ECU upgrade done to the S7 to account for the 30hp boost? Or is Audi simply rating the engine at what every dyno on the planet says it actually makes?

Right... in fact I feel the hp is just kind of a BS thing since everyone knows the current 420 is underrated... So really they don't need to do anything and can just say 450... No one's going to question them on that.

I just feel given the A7/S7 video, the disappearance of Estoril Blue color, and addition of sepang blue pearl, standard LED... seems like both 6 and 7 are getting the facelift for MY2015...

However can't be sure...

The spyshots of the facelifted A6/S6 are on the internet and should coincide with the A7/S7, but they should appear with the 2015 model year in Europe and 2016 model year in the US. This is unconfirmed however.

Smaller, sportier grill - I like it. Hopefully they got rid of the "overbite" in the rear tail-lights as well.

I think that overbite is still there. It looks lower from the front...more aggressive. I'm mixed on the NAV between the dials vs the typical placement on the dash. I've seen the NAV in the dials on the new TT...it's cool technology. But does it limit the amount of info you can see at one time vs having to move to different screens.
