Why does the Audi A7 have a V6 engine instead of V8?

I am considering buying the Audi A7, but I noticed that it comes with a V6 engine instead of a V8. Is there a specific reason for this choice from Audi?

The decision to use a V6 engine in the Audi A7 was based on fuel efficiency and performance. Audi was able to achieve a balance between power and efficiency with their V6 engine design.

A V6 engine is more compact and lightweight compared to a V8, making it a better fit for the Audi A7's sleek design and sporty performance.

V6 engines have come a long way in terms of power and performance, and in many cases, they can outperform traditional V8 engines while still being more fuel-efficient.
