Road Test: 2016 Audi RS 7 - 5 Door Fury
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- There’s no doubt that Audi has built some beastly beauties over the years. And truth be told, we can’t get enough of them. So, of course we got a little giddy when Audi delivered a long, dark, and handsome RS 7 for us to try out. What’s gotten our automotive hearts all aflutter? Let’s find out.
Audi has long had their own unique take on the German sport sedan theme; basing it on front rather than rear-wheel drive chassis; and while seeing it mature, we’ve grown to really enjoy their approach. While they have plenty of models to choose from, it’s this 5-door supercar RS 7 that we’ve taken a particular shine to.
When unleashed for 2014, it was the most powerful Audi you could get; eclipsing even the R8. Of course since then, a new R8 has upped the ante; so this 2016 RS 7 gets a host of updates to stay in the game, and placate those enthusiasts that always expect more performance.
The RS 7 is, of course, a high output version of the A7; and along with the middle-child S7, all get new front fascias for ’16 with full LED headlights.
In kind, the rear is updated with new taillights above, and trapezoidal exhaust tips below...

I love my RS7.
It commands respect.
Never thought I'd live to see the day when John Davis uttered the words BEAST MODE and SAVAGE in a car review. Boy have times changed. :D
I'm not really an Audi guy but I do love this RS7!!!!!!!
The Germans sure know how to make a super fast four door. Almost ridiculous levels of speed from such a big vehicle. Wish I had that kind of money as I'd love to own one :)
RS 7 is a Landshark... I like that...
I love this MotorWeek Reviews, they conserve the style of the ones from the 80's, thats quite good, keep on duty motorweek!
Such a beautiful car and so fast
I can only imagine the potential with good tuning and a few mods. Audi's Group B rally cars with the 20 valve inline 5 in the 80's was making over 600 horsepower.
They're not overbuilding their engines any more (e.g. 300HP ABZ bottom end is good to three times that) and they're tuning them a lot more tightly now.
Nice lid Ben!!!!!!!
Beauty lid Ben.
Very nice car
I have one, exactly same color, 2016 Prestige...it is a multi-faced car, you can uso it as a friendly daily, to hunt super cars or to do track day, the only point of attention is the cost of all kinds of maintenance, which's expected for Audi and even more for a RS badge. But other than that, fantastic car!
Im looking at 2016/2017 models. At What milage should i stay away from?
These things are brutal. I witnessed one eat a Corvette with ease.
I'll take it!
Sometimes the old school gauges work perfect 👌
I would slap my grandma to own a car like this.
Nice helmet Ben!!!!!
Such a fast car. Q ship.
People here keep asking about an all digital dash, but the people that actually drive the A6-A7, S6/S7, RS6/RS7 don't generally prefer the digital dash...
so i guess soon the only way for me into enjoy a manual will be older cars sadly
Is that a shot of a 2017 A4 @ 4:20?
It's an rs7 but the infotainment system shows a base model a7. This attention to detail is just depressing. Also, the interior is dated when compared to the latest model which has three screens.
In real drag strip conditions the Performance package will be much faster that what the magazine achieved. I have a best full stock on my 2015 RS7 at 11.44@122, and that's not even the fastest stock RS7 measured. They regular versions can run as low as 11.30s...The Performance should be able to run low low 11s...Plus they are launching it wrong... You have to press the traction control for 10 secs to disengage everything, put it in individual mode with everything in dynamic, except the suspension which has to be in comfort for the car to squat... And then of you go. I guaranty you, private owners will be running much much lower that what is shown here...
these ass clowns never get any where near what the magazine's get when testing it's always a second or two off
Hardly ass clowns, just a couple old guys that get in turn on the ac and floor it rather than all the dynamic, personal mamba jumbo launch control bs thats not need on an awd car.
that is some flat braking
This is getting affordable! The only problem is that Google Earth satellite imagery is now broken as of 2021
smart virtually integration ski direct.
Can snag one of these beauties for about 60k now (with less than 30k miles on it).
So where is this 5th door like the title list
The hatchback
Re San no I didn't I thought it would be a typo that's why. Questioned it
It's a hatchback. Any car with a hatch is referred to as a 5-door.
There's a computer upgrade on this car. ups the boost. hp to 700!
The s6 v10 is were it's at
In the $25k range it’s a decent option. The C7 RS7 is an RS car, not an S, and in another league in all categories.
Check engine light :/ 3:16
Ohh my god have i just read this comment, Thats because the engine was off 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
that is the first car which has wheels that look too big for it.
Super car for 129 fuck that I'll get a clean used r8
I’ll take one, manual please and skip the junky B & O audio. No full digital dash?
Well, did you take one?
Lack arise end adolescent.
If I’m spending 💯 stacks it will be on the E63s
Anything in the German market whether it be the pristine performance package or even the base model these cars dollar for dollar pound for pound horse power per horse power are just not worth it there's so many other cars out there they give you more power more options for half the price wise is anybody go to the German market I mean they are quality vehicles but they're just very overpriced
It's a huge luxury German car and you are using the power for dollar argument, talk about irrelevant
Clous von your irrelevant
Super fast and super ugly, just how I like my women.
And that's why you're my new hero. Thank you, sir.
Nissan TitanWarrior ugly is clearly a matter of opinion, ever see one on the road?
It's absolutely ugly. Hate that rear end. It's like the car was squashed from behind.
if you want faster you need something with fewer doors ! the TESLA is faster and it's a five door too
tesla... please this review never gets the fastest time just search on youtube...the electric motor of the tesla give 100 percent torque off the line but when the rs7 hits second and third gears it wastes the tesla...one of the few cars to do so
lol i know these guys suck at testing cars always a second or two off what everyone else gets
Altitude
Martin Espinoza in Maryland? These guys are usually a second slower than most magazines.
incediery
When will the RS7 "wastes the Tesla"? Well after the 1/4 mile race has ended and you awake from that dream, will it happen!
Great car, ugly wheels.
The RS7 is very fast and beautiful. But it is still no match for a Tesla P90D or P100D in a drag race.
