This is a car all about EMOTION. The Performance edition of the #Audi #RS7 and RS6 are here, as the only versions you can buy until the facelift. One word drove #AudiSport for this car, and that was emotion - in sound, power and dynamics. They took on customer and journalist feedback from the original, which was overwhelmingly about lack of emotion - so in similar style to the RS4/5 competition, they have hit key areas to bring a smile to our faces! And boy have they!!
The RS7 doesn’t have a long history, and if anything it’s a left field choice even VS the RS6. Its first version was in the C7 as a practical hatchback coupe alternate to the avant. It made 560 HP from its V8, and also had a Performance with 45PS power increase, and more torque on over-boost.
In this C8 gen, unlike rivals, Audi put their weight of design into the car, with serious focus on sportiness. Here only the hood, front doors and hatchback shared with a normal A7. It’s a massive 1.6 inches wider, with that same aggressive width that makes the RS6 such legend of the stance game. And unlike rivals like E63/M5 - not just reserved for the front, the rear doors and arches are also massive, with matching wide side sills! This standard car used the V8 twin turbo with 592BHP and 800NM, and 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. It also has a mild hybrid with an additional boost of 12hp, going to the 8 speed torque converter and Quattro system.
But now, it’s levelled up to its highest form. The RS7 Performance. First the engine update: we now have Larger turbos - increase boost pressure from 2.4 to 2.6bar - helping it make 630PS, 850NM (30PS and 50NM more) and an alleged 0-60 in 3.4.
More crucially, we have an upgraded 8 speed with faster shift times, and a new self locking centre differential - both lighter and smaller for heightened steering, dynamics and less understeer.
A huge focus was also on Sound and Weight - We have 8KG less insulation in the engine, interior and rear, to help with that emotional factor. New lighter 22 inch wheels with an open design aids cooling, but crucially 5kg lighter per wheel - 20 total! Continental have developed new Performance Tyres in the sport contact 7 - that help with a Two meter shorter brake distance.
Get the RS dynamics plus package like our matte blue car, and you get a top speed unlock and a choice of ceramics, grey red or blue; these are a massive 34KG lighter than steels!
So it has a formula that is actually quite similar to the RS5 competition that we drove recently, and absolutely loved! Which bodes well for our drive today. We’ll check out the sound, speed and performance to see if it’s now a better car!

V8 + 630hp + incredible look! This would go down as one of the greatest 4 door car ever made 🔥
The matte blue color is sick.
It's awesome, but it shows small scratches a lot. And you can't buff out matte paint. Maybe there's a new product to buff matte paint though. ?
If only the matte blue was available in the US. It seems only the metallic blue is available in the US.
Yeah but an absolute magnet for scratches…I would never get a matte paint job
Yes the Fu@k it is!! 🥶🥶🥶
Got caught off guard with the sound, epic
Listening to that sound I am tearing😢......RS7 is epic legendary I run out of words trying to explain it ..thats how much emotional I get .😢
RS7 is the bomb, no other car looks like this that coupe shape and the proportions for its size are just perfect. Its the unsung hero that doesn't shout but can look elegant and menacing in the same glance. As much as I love the RS6, if I had to choose it would be this over the RS6 and both RS6 & RS7 over the BMW and Merc rivals. Great video as usual.
previous gen M6 > RS7 anyday of the week lmao, BMW really dominated that class with the M6 Grancoupe, nothing is as stunning - but current Gen RS7 > M5/e63 for sure
only in the looks department though
@@demolisherOfMoney The RS7's current rivals are the BMW M8 Gran Coupé & the Mercedes AMG GT63s though, not the M5 & E63s, those are more the RS6's rivals.
@@demolisherOfMoney💀💀💀 bro c7 rs7>m6
@@mahin_514not really as the rs6 is an estate car it beats the m8 comp
If rs7 rival is a m8 then how come a m3 is faster then it and a m5 lmfao😂😂😂
There's just something about the RS7. Can't put my finger on it, but there's something that just makes it epic!
Maybe the price, or how much gas it uses
But it has emotional shifting
Yeah the shift of the gears (transmission) with the v8 is unique and aggressive.
That matte blue carbon makes my heart melt
My buddy took me on a ride in his fathers rs7 and we hit 150 mph in just a few moments I was very impressed the seat 💺 just pushed me so hard This car is the Tasmanian devil in a tuxedo 🤵♂️
Oh god that v8 sound🥹
I always thought the amg versions sounded best.
Current amg sucks, they're so muted. The new C63s sounds like trash
@@sillimilli3802 clearly Audi got serious with there exhaust system, but i don’t like understeer inherent in Audis.
current c63 classes have inline 4s now🤢…..e63 keep the v8tt. I just love horribly inefficient engines 😭😭😭
@@Aurora_v_cali I'm not a big Audi fan myself, but the understeer issue is mostly for car enthusiasts, the average driver wouldn't care.
Them wheels are just nuts !
Great review on a flawless motor 👌
Just found your channel and I'm at the start of this video (my first of yours). I already love your approach to reviewing. Subscribed.
The blue in the carbon fiber 🔥 🔥🔥
the quatro system is amazing specially with a v8 NA i tried it in audi s5 v8 2011 it was the best driving car ever !!
God that start up sound.
I've heard the word emotion just about 50 times in this video 😄
Great review!
wow love that animation!
AUDI RS7 Performance i love this super car.🚀🚀🔥🔥
Those wheels in satin grey are absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of the GT63 but better
My dream car..so beautifully designed.
Bro, you’re talking about underwater like you even went round a corner faster than my mum.
The front's presence is unmatched in the industry
One of the best looking cars..full stop
What a beauty. I have the regulr A7 and love it. But this one is just so aggressive, and the extra cilinders just sound great.
beautiful car, i like it more than the amg gt 63s 4 door ... and probably more than the bmw m8...
Wait hold up
10:24 - are you kidding me - listen to those GLORIOUS pops and bangs from the exhaust!!!! I want the RS6 Avant Performance in Florett Silver and red calipers SO BAD!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
If only they'd make a steering wheel that lifts the interior above basic A6s. Nice review
Still prefer my c7.5 looks but I would love those wheels!
Thats how a performance V8 should sound. Its so perfect that I would not want to add or remove anything from the way it sounds.
Matte blue is gorgeous
Looking forward to seeing this against the m8 competition and the AMG GT...
@RemoveBeforeRace which suspension was in the car you drove? Air or DRC? Did you drive both? Any thoughts?
V8 rumble so good. Puts the AMG to shame. Audi well done.
This car is my desktop wallpaper. I want it!
Thats because it has emotional shifting
unique sound
One of the fastest cars I’ve driven
Those wheels are so ooooofff 🥵
Overall great car, probably the best if you want luxury and a lot of power.
badass
Is it a haldex driven rear dif?
Perfect review
Sounds great but is that market specific..?
Great car, great video.
dream car
Same here bro. It's been my dream car for the last 7 years. It's just out of my budget 😔
Marketoligists made sure you convey the «emotional» message from the script
I still think that the M5 CS is king of sporty 4 door sedans. That’s where my money would go.
For performance there is no doubt, however looks is another thing. I would rather have a slightly slower Rs7 that is gorgeous.
M5 probably is the best sounding sedan but just looks like any other bimmer. I don't know at $300k you drive next to a m340i with quad exhaust and mirrors the same car.
U cant compare rs7 to m5 cs, i think it should be compared rs7 abt vs m5cs
Love that blue.
Cant believe they stole the NBA on NBC theme lol
Love it!
I love Audi so much but when they gone stop under powering they cars ? Specially they Top of line Sports car like The RS series .
Those taillights make it look like a 90’s for Taurus
Audi finally upped their power output game after lagging behind BMW and Mercedes
I’ll take it😍. The only way this car could be better is some clear oat on that ride🥰.
the moment when this v8 waits for the diesel tow truck on the side of a highway.
3.2 woww 😊
🔥🔥🔥
matt blue color... damn
Still sounds fluttery but awesome schweeeet and louder
OMG 😱😱😱😱😱😱 Amazing Wonderfull sound awesome, fabulous Nice car 😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
The reason why I changed sides from BMW to Audi 😊
kindly bring the karma gs 6 sport
Unpopular Opinion: The exhaust note from the outside sounds like a lawn mower.
The Audi with four less cylinders and 40 more horsepower. Unpopular opinion: You’re new to mechanical devices.
2.6 bar? I think he means 1.6
19 mentions of the word "emotion", 20 now...
you are incorrect, currently its the 3rd gen model the C7 was second gen
Nah I prefer the M8 Competition
That’s a class above. The M6 used to rival the RS7 and the CLS63 but Benz and BMW pushed upmarket and now the M8 goes against the AMG GT while no offering from Audi competes in the traditional sense.
Would you choose this or the gt63s
That sound is awesome but not long lasting with new euro sound laws getting introduced by ‘26. I personally prefer the unobstructed tidal sound of my car streaming music at super high sound without the loud sound of a V8 deadening the music nuances in my Tesla EV. To each their own.
Audi RS7 Optional Extra - Pop's and Bangs = 60k , " I'll take 2 pops and 1 bang please & thank you"
Arghh there’s so many nice cars I want. Do I get an RS4 to be slightly more economical but still have the speed, an RS6 for the V8 and practicality, or an RS7 for the coupe looks and GT type of car for long distance? Or a Porsche GT4 for the track? FFS why do these guys tempt us so much.
c63s
@@dadbouzin7585 4 cylinder lool
New prius is also tempting :D
rs6 my friend.
Why do buy powerful cars yet thinking about fuel economy?
You buy a Lamborghini and worry about mpg?
But why not 650 make it class leading instead of just catching up.
Weak effort.
Same Lamborghini alloy wheel
Audi will soon get 30 inch wheels
I love your contents, can I get a comment heart?
Comment Farts coming soon 💩 🌬️
Love
Give me a rapide AMR anyway over this common brand…and it’s a v12!
a 0-60 should be like 3.1 then thats a small step up but considering the weight if they made it like 100 pounds like we probably see a 2.9s putting it on par with the m5 competition when it does want to work on launch i have a 2018 M5 and the launch control is annoying asf.
Regarding the Sound … are you sure it does not just Sound different because this is a US Version?
The comp rims don’t look right on this to me - they suit the RS4 the best IMO. That aside, this has always been my favourite RS 🤩
I like like like like.....like
beautiful car and contrary 2 Merc especially and BMW 2 a lesser extent, they DID NOT downsize the mofo
Eu quero comprar este carro Audi cor azul escuro ano 2024
Nice
i miss the amg cls
Yes please, with extra cream 😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
NEEDS A WING

Sounds like a Chevy Silverado lol
Where is the RS6 Performance review???
Me gusta Audi para Carlos Rafael
Hi rbr
Is it really that big of difference?
Nope
@@conor7154 like you can afford any of them.
@@conor7154gercollector managed 0-100kmh in 3.0 seconds
@@madaraproductions3.0 with a passenger
@@conor7154 aight conor I'm still buying this over an M5
Can't decide how I feel about the blue stitching. From some angles it looks nice to me, and in others it looks almost like overkill. Like the leather itself almost looks dyed blue because there are so many perforations. Thinking about ordering this or an RS6 and can't make up my mind on the Blue Design package or not.
Is this car with opf
Ngl the old body looks better TO ME
Yep he’s done with Mercedes don’t blame him
This Audi scoots, looks mean but poised and with a aftermarket exhaust it sounds mean.
Sorry, what's the difference between the grey and the blue one? Must have missed it.
The grey one is grey and the blue one is blue
@@thomasvdh1118 the grey one is base performance and blue is higher spec performance
I am sorry I will take the insulation and have an big toilet break perfection ❤
