Review Audi RS7
The rain evaporated as mist on the driveway to Munich, making it impossible to distinguish the horizon from heaven. We move through a monochromatic curtain as speed and tire spray erase any color on a dull, wet autumn day.
Only at the shortest distance did we detect the red light of the front taillights – every car on this road had their lights on. By German standards, six lanes are in circulation, but still reach an average speed of more than 100km / h.
The Audi RS7 does even better – it’s an unrestricted roadway – but its self-preservation indicates 120 km / h is fast enough for the luxury sportback. When I swung to the left to pass, the quattro all-wheel drive was so secure that the steady control lights weren’t on.
In turn, I was passed by locals passing white Benz Sprinter and Volkswagen Transporter vans, all of which stopped at a glimpse of the splendid blue RS7.
The real appeal of this car is how easily it covers the ground
An eight-speed automatic and a lightweight right foot keep the twin-turbocharged V8 under control and an overhead display to help focus on what can be seen on the road ahead.
Audi points out that this is an upgraded and therefore improved RS7. LED headlights are a welcome addition (or would be if they could illuminate anything outside of a foggy wall like water drops) but the rest of the exterior changes to the point of flicker and miss. it.
It is a recurring topic inside. The infotainment has been upgraded to the latest Nvidia processor, so it’s faster and sharper.
Forensic investigators will struggle to spot minor changes to the vent controller (highlights are red rather than white), redesigned gear knobs and Subtle tweaks to the quattro logo on the dash.
That is the puzzle. The real appeal in this car is the ease with which it covers the ground and the ease with which the driver can adjust everything from the pneumatic suspension to the steering to suit their preference or layout of the road.
Cheaper buying and fueling the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG or Porsche Panamera Turbo adds to the attraction, as well as its ability to reach 100km / h faster than its competitors (Porsche with option ‘ Chrono Pack “will match its 3.9 second split).
Where the RS7 gives up a bit of a groundwork is in driver involvement. So fast – and this car topped 300km / h earlier in the day – the steering lacks Porsche nuanced feedback and the Benz’s rolling kick in the back of the seat is stronger.
The suspension likewise needs an average setup somewhere between Comfortable and Dynamic to be really great, though I doubt the optional steel spring set with adaptive dampers can do. that.
The sloping bangs are not an issue for my 170cm frame but taller people will find the bangs messing their hair.
