The RS 7 Sportback represents dynamism in its most powerful form – the five-door coupe combines a great many impressive strengths to create a fascinating character. Its powerful 4.0 TFSI produced 412 kW (560 hp) and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of torque. The sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) takes 3.9 seconds. An option raises the top speed to 305 km/h (189.5 mph). Despite this supreme level of performance, the Audi RS 7 Sportback has a combined fuel consumption of just 9.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (24.8 US mpg) and emits 221 grams CO2 per kilometer (355.7 g/mi) – due in part to the cylinder on demand (COD) system.
Power is transmitted via an eight-speed tiptronic and quattro permanent all-wheel drive, which can also be supplemented by a sport differential at the rear axle. The Audi drive select system, 20-inch wheels and RS adaptive air suspension are all standard equipment. Optional 21-inch wheels, the RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) and carbon fiber-ceramic brakes are available as alternatives.
The new RS 7 Sportback performance offers an increase in power. Its 4.0 TFSI engine generates 33 kW (45 hp) more power than the RS 7 basic model. Thanks to the overboost feature, the driver can retrieve a short-term torque of up to 750 Nm (553.2 lb-ft). The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) takes only 3.7 seconds. While Audi limits the top speed to 250 km/h (155.3 mph) by default, dynamic package plus makes up to 305 km/h (189.5 mph) possible. Fuel consumption remains unchanged at 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers (24.8 US mpg), corresponding to 221 grams CO2 per kilometer (355.7 g/mi).
Numerous design details reinforce the preeminent position of the new performance model. Besides the air inlet duct with quattro logo and distinctive add-on parts with a titanium matt look, they include the exclusive Ascari blue metallic paintwork as well as a color-coordinated design package for the interior.
