4 Audi RS 7 Sportback Unconditional dynamism. With prestige. Puristic elegance. Incredible power. Cutting-edge engineering. They all add up to produce a car that is simply without precedent: the Audi RS 7 Sportback. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures as well as the efficiency class can be found on page 56.
Audi RS 7 Sportback Unconditional driving pleasure. With Audi cylinder on demand. The 4.0 litre V8 TFSI engine generates 412 kW and delivers a maximum torque of 700 Nm. Pure power that the quattro permanent all-wheel drive transfers to the road with confidence. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is effortless and takes just 3.9 seconds. The RS 7 Sportback also excels when it comes to efficiency, with Audi cylinder on demand shutting down four of the eight cylinders in the partial-load range.
Audi RS 7 Sportback Less weight equals more driving pleasure. The intelligent Audi ultra lightweight technology improves the power-to-weight ratio and sharpens the handling dynamics. You are also assured of superb roadholding thanks to the standard RS adaptive air suspension. There is also the option of the RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) for a further reduction in the vehicle’s pitching and rolling movements.
10 Audi RS 7 Sportback Unconditional athleticism. With elegance. Elegance at its most powerful: the trademark Audi Singleframe featuring a matt aluminium-look frame and high-gloss black honeycomb grid creates an impression of outstanding strength. RS bumpers with large side air intakes and integrated flaps as well as the optional LED headlights with dark-tinted surrounds help to underline the individual character of the Audi RS 7 Sportback.
Audi RS 7 Sportback Unmistakably RS: the sporting traits of the Audi RS 7 Sportback. The optionally available 21-inch cast aluminium wheels in 5-spoke blade design provide a clear view of the optional ceramic brake behind. The RS bumper with high-gloss black diffuser insert and integrated oval tailpipe trims brings the vehicle’s dynamically styled rear to an impressive conclusion. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures as well as the efficiency class can be found on page 56.
Audi RS 7 Sportback Keeping a firm grip on power: the shift paddles of the flat-bottomed RS leather-covered multifunction sport steering wheel enable you to change gear manually without having to let go of its rim’s chunky contours. Meanwhile, the MMI® navigation plus with MMI touch gives you perfectly intuitive control over many vehicle functions. Meaning that you can enjoy the extraordinary driving experience even more intensely.
16 Audi RS 7 Sportback The interior exudes sportiness, exclusiveness and quality the moment you open the door. Details such as the illuminated door sill trims, pedals in aluminium look, door openers with a delicate double-bar design and carbon inlays all serve to underline the vehicle’s premium character. The RS sport seats with their boldly contoured form offer excellent lateral support even on the most challenging drives.
Audi RS 7 Sportback Not only does the Audi RS 7 Sportback boast a unique dynamism, the way in which it adapts to the driver is just as individual. Thanks to the 8-speed tiptronic’s Dynamic Shift Program (DSP), the transmission can automatically adjust to your driving style. Fast, precise gear changes at exactly the right moment help you to drive just the way you like. What’s more, the transmission’s wide ratio spread serves to increase efficiency, too.
