The new generation Audi RS7 Sportback

The RS7 Sportback - the most potent five-door coupe in Audi's range - now looks even sharper and performs even more efficiently, yet no less formidably.

The new generation RS7 Sportback combines subtle styling enhancements with new LED lighting, upgraded infotainment features and revisions to the 560bhp V8 TFSI powerplant, which enable it to comply with new EU6 emissions regulations.

Even at first glance, the Audi RS7 Sportback reveals its dynamic character - the long bonnet, flowing C-pillars and the sharply sloping rear end form an aesthetic overall impression. New design details add striking touches.

They include the Singleframe grille with the black honeycomb typical of RS models, with the corners now even sharper and more distinctive. Three optional packages - matt aluminium, gloss black and carbon - make the look of the RS7 Sportback even more distinctive.

In the elegant black interior, the standard MMI navigation plus with MMI touch now uses the modular infotainment platform of the latest generation; its highlight is an efficient graphics processor from Audi partner, Nvidia.

The EU6-compliant 4.0 TFSI engine in the revised Audi RS7 Sportback provides the same prodigious 560bhp, with a constant 700Nm of torque at engine speeds between 1,750rpm and 5,500rpm.

The engine catapults the five-door coupe from 0 to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds while the optional dynamics packages allow top speeds of 280km/h and 305km/h respectively.

RS adaptive air suspension is fitted as standard, together with adaptive damping, and is controlled via the Audi drive select driving dynamics system. Audi offers the tauter RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) as an alternative. A further option is dynamic steering, which continuously varies the steering ratio for greater agility.

"The RS7 confirms the reputation of the RS models as the superior, top athletes of our brand. The combination of a powerful 4.0‑litre V8 engine with Cylinder on Demand technology, quattro and intelligent lightweight design makes the RS7 Sportback an outstanding piece of equipment for any fan of dynamic and yet efficient driving," stated Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development of Audi.
