In our latest Cars.co.za feature
In our latest Cars.co.za feature film we experience how quickly this car accelerates, we debate where that wonderful exhaust noise comes from and we see just how many everyday items this 4-door supercar can swallow in the boot.
Audi is obviously not content with making posh, fast limos. They want to make the fastest, poshest limos, and they have done, with the new RS7. It's a car that uses the same engine as the Bentley Continental GTV8, a twin-turbo, 4.0litre cleverly designed powerplant that produces 412kW and a monstrous 700Nm.
This transalates into headline figures of 0-100km/h (0-62mph) in 3.9 seconds, and a top speed of over 300km/h.
In a car made mostly from aluminium to keep the weight down, the RS7 literally leaps off the line. It actually gave me a fright. And then I did it again and it gave me a headache. It's a brutal, savage kind of acceleration, harnessed by quattro drive which means the car just grips and goes. No drama, no fuss. Just mind-bending, stomach-churning forward motion.
And that is sort of the issue with this car. It is a supercar, on paper, but in practice it doesn't feel like one. It can probably hustle with the best of the other Germans, and it easily has the luxury spec to match, but even though it has supercar power and supercar speed, is it really a supercar?
