From Audi
*****
2021 Audi RS 7 pricing announced: visceral performance with striking
design

4.0-liter TFSI® bi-turbo V8 capable of 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of
torque, sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds

A lowered stance and flared wheel arches emphasize the most powerful
iteration of Audi sportback design
Standard performance equipment including quattro® sport differential,
dynamic all-wheel steering and RS adaptive air suspension provide
masterful control in nearly all driving situations

HERNDON, Va., March 4, 2020 – The second generation of the RS 7 joins
the Audi suite of all-new RS engineered models in the brand’s
performance lineup. The five-door coupe is equipped with a 4.0-liter
TFSI® bi-turbo V8 that generates 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of
torque. The visceral performance capabilities of the RS 7 are
underlined by its lowered stance, aggressive RS styling, and flared
wheel arches that make it nearly an inch wider on each side over the
A7.

Performance: pure power

The RS 7 houses a powerful 4.0-liter TFSI® bi-turbo V8 that delivers
591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque (+147 hp/+147 lb-ft over the
S7), allowing the five-door coupe to sprint from 0-60 mph in 3.5
seconds.

The standard quattro® sport differential offers a dynamic driving
experience and helps enhance cornering agility by actively splitting
torque between each of the rear wheels, with the ability to direct
nearly all torque to one wheel.
Standard eight-speed tiptronic® transmission with optimized shift
times and new launch control function transmits the power of the
4.0-liter engine to the quattro® all-wheel drive.

The 4.0-liter engine produces a full bodied and robust V8 sound, which
the driver can adjust using the Audi drive select system. The optional
Sport Exhaust can be added for an even more pronounced sound.
RS ceramic brakes are available with red or gray painted calipers, and
increase the top track speed of the RS 7 from 155 mph to an
eye-watering 190 mph.

Suspension: agility on tap

The RS 7 is equipped with an RS adaptive air suspension with
controlled damping specifically tuned to suit the RS model. The air
suspension can be adjusted between three different modes, allowing
drivers to seamlessly switch between long-distance comfort and
high-performance dynamics.

A RS sport suspension with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC), is also
available which integrates roll and pitch compensation. DRC uses steel
springs and three-way adjustable dampers to counteract the movements
of the vehicle body without the use of electronics.

Driving characteristics can be adjusted via the Audi drive select
system. Six profiles are available, including customizable RS-specific
RS1 and RS2 modes that can be enabled directly from an “RS MODE”
button on the steering wheel.

The RS 7 sits 0.4 inches lower than the A7 when “auto”, “comfort” or
“efficiency” modes are selected. At speeds above 75 mph or in
“dynamic” mode, the air suspension lowers the body another 0.4
inches.

Standard dynamic all-wheel steering enables the steering angle of the
front and rear wheels to be adjusted independently, allowing for
increased maneuverability at low speeds and maximum stability at high
speeds.
Exterior design: a striking silhouette

The most powerful expression of the Audi sportback body style will be
offered exclusively in a wide-body, five-seater configuration, a first
for the model.

Flared wheel arches emphasize the sporty nature of the
high-performance model, with nearly an inch more of width on each side
over its predecessor. The RS 7 shares the iconic silhouette with the
base model, but only has four identical parts: the hood, roof, front
doors and tailgate.

The three-dimensional RS-specific honeycomb structure within the
Singleframe® grille is finished in gloss back. Below the Matrix-LED
laser headlights, side air inlets open on the striking new RS bumper
and extend into the lower edge of the headlights.

At the rear of the vehicle is a sweeping lip spoiler which extends at
speeds above 60 mph, and a strip of lights link the main taillights to
give further definition to the tailgate. The RS exhaust system, with
large, oval tailpipes on each side, sits beneath an RS-specific bumper
with a rear diffuser in gloss black.

The RS 7 is standard equipped with 21-inch, RS wheels with summer
tires. Available Black Optic or Carbon Optic packages include 22-inch
wheels, a black grille and black or carbon exterior accents.
Interior: driver-focused, RS-specific

The refined interior of the RS 7 includes impressive RS accents and
driver-focused technologies. Standard MMI touch response® with haptic
and acoustic feedback features a 10.1-inch upper display used for
controlling infotainment and navigation functions and an 8.6-inch
lower display used for climate control, comfort and convenience
functions, as well as for natural handwriting input with whole-word
recognition.

Standard second-generation Audi virtual cockpit features a 12.3-inch
display that offers HD resolution of 1920 x 720 pixels. The virtual
cockpit helps to enhance the infotainment and navigating experience
through the large satellite imagery or 3D city maps in the instrument
cluster (requires Audi connect® PRIME subscription, supported with 4G
LTE where available).

Special RS displays provide information on tire pressure, torque,
power output, engine oil temperature, boost pressure, lap times,
acceleration measurements and g forces.

Standard RS sport seats are upholstered with Valcona leather with a
honeycomb pattern and RS embossing. The fully perforated, heated RS
sport leather steering wheel features new large RS aluminum shift
paddles on either side of the wheel.
