Condensed Information The New Audi RS 7 Sportback The second generation of the Audi RS 7 Sportback (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 11.6 – 11.4 (20.3 – 20.6 US mpg); combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 265 – 261 (426.5 – 420.0 g/mi)) has arrived, and it’s more unique than ever before. For the first time, Audi Sport is offering the high-performance Sportcoupé as a five seater, with much wider wheel arches and higher performance as well as improved efficiency. “The RS 7 Sportback is our interpretation of a four-door high-performance coupé in the shape of a grand tourer,” said Oliver Hoffmann, Managing Director at Audi Sport GmbH. “With refinements to make it even more suitable for everyday use plus its incredible performance, what we have here is an extraordinary sports coupé for customers who like their cars to feature stunning design.” Innovative: the exterior design The new Audi RS 7 Sportback sits low to the ground. The flared wheel arches emphasize the spectacularly sporty nature of the high-performance model. The noticeable width is no optical illusion—at 1,950 millimeters (76.8 in) at the front fenders, the tape measure has to stretch an extra 20 millimeters (0.8 in) on each side over the Audi A7 Sportback. The RS-specific exterior design lends the 5,009-millimeter (197.2-inch) RS 7 Sportback a character all of its own. The front end features a broad, flat Singleframe with no contrasting border. The radiator protective grille with its RS-specific honeycomb structure and the distinctive air inlets add to the aggressive styling. RS-specific sills with black inserts visually emphasize the pronounced forward thrust. The rear end has a sweeping spoiler lip and a strip of lights linking the main rear lights. At a speed of 100 km/h (62.1 mph), a spoiler will extend from the tailgate. The RS exhaust system, with a large, chrome-colored oval tailpipe on each side, sits beneath an RS-specific bumper with a rear diffuser. The RS 7 Sportback comes with LED headlights as standard to light its way through the darkness. The optional RS specific HD matrix LED headlights with Audi laser light, dark bezels and the LED rear lights are equipped with dynamic turn signal lights. 2/24 V8 power: the drive system The 4.0 TFSI in the new Audi RS 7 Sportback (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 11.6 – 11.4 (20.3 – 20.6 US mpg); combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 265 – 261 (426.5 – 420.0 g/mi)) delivers 441 kW (600 metric hp) and a constant 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque across a wide range from 2,050 to 4,500 rpm. The four-door coupé will sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) in only 3.6 seconds. Top speed can be increased from 250 km/h to 280 km/h (155.3 mph to 174.0 mph) with the dynamic package, and even as high as 305 km/h (189.5 mph) with the dynamic package plus. The four-liter engine produces a full-bodied and sporty V8 sound, which the driver can adjust using the Audi drive select dynamic handling system. Thanks to its mild-hybrid system (MHEV) with a 48-volt main on-board electrical system, the V8 power unit combines maximum performance with high efficiency. The cylinder on demand (COD) system is another weapon in the vehicle’s armory when it comes to efficiency. Agility on tap as soon as it leaves the factory: the suspension The new Audi RS 7 Sportback comes with RS adaptive air suspension with controlled damping as standard. It has been tuned specifically to suit the RS and now allows the grand tourer to reach a top speed of 305 km/h (189.5 mph) with the dynamic plus package. The air suspension can be adjusted between three different modes. The pronounced kingpin inclination of the RS sport air suspension opens up a free choice between long-distance comfort and high performance. As an alternative, the RS sports suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) as integrated roll and pitch compensation is available. It works with steel springs and three-stage adjustable dampers, which counteract the movements of the vehicle body without time delay without the use of electronics. It uses steel springs and three-way adjustable dampers. The driver’s steering inputs are translated into precise direction changes by standard sporty and direct progressive steering. The RS 7 Sportback can optionally be fitted with dynamic all-wheel steering. The character of the high-performance Sportcoupé can be adjusted via the Audi drive select dynamic handling system. There are six profiles available, including the customizable RS-specific RS1 and RS2 modes. These can be enabled directly via an RS MODE button on the steering wheel. The new Audi RS 7 Sportback is fitted as standard with 21-inch cast aluminum wheels with a 10-spoke star design. Audi Sport offers optional an RS 7-specific 22-inch wheels in a range of colors. The calipers of the RS brake system are painted black as standard but are available in red as an option. On the optional RS ceramic brakes, the calipers can be gray, red or blue. 3/24 Sporty and futuristic: the interior The design language in the cockpit of the new Audi RS 7 Sportback (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 11.6 – 11.4 (20.3 – 20.6 US mpg); combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 265 – 261 (426.5 – 420.0 g/mi))combines taut, sinewy surfaces with clearly defined contours. There is plenty of space for the driver and passenger, with the black- paneled architecture of the interior accomplishing a seamless transition to the futuristic user interface. The upper MMI touch response display opens up a diverse array of infotainment options, while the lower display offers climate controls. The flat-bottomed RS sport leather steering wheel with new large RS specific aluminum shift paddles features multifunction buttons, including for the new Audi drive select RS1 and RS2 modes. Special RS displays in the Audi virtual cockpit provide additional trip and vehicle data. The shift light display prompts the driver to upshift when the rev limit is reached. The optional head-up display also shows several RS-specific information. RS sport seats with a rhombus pattern and RS embossing are fitted as standard. An even sportier option is available in the form of RS sport seats covered with perforated Valcona leather, featuring a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing.
