Who would have thought that two decades after the first Audi RS7 was released, the company would still be producing them? To those who don’t know, Audi RS7s are the top-of-the-line luxury models from the brand, and they’re loved by owners around the world. In 2023, the fifth generation of these cars is being released to celebrate the car’s 20th anniversary. Check out all of its specs, pricing, and reviews here!
Overview
The Audi RS7 has been one of Germany’s most-beloved cars since its introduction. With a horsepower that measures above 600, and a sleek, futuristic design, it’s no wonder why. But with today’s release of Audi’s new flagship model, consumers will get much more than just great performance from their car; they will also be treated to an incredibly comfortable and technologically advanced interior. Read on for details about what makes Audi’s latest vehicle so great!
Design Changes In Audi RS7
The 2023 Audi RS7 goes from being one of Audi’s most aggressive cars to an even sportier luxury sedan. Its wheelbase shrinks down by over three inches and its width nearly matches that of today’s R8. The overall car has a lower coefficient of drag, which makes it more aerodynamic than before. When it comes to performance, performance improves for both fuel economy and power.
Powertrain Changes
The 2023 Audi RS7 has a different engine from today’s model. The 5.2-liter twin-turbo V8 has been replaced with a 3.0L twin-turbo straight-six engine that produces 600 horsepower and 700 lb.-ft of torque (10% more than today’s version). While Audi did not release an official 0–60 time, it claimed to have improved acceleration in every gear compared to its current lineup. The transmission was updated to match the new powerplant; instead of today’s 8 speed automatic, it will use an 11 speed unit – one extra gear compared to its closest competitor, Porsche 911 GT3.
Audi RS7 Price
The starting price for an Audi RS7 in 2020 is $137,000, with options that can push you well over $200,000. Though it’s hard to pin down exactly what a used version would cost by 2023 (just look at car values today), we can assume prices won’t have shifted dramatically in four years. That means your used-car dealer will likely be asking around $80,000 for a like new 2015 model.
Comfort
Not all supercars are created equal. Just because it has a powerful engine and can reach high speeds doesn’t mean that car will be comfortable to drive—especially if you want to take it on an extended road trip. You need to spend extra time evaluating comfort factors when deciding on your next vehicle purchase. Aesthetics are great, but so are seating, navigation, and infotainment systems. The 2023 Audi RS7 offers each of these things in spades—in addition to its eye-catching exterior design and roaring engine sound, of course. Its impeccable mix of comfort and luxury make it an ideal selection for anyone looking for a thrill without sacrificing their well-being!
Final Thoughts
First of all, let me start off by saying that what I’m about to tell you could be a huge mistake. But if you’re a fan of Audi, and especially its high-performance S and RS models, then I have a message for you: sit down. The company announced on Monday (Jan. 7) that it will debut an all-new Audi RS7 in late 2022 as part of its update to its long-standing model lineup. The car will mark not only one of Audi’s most anticipated debuts in years but also one that might kickstart rumors over whether or not we can expect a new flagship model from Audi soon.
