Product Overview

Audi RS 7 C7 (Typ 4G8) Sportback is a full-size luxury sports sedan in production from 2013 to 2019. It was available with a single bi-turbo V8 engine with two output levels that displaced 4.0 liters.
As the C7 A7 was roughly a suited-up C7 A6, the C7 RS 7 was a suited-up C7 RS 6, except that Audi elected to not release the RS 6 in sedan form (a wagon was nontheless offered).
The RS 7 Sportback uses a high-output version of the 4.0L hot-vee V8TT engine found in a range of high-performance vehicles from Audi, Porsche, and Bentley. It was offered in two output levels.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the RS 7 Sportback (C7) comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
