Of course, the sturdy build quality and upscale materials are immediately recognizable.
While the RS model shares an interior design and passenger space with the regular A7, it also has some exclusive details and intriguing options. For more information about the RS7's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. We ran it on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, and it returned 23 mpg in the real world. The powerful, albeit thirsty, RS7 is rated 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway by the EPA.

Michael Simari | Car and Driver Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG Despite not opting for the carbon-ceramic brakes, which allow its top speed to be increased from 155 to 190 mph, the standard stoppers hauled our nearly 5000-pound four-door down from 70 mph in an impressive 151 feet. Crazy quick and unerringly comfortable are accurate descriptors of its driving personality. It's also rewarding to bend into corners thanks to the poised chassis and the added agility of its standard rear-wheel-steering system. However, it felt refined regardless of the drive mode, even rolling on our tester's 22-inch rims (21s are standard). The RS7 rides on an air suspension with adaptive settings for varying levels of stiffness.
Want a slightly stronger dose of "holy s**t" acceleration? Try the 617-hp BMW M5 Competition it reaches 60 mph in 2.8 ticks. Still, with 591 horses and 590 pound-feet of torque, the RS7 we tested rocketed to 60 mph in just 3.0 seconds. All this tech makes the RS7 heavier than the last generation model, which made as much as 605 horsepower. Power comes from a brilliant twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 that pairs with a 48-volt hybrid system, eight-speed automatic transmission, and Quattro all-wheel drive. To unlock the V-8's best soundtrack we'd also opt for the sport exhaust. For maximum madness, consider the Black Optics package which adds darkened exterior trim and giant 22-inch wheels with summer performance tires. Audi makes this easy because there's only one RS7 to choose from and it comes extremely well-equipped with things such as all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, and an adjustable air suspension system.
