AUDI RS 7 SPORT

The exterior of the Audi RS 7.
Elegance at its most powerful: the trademark Audi Singleframe featuring a matte aluminium-look frame and high-gloss black honeycomb grid creates an impression of outstanding strength. RS bumpers with large side air intakes and integrated flaps as well as the optional LED headlights with dark-tinted surrounds help to underline the individual character of the Audi RS 7 Sportback. The tornado line sets the tone for the side view’s dynamic appearance, which is further emphasised by the distinctive widened sills. The trim strips and exterior mirror housings in matte aluminium look add some RS-specific touches.

The interior of the Audi RS 7.
Keeping a firm grip on power: the shift paddles of the flat-bottomed RS leather-covered multifunction sport steering wheel enables you to change gear manually without having to let go of its rim’s chunky contours. Meanwhile, the MMI® navigation plus with MMI® touch gives you perfectly intuitive control over many vehicle functions. Meaning that you can enjoy the extraordinary driving experience even more intensely.

ENGINE

The Audi RS 7 Sportback has a V8 4.0 TFSI® engine that features the innovative new Audi cylinder on demand. This ensures  that during partial load C15operation, only four of the eight cylinders are used – without you noticing the difference. The engine always runs smoothly and powerfully, but it uses less fuel and emits less CO. 

We describe its mode of operation as ‘intelligent performance’. Audi cylinder on demand selectively closes certain cylinders, two per cylinder bank. As a result the engine runs impressively smoothly even during partial load operation. The deactivation depends on several factors: the revs are between 960 and 3,500, the engine temperature must be at least 30 °C and you must be in at least third gear. If you do not need the full power of eight cylinders, the Audi valvelift system closes the intake and outlet valves and switches off the injection and ignition of the corresponding cylinders. This means that neither is air taken in and fuel injected, nor is exhaust gas emitted. In other words; the consumption and emission values are noticeably improved.Thanks to its very spontaneous responsiveness and exceptional power delivery across the entire engine speed range, the 8-cylinder engine promotes an impressive driving style.

High on safety.

Airbags

Full-size airbags for driver and front passenger; in conjunction with ISOFIX child seat mounting for the front passenger seat including  deactivation switch for front passenger airbagsupplement the side impact protection in the doors.

Tyre pressure monitor display

Monitors the air pressure set in the tyres and the tyre temperature throughout the journey, also works with winter wheels delivered by Audi; air pressures and temperatures of the individual tyres can be displayed in the MMI system.

Electronic Stabilisation control (ESC)

With sport mode, can be deactivated in 2 stages; networks the ABS, EBD, ASR and EDL with its own sensors and compares the driving data with reference data; provides better stability through targeted braking of individual wheels and intervention in the engine management system.

Start - Stop system

Start-stop system helps to reduce fuel consumption and CO  emissions by switching o  the engine in stationary phases, e.g. at traffic lights. The start process is initiated as soon as the foot brake is released when moving o  again. Can be deactivated via a button at any time.
