What is it
The Audi RS7 & RS6 twins are interesting
No more wagon E63…incoming 4 cyl
Never been wagon M5 here in US
But this 7 has tapered liftback
The RS6 comes only in wagon
Fast and loud
Thing is quick and sounds epic
Wing
Deployable at certain speed
Manual
Quattro
Awd std of course
Dynamically well balanced but not as wild
Suspension
Air susp as std
Very stiff in sport
Soft and comfy in comfort
The audi way
Wheels
22 in, weirdly part of black optics
Noticeably not black
Says audi sport on rim
Red RS brakes
Black optics
Black logos, trims, details
Trunk
As mentioned this brings liftback practicality
Trunk space is enormous
HUGE fan of this
First gen RS7 one of my fav cars
If you need more trunk space get the RS6
Rear seats
Very spacious
Excellent diamond stitching
4 zone climate
Heated seats
Light up seatbelt ports
Front seats
Heated
Cooled
Massage option
Lighting
Headlights and taillights
Animations
Digital matrix?
Interior lighting
Ambient light is very geometric
Not as showy as MB
More of an accessory than main feature
Cabin design
Very familiar Audi
Same as SQ7, RSQ8, RS6, etc
Excellent built
Exquisite materials
Exposed carbon fiber
Key
Dedicated RS key
Unlike BMW M cars with simple M colors on them
AMGs get unique keys too
Key hole in cupholder
Cluster
Virtual cockpit is still great
Infotainment
Gets dual screen setup

Lower is climate and comfort
Steering wheel
