2016
Audi RS7 Performance
The
whole point of the new 2016 Audi RS7 Performance is directly in its name, and
the Four Rings now claims 605 horsepower from its 4.0-liter twin turbo V8. The engine's torque now 553
lb-ft during the temporary overboost function. An eight-speed automatic gearbox
still sends power to the front and rear through the Quattro all-wheel drive
system. The results of all these upgrades are a sprint 0-60 mph in
3.6 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph.
The
RS7 Performance is about more than just power, Audi also fits carbon ceramic
brakes and an RS Sport Suspension with Dynamic Ride Control. The exterior also
sees some minor tweaks that include a restyled rear diffuser, new 21-inch
wheels, black tailpipes, and a gloss black grille. RS sport seats come standard
inside.
The
RS7 Performance arrives at Audi dealers in December and prices start at US$ 129,925 (after US$ 925 for destination).
