The next-generation Audi RS7 has been spied testing
in Marin County, California by Carscoops reader Robert van Gool. The new RS7 is
thought to be a couple of years away but we do know it will be based around the
latest-generation A7 expected to be unveiled next year.
The Sportback design of the
existing RS7 has been retained for the new vehicle but we can see a pair of
sharper headlights which will sit alongside the brand’s refreshed grille
design.
The prototype pictured has a set of large five-spoke
wheels and huge brake calipers that likely clamp down on carbon ceramic discs.
The presence of oval-shaped tailpipes at the rear confirm the vehicle’s
identity as the new RS7 rather than a lesser model.
Limited details about the powertrain for the new RS7
are known but it will probably retain the current model’s 4.0-liter twin-turbo
V8 with a power bump to beyond 600 hp.
