What the Critics Say
"When the traffic clears, thrust from the V8 is immediate, linear and monstrous, with peak torque kicking in from just 2,050 rpm. On speed-limit-free sections of the Autobahn, the RS7 is hilariously quick to achieve velocities you'd otherwise only explore on a racetrack, doing so with rock-solid stability and surprisingly little wind noise." -- Roadshow by CNET
"The RS7 Sportback had proven impressive in its abundant and refined power delivery, pleasant ride, and cornucopia of features. Outrunning noise, fuel-economy, and speed restrictions and outmaneuvering anarchists in it is no problem." -- Automobile Magazine
What's New for 2026
With the discontinuation of its A7 and S7 counterparts, the high-octane Audi RS 7 remains the last of its kind for the 2026 model year. Although the new model year is essentially a carryover year, there are two small updates to the RS 7 that we’d like to mention. First, all RS 7 models now come standard with Audi Signature Care scheduled maintenance. Second, buyers can now opt for new blue-painted brake calipers for the 2026 model year. Act fast! This could very well be your last chance to own this thrilling high-performance model.
