2014 Audi RS7 Quattro - First Drive Review - In Depth

Autosavant.com's Kevin Gordon recently had the chance to attend the launch event for Audi's 2014 RS7. Here he gives his impressions of the 2014 Audi RS7 from the road and walks through the details of what makes this a very special sedan.

This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen. Very professional and informative.

[@SykPaul]

who wears a watch on the right hand?

[@jeebus2121]

Left-handed people normally.

[@Lee_myles]

SykPaul you are so right lol

[@JR-ii4lq]

Superb review, the right amout of detail and opinion, very well done.

[@prettyfairworldbro]

great review, my 2015 gets delivered tomorrow, very excited!

[@bobimarkers3657]

Stop lifting and pushing the gas pedal. Can't you keep your foot on the pedal constantly without lifting and pushing it every 3 seconds on the straight line? If you cannot, just use the cruse control. You are torturing the car. It is making a wired, uneven engine sound.

[@Autosavant]

It is around the red rock canyon and blue diamond, NV.

[@LittleMac07]

I wonder how it handles around town, how it feels on the highway, can it be a daily driver or is it another track day car you can drive on the street. One might think a technology/engineering obsessed person could mute the GPS. A real review should give the driver an idea of what it feels like, not how many valves are open, how the turbo is placed or .... Just tell the public how it feels across the spectrum, 18-1, 16-1 means nothing to anyone. No info you gave me was worthwhile on my opinion of what to buy.

You have not reviewed the 2016+ S6 , its engine tune is diff then the S7 . Its in between the S7 and Rs7 a very unique car. Please review

Lmfao

[@Autosavant]

Yes it is. I wouldn't wear anything else.

[@clock959]

so the RS7 is sold in north America but the RS6 is not?

[@19891441]

This review is weird you were suppose to get out of the car and show us 360 degree of the car,everything,from seats,gadgets,trunk everything physically not talking while you driving,next time try thet and your sound is not HQD,your sound is echo we cant hear the full throttle of the engine,but the car is nice though and your jacket

[@neilmcmahon]

why are we watching the reviewer talk about the car rather than watching the car with his voice (over). Gives good detail but that is about it. Terrible review overall, sorry to say :(

[@VincentVery]

Incredibly informative, thank you very much Kevin. The amount of technology in that car is just incredible. One could spend days reading about the engine and suspension. I love the sound of that twin turbo :-)

[@Autosavant]

Give me a price range and I'll give you an answer.

[@NothingNowhere4]

Kevin, is that a G-Shock Aviator series watch?

[@maxywaxymus]

The one flaw I notice with Audi is they make their paddle shifters turn with the steering wheel. It makes way more sense to have them stay in the same place as one turns the steering wheel. This is fine for the Audi A's but for the RS where they focused more on sport this is a bit off.

[@eisenherz188]

He is a real savant - he knows his s**t he talks about. Very informative and no bla bla bla like in almost all other car channels.

[@Lil_eee]

I live in Miami we don't need good steering it for corners because most of the roads are straight

[@dwl231]

What road is that going through all those rock cuts?? I need to head west and drive on that thing if I can find it! Great review as always, too.

[@Daiymian]

Sick Car and even sicker flat matte grey paint. /drool

[@FortuneSeek3rz]

Is that Daytona Gray? Just a beautiful car from bumper to bumper.

[@NothingNowhere4]

Nice timepiece. I own a few G's myself. I'm going to snag an Aviator model on Ebay. (:-D).

[@dineshd1793]

One of the few journalists that knows technical details really well. Loved the factoids between s7 and Rs7!

[@3crashtest3]

Great review! You do a great, thorough job and really give us a good idea of the different aspects of the car.

[@wallienewen3446]

your review makes the car sound boring.

[@AlexanderRamsey]

Thanks for the info about the new suspension, really cool!

[@justintimeforbrownies5246]

giggle-able

[@Autosavant]

Correct.

[@iphonephone6495]

Boring Review for such a great car.

[@Veyronp87]

glad they're bringing at least one RS product to the US

[@elusivellama]

Excellent review as always.
