RS7 will be my next car , need it to depreciate a few more years though (i'm not poor but not $70k-$100k rich) ..have lots of other toys too, boats , snowmobiles , quad , etc... ..this video though kinda makes me still feel good about my RS6 which is decatted and has a 17 psi "93" tune , wagner SMIC's ..i hit 60mph in 3.8 secs , 11.50 1/4 .. bought it with 80k miles 5 yrs ago for $14k (usd) ..has 176k now and has been very cheap and easy to own .Also have a "Level 10" torque converter..would have more miles but i have a stage 3 '01 2.7 , 6spd A6 for winter duty (it's unstoppable in deep snow here in northern michigan) it went from 148k miles when i bought it 5 yrs ago to 228k now .. also no issues until this winter , i'm driving the R car this winter because the A6 needs an alternator and i'm being cheap..lol ..also our winter started out lame until 3 weeks ago so was no need to fix the A6.. i'm impressed as hell with the snow my RS6 goes through with just general g-max tires ..over a foot a couple weeks ago and a buddy got stuck in my driveway in his grand cherokee , i drove right out without even spinning the tires..lol .. but my old RS6 is still a great car and i still love driving it just as much as i did when i bought it

The 2022 Audi RS7 is my all-time dream car. Always loved the pseudo-"fast back" look. I definitely agree: It fits a refined gentleman. A very wealthy man took me for a ride in his 2022 RS7 with only 700 miles on it after doing some work on his house. He RIPPED that thing around corners at incredible speeds and it felt so comfortable and handled it with ease. The interior is also extremely high quality. One of the best days of my life. I couldn't control my happy laughter as he launched that thing all over the streets. His was the top-model. The newer model also has electric motors for launch control and a smooth boost which gaps the miniscule turbo lag.
