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.
