I meant to say it’s a 4.0 V8 TT! 😅

[@willmurkette7725]

Carbon ceramic brakes are an option on this car. Yes they squeak a lot, but no brake dust and crazy stopping power. And they last 200k miles. The VW group does a great job on their brakes.

[@milkofthepuppy]

100% correct but I hate the noise on my TT RS I can’t lie about that outside of that though perfection!!!!!

[@rickmcdowell9550]

I have been looking for a nice 1 or 2 year old RS7 for awhile -- enjoyed your video about your "likes" and "dislikes" -- enlightening.

[@LextasyNation]

Thank you Rick! It’s a great vehicle. Did have a few issues already I’m going to go over soon.

[@Rayflames4ever]

You forgot nr6.. that when they break down you basically have to pay another rs7 in parts to get it fixed

[@ovivisan100]

Hey, nice review! as an owner of a 2015 rs7 i can tell you that there is a way to program the little button on the left next to your volume controls that allows you to skip to the next song. Just check in the infotainment menu and you should be able to find in quite easily! great car btw!

[@LextasyNation]

Thanks for the info bro! What color is your RS7?

[@ovivisan100]

Lextasy i have a black Rs7 Performance:)

[@ovivisan100]

BeastlyS7 car is running 605 hp and 750 nm stock from audi. No modifications have been made.

[@ovivisan100]

BeastlyS7 the car has been developed for Soccer Player Ralf Fährmann from FC Schalke in Germany and is a 1:1 piece. Audi has developed the software for the car in house and thats how it came from factory. Came with a different exahust system (stock from audi) with more pops and bangs

[@ovivisan100]

BeastlyS7 because its a 1:1 piece

[@SquatSimp]

Honest review-- I appreciate it

[@LextasyNation]

Thanks man

[@L8R-HP]

You can probably code the spoiler with a scan tool to stay up. 🤔

[@LextasyNation]

Need to find someone who can do that for sure

[@primesoodangerous3641]

Very beautiful machine in Quattro I believe congrats bro keep up the good work god bless

[@LextasyNation]

Thank you! I forgot to mention that 😂

[@Tamimman]

Damn, you got a RS7 as well!!! Nice. I wish I could get a S5 here someday! 😍

[@LextasyNation]

Keep hustling bro!

[@waynep8709]

Your dislikes are spot on! I own a 2016 RS7. So frustrating...

[@LextasyNation]

Welcome to the channel!

[@affendibaharin7863]

Totally agree with your words❤

[@vince99frc]

Thanks for sharing. I am eyeballing the RS7 or the S8. I am 6 foot 7.

[@emoney9295]

Love the look but it does lack a few basic things. $130 that ish should drive itself 😊

[@philcor-3562]

You should drive the Audi to BMW and ask to drive new M5.... hey I like Audi also but BMW did its homework on new M5

[@LextasyNation]

Great idea! I’ll have to track one down

[@CryptoDad83]

I had such a bad experience with BMW, I'm allergic to it now. I'm getting RS7 even tho i can get an M5...

[@devindavis846]

Actually there is a button to keep the wing up.

[@petermad152]

1 thing I hate personally is that audis DO NOT hold their value. As great as the RS7 is their value from a 2017 model being purchased today is almost 50% off its original MSRP price.

[@LextasyNation]

very true, even the new body style ones

[@mholmes9262]

Timeless beauty.

[@davidbee7060]

Audi r8 without a v10

[@Shant2]

You can skip the song , need to edit from menu to add that shortcut key for skip songs

[@Mische2k]

I have the same problem with the spoiler with my Audi RS5. It is just stupidly programmed. Maybe there is a way to recode it?

[@LextasyNation]

I’ve asked around nothing available yet

[@TheRustyCracker]

When am i driving this German beast?

[@LextasyNation]

Say the word and I’ll drive to FL if I have to lol

[@mikeabel7577]

Damn, my RS5 coupe has more trunk space than the RS7. That's surprising.

[@LextasyNation]

True!

[@nickjohnson8098]

Bag it so it sits on the ground!!!!! Haha love it!!

[@LextasyNation]

That would be sick! Lol

[@Ace-dh5lz]

You can do that from factory from an app on your phone to air out

[@texer7674]

I must say you have a lot of stupid complaints. But you have an rs7 one of my many dream cars..so i respect you

[@DaleK828]

Are you going to race the gtr on a drag strip when they open back up. It would be cool to see the 1/4 mile times.

[@LextasyNation]

There may or not be a GTR event coming up May 31 at a drag strip that I’m going to 🤫

[@Dave-jv3th]

Stock exhaust? Can you fit a bike (or 2) in the trunk?

[@LextasyNation]

Modified exhaust and maybe one bike max, the rear hatch window will make everything tight

[@blackfalcon6.45]

Beautiful car till you said 130,000! I could buy a hellcat and a decent new suv for winter driving. Dodge really needs a awd system like audi to compete in future this cars are blowing off line like a Tesla . If i made 3 times what i do id get one probably to. Im curious if these cars are gonna go 200,000 miles like Honda’s or Toyota’s. Ive seen one rs7 on street in lincoln now i know why, with tax that car is more like 140,000. You get a 1/4 time yet im curious im sure its got to be in 10’s. Enjoy man it is a bad ass four door.

[@jesserivera5722]

130,000 Is What Is Was Brand New. It’s Depreciated By Atleast Half And Some Below Depending On Miles

[@milkofthepuppy]

If you spend that on a dodge and it ain’t a VIPER you’re not doing it right I promise you!!! Sorry buddy hellcats ain’t crap lol!! Also the money you stage 2 this thing even a decent modified HELLCAT will have issues being faster especially off the line my friend. My TT RS sends them things to the litter box rather quickly and yep it’s a stage 2 no intercooler though. Meep meep 🏎🌬

[@datikochishvili2127]

What is the name of those wheels?

[@LextasyNation]

[@larrysmoove9653]

Can I ask what would you recommend? Hellcat charger get wide body or rs7 ? Or any one ? Help a brother outt

[@LextasyNation]

Depends what you're trying to achieve. Hellcat charger has raw RWD power and a lot cheaper to build. RS7 is a unique car that grabs attention but costs a bit more to work on, but has a ton of torque and one of the best AWD systems out there. I personally think RS7 is a better choice.

[@larrysmoove9653]

Thank you !! I’m jus debating on financing an rs7 or lease the hellcat but haven’t decided , my goal is to have a really fast car along with daily driving , now I know everyone says rs7 but i jus think maybe I should lease the hellcat and wait for the 2020 rs7 to get cheaper over time .

Considering an rs7 or gtr

[@LextasyNation]

Both are great but you'll love the RS7 more

[@MrSamoannn]

Def Rs7. Get a GTR if you have the money to throw to spend for fun.

[@EricnotwithaK]

“ ….. with all that brake dust …. “ You mentioned brake dust as an issue but I find that a little hard to believe since it’s very well known that carbon ceramics produce significantly less brake dust than their steel counterparts. I know this is years ago when you filmed this, but I’m just seeing this now, anyhow if you are/ were experiencing poor performance with your ceramics I would suggest you get that checked b/c I have ceramics and they perform spectacularly. Maybe something happened when you decided to paint your calipers ? Maybe something out of the ordinary happened when you put those 3rd party wheels on ? I don’t know but the ceramics on my 2018 are perfection.

[@Floridathekidd]

$130 Ik where I can get a s7 for $25

[@biggun2313]

Audis are beautiful and well built machines. However, their interior gets nowhere near the interior quality and finish of the Mercedes Benz. I’ve seen a $130k Benz and the interior is extremely luxurious and even the buttons look fancy, unlike the plain black dull typical vehicle buttons on this Audi. Even some high end Ford’s have better finishing touches. That’s what bugs me about Audi interiors, other than that they’re amazing cars.

[@LextasyNation]

I would have to agree with you and I feel like their entertainment system is too confusing. BUT Mercedes depreciate a lot harder than a Audi does

[@biggun2313]

@@LextasyNation not true. I work for a dealer and I have been in the business for a long time. ALL german luxury vehicles depreciate about the same, even cars like Lexus and Audi depreciate hard as well. You will get the same results wether you go Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche etc it doesn’t matter. These types of cars are better for leasing than they are for owning.

[@babyblanco5370]

Audi has updated the quality in the new 2020 rs7 interior looks very modern now compared to 2016 rs7 still a very nice car

[@Jeeper1378]

Its a b*tch magnet #1 😆

"AW-DEE"........Shameful. I can't stand when people pronounce it wrong. Its "OW-DEE" my dude. smh

My German mechanic pronounces it as Aww- Dee. So there’s that.

[@robertlaing2061]

I love mine. I do most of my own maintenance. I have the 2018 Audi RS7 performance prestige with carbon ceramic brakes. The performance model does not have a ride. What the flip between comfort and dynamic is amazing. I have a stage two tune for intake and 3 inch TurboBack Miltex system with a Kyle tunes at TCU and ECU tune my car puts out an estimated. 830 hp. It is a freaking monster I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Please stop with your hands man just talk. I couldn’t make it thru the video because I got tired of dodging your hands.
