Audi RS7 Performance - Everything YOU wanted to know ! (Collaboration Review)

It was a privilege to have this car in my life for a week. I asked you what you wanted to know and had an overwhelming response. This review is not only my thoughts on this super sportback but also those of my subscribers. I am sorry if your suggestions didn't make it to the final cut...there were too many to include all of them.
A huge thanks to Audi UK for letting me have access to this amazing car for a week. I got a real feel for it and really didn't want to give it back !

This is one of the best rs7 video on youtube you show a lot of things other videos about those cars don't. I especially loved the bicycle part

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks mate. That was the idea so I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@davantedawson2635]

Me personally, I like the traditional cockpit over the virtual ones in the newer Audi's. Some things are better left unchanged. Just my opinion though

[@jamescampbell1743]

Davante Dawson yes! Thank you

[@hamzasbai3831]

One of the most Beautiful and sexiest cars ever made

[@PetrolPed]

Goes well too !

[@_xenovortex_5870]

The m6 gran coupe beats it in the looks department

[@bestman81]

@@_xenovortex_5870 that's your opinion for me I'll take this Rs7 at anytime

[@wrestlem8]

Yes beautiful car I bought the baby sister Audi A7 Bi turbo 3-00 V6 bi turbo

[@GCD8]

on the basis of this video I bought a 2016 RS7 Performance and after the Apple Carplay update I just love it.

[@mansbre]

I won't ever buy the car, but how refreshing to see a real world review for everyday drivers. Things like 'will a bike fit' are far more important to a lot of people, than how the car will react in driving conditions I'd never experience. Well done 👍🏻

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@B4R0N.]

This is actually my favorite Audi. Maybe because I was shocked by the speed when I rid in one. And also because there are so few and that they look so good.

[@PetrolPed]

I really didn't want to give it back !

[@shahibshah5295]

The best car review i have ever watched. As im contemplating buying an rs7 this has made my decision easier thank you very much. An fingers crossed il be driving my own rs7 very soon

[@PetrolPed]

Wow, thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

[@mattylf1]

Great video and thanks for answering my question. I like the format where you take questions on things that people want to know, rather than the same format as all the other videos out there. It looks like a mega car, nice colour as well 👍

[@PetrolPed]

I wasn't sure of the format would work but people seem to like it :-)

[@DaRulerMM]

I follow 15-20 car review channels. Just became one of my favorites. This is a really honest and down-to-earth review for everyday drivers! Really well done and you got yourself a new subscriber

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Milan, that's kind of you to say and welcome to my channel :-) I have the new RS4 next week and will be doing another collaboration review :-)

[@bestman81]

Well done Pete. Most generalist are quick to say Audis understeer when they haven't pushed it hard to experience that . I salute you for telling the truth that it doesn't unless you are going at ridiculous speeds around corners. .

[@frasermacleod7642]

Fantastic review! Thanks for this great insight into a totally amazing car. Loved the format and hope you get more opportunities like this.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Fraser. I will be working for longer access from now on as this format seems to be really popular :-)

[@nickhorton4432]

What a superb review Pete, quite possibly your best yet, great to see how you've developed as a KZbinr, you certainly have a very relaxed and authoritative style now. Many thanks for yet another excellent upload!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Nick, that is very kind of you to say :-)

[@jamienicol6743]

Im lucky enough to have owned an RS7 Performance since early 2017 and I must say of all the reviews I have seen yours is the best.Having lived with the car for over a year I totally agree with all your observations. It is an amazing car!

[@PetrolPed]

Wow thanks Jamie. Glad you enjoyed it and you are a lucky guy owning one. I loved it 👍

[@turnoff7572]

Hey, do you still own it and how is it 4 years later?

[@robertlaing2061]

Very good video. The 16’/17’ RS7 performance is going to be my next purchase. Your video answered all of my questions. Well done sir.

[@dqb29]

Drove back from Birmingham in a “more spirited fashion” 😂 cracking review buddy!

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers D. I was a VERY good drive back. Certainly kept me awake !

[@harveytownshend7158]

just watched this review .... best review ive seen on this car by far ..thankyou your review answered all the questions i wanted to know .... now time to find the right one for me .. many thanks :)

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 👍

[@CARKO]

Great video Ped! Been waiting for this all week! What a stunning car!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Buddy. It was a long edit :-)

[@mutkank005]

Pete, Excellent review, loved the collaboration - for me not likely being able to own or drive this car I feel thanks to you I know it well enough anyway as if I test drove it. Will keep an eye out for more quality reviews from you Thank you

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Matty. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I too will not be able to afford one of these but my hope is that I can bring the experience of driving and owning to you guys. Let's both keep doing the lottery and you never know ;-)

[@paiso26]

Finally a guy who knows what he is talking about and answered more of the questions that I had and was lacking from other videos

[@PetrolPed]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it and liked the format :-)

[@ginggur17]

Bloody brilliant review Peter! One of your best to date. You have captured the essence of those cars top dollar, knowing them as I do.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Buddy...it took some filming and editing !

[@aistis72]

ginggur17 rear diffuser looks slim compared to rs6, all Rs7 looks like woman slim and so on, no wider arches nothing, look at rs6 it’s another story, wide body, muscle arches and brutal diffuser

[@chrissharman9169]

Great interactive review of a stunning car Pete. Won’t be changing my RS3 for one though as the Audi I am looking forward to is the new RS4 Avant to be released. Hope Audi Uk lend you one for a review!!!

[@PetrolPed]

I am so excited about the RS4. Hopefully Audi will like what I've done with this film and let me have a go !

[@ChrisFEJackson]

Any driving enthusiast at any level, whether sticking to a brand or not should find this review as excellent as I did. Independent, honest and very enthusiastically presented. It's how it should be done. Somehow I felt I have now driven the car myself, thanks Peter! Finally one word.....'Benchmark' :)

[@PetrolPed]

Wow Chris, thanks for such a great comment. I am chuffed you enjoyed the review and felt like you came along for the ride. Cheers Ped :-)

[@Doublecross]

This is one of the best reviews i have seen on cars... amaizing job. Keep up the good work and thank you for this. I will like to see a review like this in Audi RS6. Pace

[@adamwest9004]

Hi Pete... that was a great review, like the general questions from everyone. It certainly helps if you was going to buy one.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Bud. Wasn't sure the format would work but I think it did in the end :-)

[@wiiori4618]

Got just a third into the review to know this was a legitimately good review. Thanks!!

[@PetrolPed]

Wow thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@samdog7777]

I like that you answered questions about the car which is different then most car testers. Thank you for doing that this way.

[@PetrolPed]

My pleasure Sam. I try and do it if I get a car for long enough. Tune in on Monday at 6pm as I have the brand new RS4 and I am doing another collab review. I'll be asking what you want to know so you can join in :-)

[@MoHeidariFar]

Thanks for the video mate the Q&A format works well and makes it informative.

[@PetrolPed]

That is great to hear Mohammad, glad you enjoyed it

[@rickymills8612]

Another cracking review! Thank you sir! What a car!

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Ricky, I'm glad you enjoyed it and yes it was rather good :-)

[@dcfella3]

This review was definitely informative and interesting. I am in the market of a s8 or rs7 and this really helps my decision making process. One of the best reviews on KZbin! Great job

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@turnoff7572]

What did you decide to buy?

[@geofo60]

Probably one of if not the best review I've seen from you Peter. The Q&A format was excellent. So many "reviews" seem to be based on the opinion of the reviewer ( that sounded grammatically clumsy !). I have to confess that I'm not a huge fan of Audi, not that there's any one thing that makes me make that statement (horses for courses), but, this one caught my attention. Something for just about everyone, well designed, quality materials, great tech' & overall, very appealing to the eye. Nice one . Cheers, Geof

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Geof. I wasn't sure the format would work but the feedback I have received overnight makes me think it has :-) I appreciate Audis aren't everyones cup of tea, but there is no doubting how well made this car is and how good its performance pedigree is.

[@timfuriel3226]

Cheers for the video, really enjoyed it. I've got the S7 and will probably move up to the rs7 in a couple years, so was good to see a real world review about it.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Tim 👍

Great video. Answered questions mainstream drivers would like to know. Great presenter too. Colour is fab. Considering buying the S7 as can't stretch to RS7. Answered some questions I had. Excellent review.

That is great to hear Nick. I bought a TTS as I could quite stretch to the TTRS and we have an S4 as we couldn't quite stretch to the RS4. Both cars are awesome and don't disappoint :-)

Really enjoyed your review, more down to earth than other reviewers who see themselves as the fountain of all motoring knowledge, I would really like to see you review the BMW M6 & the new version of the Porsche Panamera Turbo S, as these two, I feel are the direct competitors to the Audi RS7, which is my bestest car at the present mo! Good job dude! 👍🏽

[@jonathanforlin1854]

Beautiful car. I lived in an 06 Audi TT225 for 8 months with my gf and cat, I had it stage 2 tuned. Perfect hatch style for car camping. Currently we live in a 16 VW GLI, it doesn't suit car camping as well as the TT did. I attribute this to the trunk vs hatch, we struggle with humidity more in the GLI. Also this car is stage 2 tuned, i also always change the control arm bushings to polyurethane plus geometry correction bushings. Get heavier steering, nice turn in and return to center. Planning to buy and move into a RS7, stage 2 tune gets you over 700hp and its got the HATCH! Carlife cause campers are slow.❤
