2022 Audi RS7 Quick Review // Blurring The Lines

The 2022 Audi RS7 ($130,000 as specced, ~$122,890 USD) has a lot to boast about. It has elegant yet bold styling, a 3.6 second 0-60 time, and a meaty twin turbo V8 with 591 horsepower. It also has a slew of technological features. This includes the Audi virtual cockpit and signature light show which is displayed by the front and rear LEDs everytime the car is locked or unlocked. But tech and boasting aside, how does the RS7 perform as an everyday commuter? And is it able to handle some spirited driving on a twisty canyon road? Watch to find out what the guys think!

"is that a drone? are you increasing the production of extra throttle house?" "i would never" just can't resist making all of your content great, can you?

[@-_--le3zk]

I am tired of them increasing quality day by day,bring back 2008 web cams man

the drone footage is to offset the potato camera quality

I think the RS5 coupe is the best looking Audi car. Though they all looks the same due to sharing the signature design of Audi

[@dickfuckmcguff7640]

Are you kidding? This new one is ugly as fuck compared to the previous model. It’s slightly too thick it looks awkward. The headlights on this car particularly look absurdly cheap. It looks like Volkswagen cc or some shit in this video

I recommend trying a home grown Dore' potato, in a smashed variety. I hear they provide nice a bokeh affect when seasoned properly

Love you guys. Keep doing what you do.

[@aidan666]

Completely agree on the synthetic feeling of modern German v8s. The Mercedes 4.0 especially with its perfectly timed computerized pops and bangs. Takes some of the rawness and fun out of v8s and makes me prefer American v8s with more character

[@AeroQuattro]

if you think the 63's are synthetic, drive a a/cla35 and tap the throttle as you decel, it'll backfire in the same exact pattern and tone every single time.

[@AnontheGOAT]

Don’t forget Lexus and their N/A 5.0L V8. 😉

[@f4tpie]

It’s because of Euro emissions standards

[@l8rn3rds]

super hot take but i HATE the sound of amg engines. idk what it is but they sound like a pitch-shifted coffee grinder to me. ive found myself really enjoying the sound of tuned v6s lately so maybe that has something to do with it.

I almost want this same production quality for longer, it was really enjoyable to listen to you casually chat while in a 600hp beast.

I just picked up a used 2019 S5 Sportback (Technik) in Glacier white. I wasn’t a fan of the colour but it’s now grown on me. The chrome accents are toned down with the colour. Splendid car. I happened to park beside an S7 in the precise same colour. I like the S5 proportions better. Tighter looking.

[@timothycoyne5874]

The hustling Honda Fit reminds me...I recently did a motorcycle trip to North Carolina, including doing a couple runs on the Tail of the Dragon. I'm not fast, but reasonably quick on my sporty standard/roadster BMW. I only needed to pull over once for faster traffic to pass me. It was three cars: a Corvette, another car, and a Honda Fit. I'm guessing the Fit was tuned, as it was lowered a bit and had nice aftermarket wheels with wider tires. Still, being passed by a Honda Fit on the Dragon was a little disheartening. :-/

[@harrison4ever125]

"I didn't bring my H-audi hat." 🤣

[@DJMontePGH]

Honda Fit. The 2007 Fit with the right tires was just as good as some super cars of the same year in the slalom test. Even on stock tires they'll do 66mph in a slalom. With good tires one will do 70 mph, matching the Modena of that time.

[@jodyjo_gd3]

I love my 07 Fit on the track. I can keep up with a lot of different cars in the corners. The straights? Not so much.

[@DJMontePGH]

@@jodyjo_gd3 I miss mine. It was orange so naturally I called it the Flying Pumpkin. I have an 18 Forte5 sx now which is much faster but not as good in the canyons as the Fit was. There is a guy out here in Phoenix who canyon carves with his.

How does the RS7 compare the the M550i? On paper they're very similar, but the M550i is significantly less money... which is why I bought (leased) one.

[@jonathanpinkerton4064]

The e-tron only gets like 220 miles of range, and is much slower lol. This is the obvious choice.

[@dwade3202]

Probably even lower real world range

[@stefanomarcellino6701]

Actually the RS E-tron GT does like 10.5 1/4 mile stock

[@CrazyWeeMonkey]

The E-Tron RS GT is definitely much quicker than the RS7 in a straight line, and might be more fun to drive because of the responsive drivetrain, but it's biggest downside is probably the lack of rear-seat room compared to the RS7. Real world range is (similar to the Taycan) much higher than the EPA figures suggest, and it's high enough to not induce range anxiety unlike the E-Tron SUV.
