New Audi RS7 Sportback Review: All Style No SUBSTANCE? | 4K

[@gabrielpaltridge5802]

Out of the all the car channels I watch or have watched (a lot) you are by far the most entertaining presenter. I find with other channels I’m finding a new video after 5 minutes; with you, before I know it the video is over. Impressive. Well done

[@nijohnraju2931]

@gabriel Paltridge Also check out mat watson from carwow. I enjoy both🤗

[@michaellinton4743]

I'm genuinely happy that this car exists and I believe that Audi realizes that like me, not everyone likes a wagon like the RS6 Avant and would prefer the RS7 Sportback instead.

[@richmondvand147]

But doesn' t the (R)S6 just come in 4 door saloon & wagon/estate or is this an alternative to a wagon directly and that this is for people that dont want a saloon?

[@LynxEng]

@@richmondvand147 nope, RS6 only comes in wagon

[@davidg4026]

The RS6 is only "mainstream" to car guys. To the rest of the world, the RS7 is the "mainstream" body style.

He's really coming into his own. Class video from a class act.

[@ssolo6178]

They should have kept him on top gear along with Chris Harris.

[@chrisd6736]

This car looks really does look way cooler than the RS6, IMO. 👀

[@genysmenrunner1677]

Yeah I don’t like hatchback

[@kingston6498]

I agree

[@apilkey]

Chris D meh if the RS6 has the tail lights going all the way across the back like the RSQ8 it would look way better. But you’re comparing two totally different cars. The RS6 Avant is an Estate car or “station wagon.”

[@Thawhid]

@@apilkey exactly

[@chrisd6736]

Aaron Pilkey- reviewer said this car lacked the “cool factor” of the RS6. I strongly disagree.

[@gastonjaguilar5118]

I would take this car over the rs6 all day long. It is a lot prettier. I would also take it over any of its competitors.

[@oppoh739]

Nah, gt63s over this any day

[@roozbehbey]

Although this is a desirable car but If I had that kind of money I'd definitely get the RS6 over this.

[@TimeVigil]

You say you would take this over the rs6, well the rs7 is clearly better, but there are other factors like money, so i would rather go for the rs6 avant and it has more practicality, if money wasnt an option then clearly rs7

[@alancopeland4286]

I drove the previous gen RS7 a few weeks ago and one thing I’ll say is it BLEW my mind the power and how planted it is in comparison to its size and weight is something else an absolutely ridiculous machine I loved it! I do agree it does somewhat fall just a touch short of it’s competitors and is definitely shadowed by the RS6 but man oh man it puts a smile on your face!

One of the best car reviewers! Excellent cinematography, editing and music. Polished presentation everytime. A joy to watch nomatter what you're reviewing 🙏🏾

[@AJ-sp5dh]

Why are people complaining about the 4.9 0-60🤣🤣. You've seen other videos where it does 3.3 so that's irrelevant

Rory is fast becoming my go to guy in the KZbin car videos. Great video ❤️

[@error404blah]

I do prefer the RS7 over the 6...

[@audemarspiguet2722]

Love the design of the RS7. However, I’d still go for the RS6 for its iconic status and better practicality.

[@ATKL-ul4vz]

Most people would go for the RS6 because it is practical, fast and it's an estate.The RS7 is created for the niche market of people who want the sportback looks and everyone should have already known that a sportback style will not have the practicality of an estate, so comparing the RS7 to an RS6 is just wrong. The RS7 is created for a different purpose!

[@Ettzil]

I think it is still a great daily, but of course if you have a family of 4 or 5 the RS6 is more practical.

[@abassi1173]

Great review as always Rory! Gotta love the lines on the A7...one of the best looking mass produced cars for sure

[@kau54r]

Loving these new internationally shot videos. Along with Rory and the picturesque views, brings the review to life. Keep it up!

Now a year later from release of this masterpiece from Rory and I still can't find better intro than this, it gets me every time

[@ghost_lukh]

Will take this over RS6

[@paulbentley2709]

So much better now he doesn't have to follow the Top Gear moronicness which the current employees of that show excel in (rendering the show a tragic no view). Camon, the RS7 best looking luxury coupe GT on the road, blended with best tech.

@7:47 you can see the tire moving in and out of the rim and also the steering of the wheel. Amazing.

[@troll2637]

If the tire moves outta the rim, it's bad.

Rory, completely echo other comments. I’ve actually stopped caring what car you’re reviewing, because I’m enjoying the video that much.

[@d1sturb3d119]

What does launch it well even mean? I get that you're saying it well outside of what is claimed. But as a driver, you put it in the mode and mash the pedal. What else can you do to make it launch better?

Lovely rundown Rory. I really love the RS7s. I'm getting one for myself (Had to toss with BMW M5). Cool selection of tracks as well. Kudos!!

[@marky0071]

Excellent job Rory, the footage in these uploads is superb. That’s what make them so good, presenter AND camera operator!!

[@TFQ1]

Even the new BMW M8 started over shadowing this gorgeous looking car, this is a timeless design trust me on how this car will still manage to look good in 10 years of time like it's old RS7 did.

[@swanblake]

I actually like the looks of the prior gen RS7 more. This looks cartoony and way too busy

[@nunyabusiness2007]

Pre-facelift is my favourite, the facelift of the previous gen looked a bit gawky to me. The power increase was nothing to sneeze at (up to 440kw for the Performance) but I feel the earlier models had more cohesive styling.
