The biggest surprise of 2024: Audi RS7 Performance review

Fast Audis can be very hit and miss - my favourite ones all hark from the mid 00s - but this latest iteration of the RS7, called the Performance - is shockingly good. Join me for a full review as I find out how Audi's brought some soul, driving tactility and more to a 2.0-tonne V8-powered hatchback. Yes, it's a hatchback. And it's bloomin' good.

Brilliant fuel consumption for a mean heavy machine like that. Very surprising Great review, Tim

I prefer the looks of the rs7 but practicality of the rs6

Love a fastback! This would look amazing with silver wheels 👀 It’s for cool Dads that want to have fun too! Just like a Zafira VXR 😂

I loved the blue Zafira VXR… and it had silver wheels. Truly the glory days of motoring

It was too warm so I got my moobs out instead, apologies. It shall return!

Safety should be standard across all cars. It beats logic to put a price on side airbags for the back passengers.

latest 3-way race between the gt63s 4matic+, m8 and rs7 performance from carwow was a huge hit, maybe if you could do something similar with full reviews/comparison it would be nice

Man I love your work, first time visiting your channel, awesome review with lots of humor! Keep it up Tim, you got yourself a sub and a like. Too bad Audi is keeping it a bit stingy with (like you said) features standard in a regular VW or €15000 Hyundai. And the lack of side airbags in the back really did disappoint me! That's sort of things BMW usualy does to make you pay extra .... "Oh, you want a steering wheel, well that'll be €5000 extra for the driving package".... Anyway, well done and looking forward more reviews from you. PS: I own a 2016 S8+ in Nogaro blue (the only one in that color in Sweden) with just 20500 miles on it, it's an absolute rocket, I can image how fun that RS7 is :)

Rear curtain airbag is standard and that's used for all safety tests. The side seat ones are the option and limited value if you wear your seat belt. But loved the review

Stunning. Amazing RS7. ❤❤❤❤

@paulwardzynski3265 2 ай бұрын

Great report as always. I can understand the ceramic brakes (the rear discs look tiny compared to the massive front ones) being extra but not the special suspension on such an expensive base price. Even if I started searching down the back of every sofa in Britain tomorrow I would be long dead before I had enough loose change to afford this car. By the way I bet that passing cyclist has reported you to the relevant authority for talking to the engine, so beware of anybody dressed in a white coat!

These days it’s more normal for motorists to talk to their batteries. “Please don’t run out, please don’t run out”

Had to step their game up since they killed the R8. 😂 As a BMW I always liked the RS7(along with the RS5 and RS6) so it’s nice to see it being levelled up like this. 🔥

no Hardon Karmon in this one ?

Great vid. Plus can you give a heads up between the 2024 RS6 and RS7 performance having driven both? Same engine and performance bits, they should be very close other than the weight.

@TimRodieDrivesStuff 2 ай бұрын

I've not driven the RS6 Performance sadly - just the normal one that was out in 2020. Industry colleagues say they feel pretty much the same…

@@TimRodieDrivesStuff Id driven both - have a 24 RS6 perf... they do drive 95% the same, however, the RS6 definitely rotates better- bit like the RS4 handling sweeter than the RS5... Audi just have the wagon down pact. Also the road insulation is better in the 6 as its got properly sealed door seals vs frameless doors in the 7... you have to get the air suspension option though... I had DRC in my last RS6 and it just is too hard for most of your driving needs, where as the air suspension rides like a bentley continental in comfort

@alechopkins6545 2 ай бұрын

Nice. Also looks good (i find the rs6 is a bit overdone on the styling). Still prefer the styling of the C5 RS6, and B7 RS4 where as they look a bit more subtle but still aomthing special with the pumped guards, aluminium mirror covers and oval exhausts but other than thay, quite understated

That steering wheel material will age like milk.

I have the c7.5 and prefer the overall look of mine over this c8. Your car is Ascari Blue, same as mine. I would love to get those wheels in titanium grey but the 22" are an issue on the c7.5. Looking into replicas.

@carguy8270 2 ай бұрын

yeh dont get the air suspension, it makes the car too hard... the turn in is not because of the DRC option, its because the turn in and rack has been changed, new light weight wheels, new light weight diff, new rear diffs - the car is fundamentally different to the old one... I had the old one in DRC and it didnt turn in anywhere near like the new one, on air or drc

@visualaxingofficial Ай бұрын

Do you mean the DRC suspension will make the car ride too hard? The air suspension is extremely smooth.
