The all new Audi RS 7 Sportback

German luxury car manufacturer Audi has launched the all-new Audi RS 7 Sportback in India.

“We are thrilled to launch the new Audi RS 7 Sportback in India – a car that is striking, powerful and is a technological masterpiece,” says Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India. “The V8 twin-turbo 4.0L TFSI petrol heart propels the car to 100kph in a super quick 3.6 seconds. Our legendary quattro all-wheel drive system means you can make the most of the 600hp. I personally love the way the RS 7 sounds and I can’t wait for owners and enthusiasts to experience and hear its V8 growl.”

Sculpted to perfection, the Audi RS 7 Sportback grabs attention wherever it goes. Its broad shoulders and distinctive roofline lend the Audi RS 7 Sportback an athletic stance. With 53.34 cm wheels and RS-specific details such as the oval exhaust pipes and the powered rear spoiler, its visual appeal is greatly enhanced. The new Audi RS 7 Sportback is a technological masterpiece on the inside as well. The driver is at the centre of the action with RS displays for the virtual cockpit (with details of tyre pressure, torque, performance, oil temperature, boost pressure, lap times, acceleration, and G-forces), and a flat-bottomed fully perforated RS Sport leather steering wheel with new large RS aluminium shift paddles, with Audi drive select RS1 and RS2 modes.
