    Audi really owns this segment right now. You see both BMW and MB copying some of Audi's tech (such as AWD) and styling cues just to stay close. But overall, the 7 series line-up can't be matched right now. The RS7 is a beast!

    Aside from the amazing overall package this car is, what really makes it awesome is that you can put all the power down every time without issues thanks to AWD and an auto trans. That means your grandma could achieve these times if she wanted to. There are some 2wd exotic supercars out there that have a better power to weight ratio than this car and may be faster at much higher speeds, but from 0-X in everyday driving or at the 1/4 mile drag strip, they'll be left in the dust everytime.

    As an owner of an Audi A7 - Daytona Grey Metallic, prestige package, and 20 inch sports package. This dude is speaking the truth about Audi's engineering dominance. The RS7 is the best car out there pound for pound. If you want a pretty, elegant, and feminine interior: Go get a Mercedes. Even Mercedes is switching over to the Audi "James Bond" interior styling. Just like they stole Audi's LED language. You've to admire well crafted suits to understand Audi's interior theme. Ever car maker bow down to Audi's engineering dominance.

    • @powerofpinesol8002
      @powerofpinesol8002 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My point exactly, Audi will soon be the best car company for its engineering dominance. They continue to innovate and bring world class luxury cars. One great example is the S class and the A8. For me I would pick the A8 because it fits me better than the S class which is also more expensive and to me, the S class interior is pretty over rated. Yeah its nice but I prefer Audi's design. Just exactly the same with this and the CLS. That's truly a feminine car while this looks like something right out of an action movie..... Terrific job Audi!

    I have had AMGs in the past and have an M6 and a Lotus now...A friend of mine recently bought one and brought it to our monthly cars and coffee and I couldn't sing it praises enough...Build quality was top notch and of course as much performance as you could want...My only negative, and it's a value judgement, is the exterior is not spectacular...The M6 Gran Coupe right now to me is the best looking sedan out there. Well done Audi.

      vivalaphill All 4 wheels loses grip when it roll to steep and if the AWD send too much power to the front, the car will push even harder. To drive an Audi fast, they must enter corner as fast as possible to slide the rear to avoid understeer.

      LAUNCH CONTROL 東瀛戰神 walter roehrl said ones "langsam rein schnell raus" for ddriving a quattro fast which means slow in fast out. turn in carefullly and then just floor it out of the corner to let the AWD pull you out of the corner.

    As good as this car is it does leave a lot on the table. The wheels are too heavy, the tires are not grippy enough, the exhaust is too quiet and the engine is massively detuned. With an engine tune (you get more than 100 extra HP out of this BTW), light weight wheels, PSS tires and any kind of non-resonated sport exhaust this car goes from great to mind blowing. I have never seen any kind of head to head review where the M, RS and AMGs are compared once bolt on upgraded, I would love to see that.

      I've owned many Dodges. Love em. Grew up with them. But I also grew up with VWs, and have owned many VWs as well. Currently I drive a 2010 S5.
      Let me put it this way, loving both brands (VW/Audi and Dodge)...
      Dodge's interiors are sloppy heat-lamp cheeseburgers compared to Audi's melt-in-your-mouth medium rare top sirloin.
      There is no comparison. Not even close. Dodge (and even Ford or Chevy) interiors are pure plastic rattling throw away garbage compared to an Audi's.
      But that's also where the cost differences come in.
      My father-in-law's 2013 Shelby Cobra GT500 is an astonishing, spine shattering machine...but the interior is atrociously cheap.
      It's trying to do heart surgery with a rusty hammer, while an Audi uses a titanium scalpel.
      Again. I love Dodge and VW/Audi.

      Love the AMG, but the Audi is much more attractive, has a nicer interior (by far), more rear seat room, more trunk space, better gas mileage and is more practical. I haven't seen an AMG beat this car yet in any category.

      The E63 AMG S bested the RS7 on the track in Car and Driver's Lightning Lap last month by 3 seconds. The RS7, despite being 200 hp more powerful, just beat the CLA45 AMG by 2 seconds. I would expect that the updated CLS63 AMG S to perform as well as, if not better, than the E63 did. Granted looks are subjective, but I'd easily choose the CLS and 6 GC both interior and exterior designs.

    • @jtafoya88
      @jtafoya88 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You said it bro, check the CLS63 "S" AMG on the motortrend channel, it has the same performance as a 911 Carrera 4S and it matches the speed of the SLS, Audi doesn't stand a chance, in a comparison between it and the BMW M6 GC the RS7 was faster than the M6 but it wasn't as fun to drive, I don't know what's going on with Audi their just getting boring to drive, the RS5 also pailed in comparison to the C63 AMG 507 coupe on the MotorTrends channel. Aside their exterior styling they're behind Benz and BMW. Also this guy hasn't seen the interior of the CLS63 S AMG it looks more expensive than this RS7. senorgato70

      Thanks! I'll have to check out the motor trend review. I'm subbed to that channel but don't remember seeing that one. Speaking of the RS5, I'm surprised that it has less torque than the S5 supercharged 6.
      And I agree on the interior. Audi interiors are very nice, but they're very unemotional. I currently drive an Audi and just never really feel inspired inside it.
