Thanks for watching!
I don't know what is more menacing, the Audi or a giggly-Tedward in the s2000 filling the mirrors 😂
this interior hasn't changed for a long time - but I still consider it class leading
that Bang & Olufsen sound system is pristine wow 🤯
The fact you took a second FROM THE BACK SEAT to look forward at the dash interior and slow-pan across it really serves to signify a more intelligent perspective. well done.
this is my dream car and every time I see one it fills my heart with joy! The nardo grey looks so good!!!!!
I remember seeing the new RS6 a few years ago IRL and the wheels look huge you can't miss it !
Oh Em Gee Nardo. This car is absolutely gorgeous. By now the drivetrain is so well known we shouldn't be amazed at the performance, yet here I am - once again amazed at the performance. Great video - thank you!
5000 pounds is just diabolical. How does something even weight that much at its size lol
Bro have you seen the new M5, I think that’s like 5500 pounds, it’s just insane
well hellcats weight 4500lbs, a porsche taycan is like 5000lbs, the m760i is 6200lbs, the rs6 is like 4900lbs, and the newer m5 is said to be 5300lbs sounds it fits ig😂😂
@@ktb660 Man that's just wild
It’s all those lithium ions my guy.. makes any car heavy
Lotta leather and isolation
18:10 Tedward cracks me up 😂 love his videos 😂
One of my favorite road cars.
So refreshing to see a very smooth display on the dashboard
I am in love with that driver's seat view
👇 dream car button
I like it, but the panamara js my choice
I am more of a S63 manchild, but I love the RS7 too. Got that euro tuner vibe thing
The RS7 is great but it’s gotta be the 911 Porsche by Singer. That’s my dream car.
@@LordStaind 😍😍😍
Just love them but think I love the old body better. Looked more aggressive
For some reason, I like the body style of the last RS7 , looked a little bit more menacing in my opinion
But this is beautiful too
I agree 100% with AutotopNL on this one. Quick setting the AC at 70mph is hazardous. Heavy, solid buttons with a clean click sound is more classy.
The A7’s have always aged the best. Even the previous generations still look fantastic!
This has to be the prettiest sedan on the market....
Honestly
Bro facts
Man I love watching your videos before bed after a long day is like a therapy to me
Even the last generation RS7 is awesome and like 40% less at this point looks like a steal.
Just make sure you have a few $$ in your pocket if something goes wrong.
I have a 2021 Audi RS7 with the Bang and Olufsen Advanced sound system, and I will admit that when I got it, I was surprisingly disappointed in the sound quality. You cannot adjust the mid range, and it sounded muddy and not very clear no matter what music source I used. I found that if you use Spotify premium, which has a built-in equalizer, it completely changes the sound quality of the stereo and really makes it shine. I love the stereo in my RS7, as Spotify and its built-in equalizer transformed it into a completely different - and much better - sounding system in my opinion.
My dream car.... wow! Amazing video to show the class that this car has. Thanks! ❤
Even with the extra weight, Audi still doesn't miss 🎯
Awesome vehicle, but $153K is INSANE... I feel like there were maybe $80K a few years ago. Nuts.
It needs a refresh cant wait to see the new one coming
I was eager to see how the RS7 drives . But I don’t think it’s worth that much money. Is there a conceivable difference between the RS6 and RS7 in handling? Does the sleeker roofline make it a big deal?
Kinda resemblance with the Stinger, beautiful car ever
maybe i wasnt paying enough attention to the rest of the video but tedward randomly showing up had me dyin man lmao
I really wish newer Audi car models would change the excessive piano black plastic into at least at least wood finish or a carbon fiber pattern. The price i’d say perfectly matches with the performance aspect and awesome exterior but…
Yep that stuff scratches if you look at it the wrong way
It's plastic, it's much cheaper. You know, anything for profit
Awesome video as per usual!
I’m actually looking to pick up a new whip and am between this and a 2023 M5 Comp. Note, the Beamer is about 40K cheaper.
I’ve spent allot of time in a model year 22 RS7 and found it lacked any sort of driver feedback. Has that been improved for the performance model?
How does this compare to the M5 from a performance standpoint?
B&W vs B&O?
Great video! The S2000 made it even more amazing and listening to that thing pull was insane!
RS7 is crazy
the top speed is restricted to 155 right? plus you dont get the ceramic breaks right?
Love the vids Chris.
Unpopular opinion: RS7 looks better than the RS6
is there a custom rs mode where you can keep the circular gauges but have everything else?
Love the exterior design of the RS7 ! It just needs some windows tints
My dream car mr topher 🎉❤
what a sexy car, definitely looks better than BMW M5
This sonata looks quite good!!
Cant imagine making the kind of money to buy something like this lol
Lol there are just better alternatives. I mean unless you're looking for power, then you probably would just to feel important. Since Im more into fuel economy and tech,. I might go with hyundai
@@blackgold754He just did a great video on the Genesis G70 which is almost $95,000 cheaper than this. I can’t lie, the RS7 is one of the best looking practical cars we have but the price!!! Crazy.
@@OMGItsBirdmanArchive I will watch that video bit I I won’t be spending so much on genesis lol. They’re good luxury cars but with a bad fuel economy. I was specifically referring to Hyundai sonata limited hybrid where it has luxurious tech but also pretty good balance of 44/51/47 fuel economy. But I’d choose genesis over bmw any day. I’m only thankful for Germans since every time they innovate, Hyundai, Kia and other Asian companies incorporate their innovation into their cars for half the price lol. Look at sonata hybrid for example, a design inspiration from audi
@@blackgold754 not everyone cares about fuel economy. No one is buying a twin turbo v8 and caring about fuel economy. market of cars for everyone out there. you're into fuel economy so for sure this wouldnt be for you.
@@drones9667 that’s what I’m saying man. which is exactly why I love EV sports car and not the gas ones. I see more value in cars that are fuel efficient and also can be abused. (Lucid air sapphire)
In this case, I prefer hybrid over gas with numbers. And a lot of people who buy Audis are gonna be using it as a daily driver anyway so I rarely see value in this when you can just buy it for hybrid. Yes I get people cars like these cuz they don’t care about it gas but my main point is that if they are gonna be using it as a daily driver, might as well just get a sonata hybrid lol. Looks just like this Audi and even better,
That is awesome! The lift back makes it look so cool and so much better than an A6
Awesome review! The weight and price tag alone would turn me to a blackwing or porshe. Just cant see $150k for something like that.
Car favorite 🥰😍
I’m getting this and the genesis gv70, beauties
A man with taste!
@@OMGItsBirdmanArchive 🤝
Audi needs to update their lineup ASAP. The interior customization mainly.
No, they don’t. This is perfect.
@@gullible119 So i can't have my own opinion, i have to follow yours, is this how you think? Pretty cool.
@@SauloMogi u happy now bro, have u seen the 2025, they killed me with that design, might be the ugliest thing ever.
@@irambo9022 Audi disappointing once again, for a total of zero people surprised. Sad =/
A beeautiful car. I have an A7 and I love it. This one would be the dreeam. But I have kids to feed :) .
I love this car
I just want to fulfill a dream of having 2 Audi cars
$150k is crazyyyyy
2024 Hyundai sonata N line POV drive when, I will let you drive mine if you want lmao
I want one it my dream car:(
Always my dream car 🚘
The back end looks like the Lexus IS. I can’t unsee it, not that it’s a bad thing
They should have given the back seats captains chairs.
comfort seats with the Performance model?? just seems wrong lol
I want it so bad omg
Love the car but the claim “it’s almost too fast for the street” is a little extreme lol. You and I both know that 😆 and I’ve seen you drive faster cars from a 0-60 and 1/4 mile time perspective and you didn’t say this. Maybe you’re just having a lot of fun and just say things sometimes because you’re excited? Maybe you can elaborate on what makes the car “too fast for the street” ?
Yeah, that one Mustang video he did- that was “too fast for the street” to the point he couldn’t push it to its limits; this car is definitely not that
@@OMGItsBirdmanArchive it’s an AWD luxury sport sedan with excellent acceleration but “too fast for the street” for an RS7 is a little funny. Yet he drove a 2.9 second 0-60 C8 and kept hitting home to everyone that it’s “just a base model” lol. The C8 is faster than the RS7 in every way and he never said it was “too fast for the street” lol
Honestly most people shouldn't be allowed to drive something this fast.
Would you do this or the amg gt 63s? I love both. In the market for both.
Audi
How does it compare to M5 CS though?
Who is the gray car following you?
Interior is starting to show its age imo
Amazing car. Too many goddamn screens though. I hate the direction that car interiors have gone.
The seats are from the A7. The S/RS models should have unique quilted pattern. Is this car missing an option at that price?
This one has the optional luxury seats (“individual contour seats” which can only come in black) that add a massage feature for the front seats and passenger seat memory. The standard seats are the RS sport seats with the diamond pattern, which are heated and ventilated in the front but no massage. I do not like the way these optional seats look - they don’t look right in such a high performance vehicle. I have a 2021 Audi RS7 with the standard RS sport seats. I love them, including the way that they look, but I do wish they had adjustable headrests. The headrests are fixed in place.
Omg i love it❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
Would you guys rather get this or a rs3?
Lease only, like any Audi. But they’re definitely better than modern BMW or Mercedes
Gorgeous car. What could go wrong with an Audi biturbo V8? When it runs it's the best thing on the road. Out of warranty, well get some rosery beads.
Tedward been squeezing all of the s2k ponys to keep up
Although I'd personally rather have the Honda
Insane car
What is Tom driving when he pulls up to the red light?
honda s2000
Warp speed 9 Mr. Data.
the heavier the sedan the better imo
oh heck yea
A proper German cruise missile.
10:47 236 degree oil temperature and you're not really even pushing it. That's surprising as it's quite high.
Que Deus nos permita realizar esse objetivo...
Looks like a Honda civic :)
Find a R8 next
W vid
that miata just following you lol
its a honda s2000
my boy
I drove the 2022 and was bored driving it, it's the perfect german autobahn car.
The piano black is a no go. I'm not sure how designers keep fumbling this simple choice in materials. Piano black does not belong on any touch points. It's the worse and looks terrible after one year of use.
really no ambient lighting dang
Kinda looks like an accord from the side
1:30that exhaust ahh
I love rs7 but they gotta make the middle seat in the back more accessible that huge transmission tunnel is absurd and like if a 6 foot person is driving another 6 feet person would struggle looking at how little leg room was for him at 5'10
Personally I don't favor this audi interior especially at its price tag. Would rather opt for a BMW M5 instead.
Audi gloss black interior is their biggest problem imo. So plasticky
All that money no way
$155k is a lot of coin for a hatchback
the infotainment is SH1T, i used to sell cars, stuff like x5m/rsq8 and others, the double haptic screen which is in the middle but below windshield is not only not intuitive but also dangerous to operate while driving compared to bmw/asian cars, porsche/audi trying too hard to look different, other than that rs6/rs7/rs5/rsq8 are all amazing
Wow, I guess theyre just giving people what they want. People are obsessed with screens so they put 3 of them in this. Can we get 4 screens in 2025?
Nice car up until 60K miles 😅😂
wow the v8, not a fan of the 4cyls
You can get a normal A7 spec out at around 80K....LOL
Looks like a Taurus.
car Great
you Great
Color ? Very Poorly Picked its like Honda Accord pick dude
❤️God bless me with finances that will make this car 100x affordable to me because it is my dream car.
150k seems a bit steep for me.
Could buy a ct5 v blackwing and a daily
Audi’s biggest problem. Too much for gloss black plastic.
140K $ ??🤣🤣🤣🤣
