The Audi RS7 is a twin turbo V8 MONSTER of a car. With four doors, a nasty engine sound, and luxurious interior it's hard to find anything "wrong" with the Audi RS7. This full bolt on RS7 makes over 600HP to all four wheels and is a force to be reckoned with. So what makes this an all wheel drive Hellcat? Let's go for a drive and find out!

If i had to pick one probably 1st gen Audi RS5
Mine has to be the E60 M5

yes, well the sound of the new EUDM spec RS cars is quite frankly disappointing. You might want to watch the youtube channel Carwow if you want to hear that exhaust noise, or lack of.
Comparing an rs7 to a hellcat is an insult to audis
Y’all love to hate
Its literally a hellcat lil bro chill or go cry me a river 💀
Cry more goof
@@nickdaub3499looks 20 times better than a hellcat lmaoo

Audi’s designs have always pioneered future designs for other brands. This RS7 looks like it just came out yesterday and it’s been around for so many years 😍
yeah, this gen rs7 looks awesome, but the newest one looks like shit in comparison
@@MikeVista15 new one looks amazing what you on
@@MikeVista15 the new one is sexy asf the American speced cars look a bit uglier but they still look good
@@josephshamon7824 I like the curve in the sport light better, like the 12. Not crazy about the the straight lights.
"pioneered future designs for other brands". You couldn't be more wrong, Mercedes designed and pioneered the four door coupé since 2005 when they introduced the first gen Mercedes CLS. Audi didn't come out with the A7 until 2010. I still have two first gen Mercedes cls63's and I get complimented in both of them literally every time I drive either. Remember Mercedes lead the race in car innovation. After the cls, it was the Volkswagen CC, then the Porsche Panamera, then the A7, then Bmw came out with their grand coupes and so on so fourth.
here in the uk rs7, rd6 etc are so common. see soo many run anything from the 800hp-1000hp range with meth and hybrid turbos. proper cars
propah cahs :D
Rs7 with mwth is like humans using meth
@@mouaxiong8618 loool gains super car abilities just like a human on meth gains super natural abilities
What are going on about- RS7s and RS6s are soo rare on the roads mate! Only couple of guys do stage 3s. Chillax
Cheerio lad!
I have one and I bought it over the hellcat. I love my Rs7 @rs7_cellyy on Instagram if you want to check it out.
Wanna buy me one buddy
Me too
U ain't got shit
Damn that’s wassup!
@@brucewillis3931 @rs7_cellyy on Instagram. Stop hating my guy 🤡
The only good thing about the Hellcat is the engine, the platform used in the Hellcat is shit
Agreed
That's smart, make people buy an engine, with a car.
Hellcat also costs like half as this
@@natemartinez2745 a new RS7 yeah but you could literally get this car used for 45k
@@SIat You can get a used hellcat for less than this shitbox

I’ll take a sedan over a coupe any day . Feels good beating a couple in a 4 door car
@@andrewgomez6371 just the fucking room is nice too and coupes are kinda ugly unless it’s a 100k+ car
Last thing you said was just dumb LMAO
A better looking, better handling, more luxurious and arguably more desirable hellcat
I think the Hellcat looks better

@@user-fx2yd6wd3e you're right, the audi's interior blows the challenger's outta the water
@@Viper3048 the only thing hellcat is good for is waking up the neighbors and spinning out
Love the RS Audis, i hope you get to drive the new RS6 Avant that the USA got for the first time 😁
This is the best RS. Nothing like hammering the autobahn with a fridge in the back.
I like that you have a r34 profile photo but you like european cars Respect man
@@sebyfloristean9514 I love all kind of cars, sure, the R34 GTR is my dream car but that doesn't mean i don't love other cars 😁
@@joealex65 that's nice and unusual I like european cars a bit more than the other cars but i do colect scale cars (mostly 1:64 and 1:32 scale) and i have a like 16 f&f cars (1:32) and half of them are jdm and i love them Today i got brian's eclipse
The rs7 is scary fast..I am surprised on how this car looks and sounds..its insane
This car can literally be driven like a normal daily everyday car, not loud smooth etc, then dynamic mode and step on it, and it just becomes this monster, such a dynamic car
I love watching the enjoyment in your face from the car, really shows why cars mean so much not many things can recreate that enjoyment
I've always loved the RS7. The teardrop tail end and the German hammer engine and design on the front end is what made me love it. Beautiful car.
This and the RS3/TTRS are my favorite modern Audis by far
I love that 5 cylinder turbo. Baby v10
@@don_huzan baby Huracan/Viper (yes, Lamborghini designed the engine in the Viper since they were owned by Chrysler at the time the Viper was designed)
@@RyanRoadReaper Yeah it’s true
10,000% the RS7 and anything with that inline 5 cylinder is amazing. Tuners wet dream
This my absolute favorite car ever. So glad you did a review on one. But now my obsession with this car is overflowing. The want is sooo real. I will have one in the future
Few years ago I had an opportunity to drive my friends RS3 and 2 things impressed me was how straight the car launched when I gave her the beans and how feather light the steering was on the car. Just awesome well engineered cars those AUDI boys. Love the channel. .
i don't like the light feel of the steering well i can barely tell what i am driving on, i mean i am comparing it to a c6 but still they are both "sports cars"
Those ZF transmissions are fantastic! One of the few autos that are actually fun to drive.
Is that the same one in the bmw?
@@ratedm90 there are so many variants of the 8HP that are used with BMW’s, Audi’s, Grand Cherokee SRT/Trackhawk etc so it’s possible. I haven’t cross referenced though so I can’t say for sure.
@@Turndog375 Oh word! Because I think that's what the new Supra uses.
@@ratedm90 yeah the Supra uses the 8HP as well. They’re stout transmissions and work very well. Very responsive and fun to drive. I definitely liked the one I had in my Grand Cherokee SRT when I had it.
@@Turndog375 They last forever too. 134k miles on the 8HP in my A4 and it still feels great.
The value rn for a used RS7 is really good for what you’re getting
You won’t be saying that once your Audi repair bill comes in😂
@@yermailmain206 actually it is not that bad i own a 2014 one it is only a s7 tho so i cant tell how it is on the rs7 but it is actually cheaper to maintain than the vw touareg i had before
@@Reaxo21 touregs,cayennes are soo terrible. Sorry to hear about that.
They are a bargain Around 50k euros (in europe) for a newish car that is so exiting and beautifull One of the best all around cars èin the world For 100k you could get an rs7 and an rs6
It is a great bargain and a great car but , a m550i would probably bet a better bargain faster for cheaper and much more updated and nicer interior
We got it yesterday... Man, this is THE BEAST car! Every ride gives thrills and chills and you learn more about its handling and power.
Thanks for reviewing my RS7! What’s a beast of a car!!
Your car is awesome! Hopefully i will buy one in the near future for myself. Can you tell us what exhaust system your RS7 has?
I am also interested to know which exhaust is this? Thanks
The wave rotors were straight off the Audi IMSA race cars.
Knowledge and entertainment lol that's why I love watching your videos man!
Great video David! The RS7 looks and sounds great!
This is the only Audi that I would ever dream of owning, I just love the fastback-ish body style and that wing. Beautiful car!
Wouldn't you rather have 10 S6 5.2l
The RS6 and RS3 though
Love these, love the turbo set up on them, very interesting
Recently went stage 2+ on my a7 and that thing is awesome… hope to grab an rs7 in a couple years
Love the RS7 you just reviewed and the new rs5 & rs6 the old rs4 with the 4.2 😊
Great honest review bro!! Awesome car, one of the all time Greats
A girl I worked with was 17 and her parents bought her one of these, she couldn’t even park it correctly the police made her move her car twice in 2 months 😂😂
Lucky
@@freeeggs3811 I later found out it wasn’t an RS it was just an S7 that was upbadged. But still like who buys their teenage daughter a $40k car? 😂 especially since she just started driving and was obviously not great at it lmao.
Short answer, yes. As it can actually put the power to the ground.
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c i knew it was going to be good
Absolutely love Audis! Owned a S4. Loved it too but reliability was an issue. Always something. My buddy had a S4 too and his actually caught fire and burned to the ground while he was asleep. Fireman said it was caused by faulty wiring. Hopefully as there prices have climbed, they have spent more time on making them last longer.
one of my mechanics has one, 3 passengers and it hits 200 like nothing. so smooth. fast asf. we cruised back from new jersey to boston avg 120mph and it felt like 60.
Totally unrelated. Seeing all of the green and sunshine is helping get through January in Michigan right now.
Great review ! U grinned every time u romped on 3Rd gear ! The perfect car !
Those pops and bangs are killer. Awesome car and solid review David!
The car is so comfortable yet the manouvering of it is just amazing. It doesn't feel like you're driving a huge car, it feels tiny and just a pleasure to handle for sure. The power delivery is insane, the downshift pops and bangs are crazy as well. It's literally the perfect car
Been a fan of your content for many years. I hope to thank you in the future. If I don't have to destroy this entire reality
now we need an rs3 review
6:10 bruuuh the paint/wrap 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I want one of those so bad my friend has one pearl white with the red interior that car is so perfect!!!!! ❤️💪🏾
Great video as always! If I can buy any car right now to be my all around vehicle I would take an RS6 Avant all day! Just saw my first one out in the wild a few days ago. Made me smile like no other!
I’m used to small coupes, but I love ANY RS sedan ❤️
I love all the RS cars from the RS3 to the RSQ8 but if I could only afford to have one,I’d go with the new RS6 Avant. That thing is so badass!!
I have a tuned S8 PLUS , same motor, little larger, heavier, heated and cooled 5 way massaging seats, runs 10.80s, and gets 26 MPG on road trips ! The only other car I would consider is the RS7 because it actually IS more tunable than mine. Best car by far I've ever owned!
Do love when you test a German especially when its an audi🤩
I’ve been waiting for David to post these reviews for the past few months. I actually had the honor of meeting him when I went from new York to Georgia for a little vacation. Oddly enough I met him because my cats got clogged, and it melted my pistons. By far the most humble KZheadr I have ever met. Helped me with the car, and gave me a ride to Helen so I can call a friend to pick me up. Keep up the good work!
Never have been a fan of hot v turbos. But you drop some dough to get done right and it's really nice 👌
I've driven an old Audi S5 with the V8, it is special,these cars handle and react very fast and yet hitting bumps or and other imperfections on the road the suspension just absorbs them! I would buy an s or rs car if I was given the choice(an amg would be another choice too)
This car is so clean🔥🔥 I’ll take this over the hell cat any day !
Always been my dream car since I first saw one
I always thought Audi's S and RS lineups were overlooked compared to the usual AMG "63" models, the M3-M8 lineup, etc. It's too bad because this RS7 looks cool
Yup agreed. The Audi S lineup really packs a punch in terms of power. The price isn’t over the top either. The RS lineup in my opinion, even though they are aesthetically pleasing, are overpriced for the amount of power you are getting in those car (stock).
Short answer: yes Long answer: Hell yes!
U need to drive an ur quattro, the foundation for all modern audis and a beautiful turbo I5 😍
This is an awesome looking all around ride!
Just bought an s6 with the same engine and I have never been more in love with a car in my life
Same here!
Put rs7 turbos on it
As far as i know the only difference are the turbos and the gear box.
@@Mische2kehh the rs7 also gets some beefier internals. But the S6 engine should stand up to whatever you need with supporting cooling mods.
@@thedragon356 that’s the plan, Stan. Or the dragon whatever you prefer
That’s lextacy rs7 soo beautiful 🤩 sounds awesome
I love that German sedans go for the baritone exhaust notes. Rasp does not apply on their V8's unless you mess with the exhaust too much. Never driven a hot Audi though. I am looking forward to the time it does happen!
More refined for sure. Audi has some great cars out there
Credit where credit is due, this is an excellent review. He talks about all the highlights without being obnoxious, and cuts to thrilling exhaust runs in the right moments. I do agree with him that the R8 is a relatively tame car, I had a 2014 Suzuka Grey V10 and the car was pretty sedate most the time unless you wring it out to 5000+ revs with the sport mode on, otherwise you can barely hear the exhaust. I’m eyeballing the RS7 for my next daily driver, it’s an R8 for the whole family 😂. Heck, it even has more trunk space than my wife’s GLC (25 ft3 vs 20 ft3)
Do it! If it had 5 seats, I would have gotten it. Ended up with the S8+ and it hauls!
Got one and it’s amazing. Wouldn’t look back!
We just got our rs6 avant and we are pretty much in love
I bought one of these last year and it’s such a fun car to drive.
I personally have a 2008 Audi s6 with the 5.2 v10. It's nowhere near as fast as an rs7 but I would argue just the sound of the v10 and the nearly 400 ft lbs of torque give it plenty of character.
I saw your mustang in Athens on Sunday!
Well the RS's are somewhat special. I owned an S8 and loved it, how I could play cat and mouse with a 911 on the Autobahn and they couldn't shake me off :). For me the RS7 or 6 are the perfect understatement / sleepers for the road. I really enjoy your content and the way you're presenting the matter. What always turned me off by owning a German car here in the US, was the wait time for parts, especially when you own a rather rare car, took my shop always 2 weeks.... :(
Man that thing is crazy! Love it!
The RS6 Avant has been one of my dream cars. Next to a Stagea with a R34 front end. ... but money is tight so I drive a SG Forester STI. Not close.... but fun for y current budget.
I actually I like the stagea and the forester more than the rs6. The forester can be made a lot more fun than the rs6 with some interior and engine mods. The stagea is the coolest looking of them all.
@@headless7345 i dont know... the rs6 avant is MEAN!
My brother has a 2014 s6 v8tt and loves that thing to death. You sir jjst made him want to upgrade :)))))
I purchased an 01 Audi A4 because I wanted a cheap turbo 5 speed and I got it for $800. After I put a bunch of money and work into the car, it's now my daily and I love it! I loved it so much I went and got my wife a 2014 Audi A4 Quattro. Both are only a turbo 4 cylinder (stage 2 tune) and they are the same, they just want to rip! The RS models are currently out of my price range but one day they will be obtainable!
I have had the pleasure of driving one of those myself, incredible cars indeed.
I’m sold!!! Getting one NOW 💪🏽
A coworker told me the same thing, his R8 never scared him but the RS7 was nuts
I had a 96 S600 years ago, it was a 6L NA V12, before Benz stuffed monster V8s and turbos under the hood. It was a glorious, giant, fast (for a 96) sedan. I remember tearing down M39/Southfield Freeway here in Detroit, side-by-side with a C5 Vette one night doing 150. That car handled so welll for its size and weight. Never underestimate a 4-door sedan.
I just bought one last night. What a beast! Definitely would recommend getting the extended warranty with it
That’s any Audi bud!! Get the extended warranty!
I drive a 2013 s5 and I really want the rs5.. sick cars
This with thicker tires on it is a sight to be seen ❤❤❤
doug demuros influence is showing in the beginning with the “THIS- is...”
These things are fast, there's a decent amount of these here in Germany and man they move out!
@ 9:49 , I thought this was going to be his last video! 🤣 BLIND HILL Dam that things fast.
Love it❤ i wanna buy a rs7 2014 what is the best mods for 800hp 1000nm +/-?
This is my dream car they are amazing
And that really says it: "It just does the thing". I'm on Audi #7 and looking for an RS6 Avant next year to be #8.
As an RS7 owner, I absolutely love the car. Throwing a tune on it brings it alive even farther... One of the very few cars I've been impressed with "out of the box"
Hey man, how many miles does it have and were there any big problems? I'm curious to know because I might get one soon
@@AustriaUndeadSlaya I just rolled over 70k a few months ago, I take it on road trips yearly. Turbos were replaced under dealer warranty around 58k. Aside from that nothing else major done. One O2 sensor, tires, brakes, trans fluid. Oil change. Etc
Is that stock exhaust on that particular one if so I’m gonna get pulled over quite a bit LOL I would think
I have always loved the RS7, But I couldn't help to Notice that there is a bit of delay from when you pressed the paddle shifters? Did you notice a delay?
I recently purchased a used A7 3.0TSFI. The hatch feature is so useful in my life. The ability to open the hatch and fit two folding e-bikes and take my wife to the park was one of the main reasons we bought it.
Such a badass car. I cant wait to get one!
Review a newer M5. That would be a more apt comparison than the M3/M4 since they're so much smaller and have inline 6 engines and not a twin turbo V8.
One of my favorite audis
the sound is insane!!!
If I ever get rid of my 2016 S6, it will be because the next step is the rs7 or the new 2020 rs6. GMP Performance right there in Charlotte tuned my S6. APR stage 2, APR downpipes, 100 octane. 600+ ft/lb of torque at 2800 rpm.
Yup the RS7 the most one of my favorite sportback car
Car is truly a masterpice. I have a '13 S6 tuned to 550hp and it still turns heads 9 years later. Not quite as quick as an RS (especially a modded one) but it's got 10X the luxury and creature comforts of a Hellcat. On paper, it's got the same 0-60 as a Hellcat of the same year, but unlike the quick Hellcat, I can pass a gas station. Like you, if I had to own 1 car It would be an S/RS 6 or 7. My S6 is the best car I've ever sat in, bar none!
i like the video soon as i clicked just because it’s a thatdudeinblue vid 🙂
How reliable would you say these are? Say for 3-5 year ownership? better to buy a S7 (2017,60k miles or less or a 2016-17 RS7?
Favorite German car ever is still the 08 Audi RS4. With a supercharger installed, it is golden.
Favorite sounding would be the Audi Sport Quattro.
Need to drive a 2020 r8 😎 you might change your mind lol Rs7 is a supercar killer in a luxury sleeper love the videos 🙏
How long ago was this filmed? Green leaves...we haven't had leaves on trees for months in NC which is where the plate is from. Also plate expired in August of 2020 so sometime before that
aren't those considered wave rotors? if so, wouldn't the cut outs be for weight reduction? 😕
