Pros & Cons
What we love
✓The last surviving A7-bodied Audi in the US for 2026 — both the A7 and S7 were discontinued, leaving the RS 7 performance as a C8-generation carryover with no Premium/Premium Plus/Prestige ladder
✓4.0L twin-turbo "hot-V" V8 with cylinder-on-demand and 48V mild-hybrid assist makes 621hp and 627 lb-ft, good for a 3.3s 0-60 and a 155mph standard top speed
✓Top speed climbs to 174mph with the optional RS Dynamic package, or 190mph with RS Dynamic Plus (which also adds carbon-ceramic brakes) — both are options, not standard
✓RS adaptive air suspension, RS sport leather seats, 12.3" virtual cockpit with dual MMI touchscreens, and Bang & Olufsen 3D premium audio are all standard from the single available grade
Considerations
✕Ventilated front seats and massage seats are both optional (via RS Design/Comfort packages), not standard, despite the car's six-figure starting price
✕Head-up display is optional rather than standard — notable at this price point, and the source itself flags this as worth confirming via the configurator
✕Dynamic all-wheel steering and the higher 174/190mph top-speed packages are all standalone options, not included in the base $132,700 price
✕Exact base (21") tyre sizing is not published — only the 285/30 R22 size used with the optional 22" wheels is confirmed
