Audi India Launches RS 7 Sportback | Price, Specs & Pics

Audi, the German luxury car manufacturer, introduced the latest version of its popular sporty spearhead – the new Audi RS 7 Sportback in India. With aesthetic design and impressive sportiness, the new Audi RS 7 Sportback fascinates at first sight. Priced at INR 14,020,750/- (ex-showroom Mumbai and Delhi), the powerful new Audi RS 7 Sportback was unveiled by Mr. Joe King, Head, Audi India.

Engine

The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive system gives the powerful five-door Sportback a decisive advantage in traction and driving safety. The twin-turbo V8 4.0 TFSI® engine displaces 3,993 cc and produces 412 kW (560 hp) between 5,700 and 6,600 rpm, with a constant 700 Nm of torque available from 1,750 to 5,500 rpm. Despite the supreme power of the Bi-Turbo V8, the Audi RS 7 Sportback consumes on average just 9.8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, thanks to its efficient Cylinder on Demand technology (COD). By deactivating four cylinders in part load operation, the new Audi RS 7 Sportback achieves comparatively low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions without compromising on the superb performance potential. The engine can sprint the car form 0 to 100 km\h in just 3.9 seconds and it has the top speed of 305 km\h.

Exteriors

For the first time, Audi has introduced the Audi Matrix LED headlamps on the new Audi RS 7 Sportback. The LED headlamp cluster dynamically alters the high beam on a real time basis with the sole aim of not dazzling the oncoming traffic and the vehicle(s) in the front. The dynamic Sportback also includes integrated dynamic turn signals on the front and the rear, as well as new tail lights design. The long engine hood, the sporty and flowing C‑pillars and the sharply sloping rear end form an aesthetic overall impression. Slight modifications have been made to the bumper, with its distinctive air inlets. The Singleframe grille with the black honeycomb, typical of the RS models, now sports even sharper and more distinctive corners. The headlights are also adapted to the new Singleframe grille. Three optional packages – matte aluminum, gloss black and carbon – make the look of the new Audi RS 7 Sportback even more distinctive. The central front air inlet bears the quattro® lettering. Modifications have also been made to the bumper, with its distinctive air inlets.

The new Audi RS 7 Sportback also sets new standards with its hybrid aluminum design, making it weigh roughly 15 percent less than a comparable all-steel body, thanks to Audi’s lightweight construction technology

Interior

The elegant dynamics of the exterior design carry over to the interior of the Audi RS 7 Sportback as well. The salient element is the “wrap-around” – an arched, horizontal line below the windshield. The cockpit is tailored for the driver, with the center console oriented in the driver's direction. In the elegant black interior, dominated by the RS sport seats, the designers have revised the instrument cluster: the air outlet controls of the vent nozzles, the shift paddles behind the steering wheel and the quattro® emblem on the instrument panel. The standard MMI® navigation plus with MMI® touch now uses the modular infotainment platform of the latest generation; its highlight is an efficient graphics processor from Audi’s partner, Nvidia.

Safety

For Audi safety of rider is highest priority. The Audi RS 7 sportsback is equipped airbags for both driver and front passenger. The car features tyre pressure display system. The driver can see the pressure and temperature of individual tyres on MMI screen. Apart from it the car has Electronic Stabilisation control (ESC) which can control the movement for car in case of driver’s laziness.

“The new Audi RS 7 Sportback reinstates the reputation of the RS models as the superior, top athletes of our brand. With the new Audi RS 7 Sportback launch on the heels of the limited edition Audi R8 LMX and the all-new Audi TT Coupé, we are confident of strengthening our leadership and accelerating our growth in this segment. We are ready with a few more surprises for Audi fans and will be launching some more fantastic products this year soon,” said Mr. Joe King, Head, Audi India.
