Continuing with revamping their product portfolio in India, Audi will soon be launching the RS7 in India and has now opened bookings for the car for a token amount of Rs 10 lakh.
Audi India was set to revamp their entire product portfolio this year and there’s a brand new car from Ingolstadt coming your way very soon. After pulling out most of their cars from the shelves due to BS6 norms, Audi had only three cars on sale in India – the BS6 A6, the A8L and the Q8. All their other cars will be brought back with either a facelift or a generation change. A few days ago, the carmaker teased its next offering in the country – a swanky Audi RS7. Audi has now commenced bookings for the RS7 four-door coupe for a token amount of Rs 10 lakh and it will be launched in India sometime in July 2020.
The Audi RS7 is essentially an A7 on steroids. And boy, does it go! The biggest takeaway from the RS7 apart from its manic performance would be its looks. The RS7 has a stunning silhouette and detailing on the car is simply astounding. The face looks immensely sporty with huge triangular air intakes and blacked-out treatment for the grille, the front splitter and the air intakes. In typical Audi fashion, the side profile is rather simple but the 21-inch wheel really stand out. The dance of the LED headlamps and tail lamps when you lock or unlock the car is also really cool to watch. At the rear, the sporty bumper with dual exhaust tips look great too.
Under the hood, the Audi RS7 is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine that produces 600bhp of power and 800Nm of peak torque. The engine also comes mated to a 48V mild-hybrid system for torque boost. The RS7 can sprint from 0-100 kph in just 3.6 seconds and it will go on to a electronically limited top-speed of 250kph. The engine comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox and power is sent to all four wheels via Audi’s Quattro All-Wheel drive system. However, unlike the BMW M8 or the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4 door Coupe, the RS7 does not have switchable AWD system.

On the inside, the dashboard layout is very familiar with other newer Audis like the A6, the A8 and the Q8. The dashboard is dominated by the dual Audi’s twin-screen central console. However, this being an RS car, both the central console screens and the virtual cockpit instrument cluster use an RS-specific user interface. The RS7 also gets RS sports seats with adequate side bolstering and lots of Alcantara trim as well. In terms of other equipment, it’s loaded with all the goodies you could ever want.

The RS7 also gets Audi RS-specific adaptive suspension which allows you to soften or stiffen up the suspension according to your driving circumstances. It can also raise or lower the car, a feature that would be very handy in India given our ill-constructed speed-breakers. Its been quite some time since we had an RS car in India and its lovely to see how Audi is really revamping their entire lineup in India. The RS7 will be a stunning addition. With its launch in July, the deliveries are expected to begin in August and we expect it to be priced around Rs 1.5 crores.
