About this generation

The inaugural Audi RS7 Sportback combined a sleek five-door coupe profile with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 outputting up to 605 hp in Performance trim.

Introduced in 2013, the first-generation Audi RS7 Sportback (C7) brought RS6 performance to a sweeping five-door fastback silhouette. Sharing its mechanical foundation with the C7 RS6, it featured a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 560 hp and 700 Nm of torque, which increased to 605 hp in the RS7 Performance model. Power was routed through an advanced eight-speed Tiptronic automatic and crown-gear quattro all-wheel drive, launching the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.

With its iconic sloping roofline, active rear spoiler, honeycomb Singleframe grille, and signature oval exhaust outlets, the C7 RS7 delivered effortless high-speed elegance across continent-crossing journeys. Drivers could choose between adaptive air suspension for long-distance comfort or Dynamic Ride Control for sharp cornering. The C7 RS7 successfully established Audi as a premier contender in the high-performance four-door luxury coupe market.
