TT:   / downshift_media   Website: https://downshiftmedia.us/ -- 0:00 - Intro BAD: 0:29 - Price At least for 2023 while they all have turbo V8s and pricing data available The M5 is due for a new gen featuring a hybrid V8 And the next E63 we’ll see will pack a 4 cylinder But as they sit currently This car is a 2023 2024 starts at $128k 2023 M5 started at ~110k 2023 E63 AMG start ~ $114k Which is shocking to see the Audi so much more than the others..but in truth the RS7 is more expensive than it’s own kin too RS6 starts $126k - 2k less eTron GT, which has similar power and performance, starts $106k 1:29 - Relative performance The RS7 and RS6 twins are making 591 hp and about the same number in torque And they’re getting to 60 in a shade over 3.5 seconds The AMG is over 600 hp And so is the M5, even in non-Comp trim And both are closer to 3 seconds flat to 60 And both are a bit more dynamic, louder, and more unhinged…if you’re into that sort of thing 2:32 - Overly subtle Interior design Another classic Audi personality trait…the subtlety Sure you have an RS button on your wheel and it says RS at the bottom, but it’s just a little subdued…but hey some people like that! 3:07 - Too simple This is kind of partner point to what we just talked about, but less specifically on the design and more about the little tech details Boring ambient light No crazy tech gimmicks - BMWs have drift mode now GOOD: 3:49 - Daily drive The Audi thing I love is the duality of the personality The M car and AMG don’t ease back and JUST become luxury cars They’re kind of always nudging you to drive harder…which could be a real problem for your license The RS7 with its air suspension relaxes way better and just becomes an A7 when you want it to 4:48 - Cargo and practicality As mentioned this brings liftback practicality Trunk space is enormous HUGE fan of this First gen RS7 one of my fav cars If you need more trunk space get the RS6 5:19 - Still fun to drive I knwo we’ve talked a lot about how this car isn’t as fast or crazy as the M car and it’s not as unhinged as the AMG And it does the comfort thing better than both of them And I think that starts to paint an unfair image of this car I don’t say these things to suggest the RS7 ISNT fun - it is! It handles beautifully 6:31 - Rear seats Very spacious Excellent diamond stitching 4 zone climate Heated seats Light up seatbelt ports 7:01 - Quality Very familiar Audi Same as SQ7, RSQ8, RS6, etc Excellent built Exquisite materials Exposed carbon fiber 7:29 - Engine siblings & Sound And that’s because the engine you get here is the same engine you get in car royalty Porsche Panamera Turbo Porsche Cayenne Turbo Lambirghini Urus Bentley Bentayga And of course Audi’s own RS6, S8, SQ7, RSQ8, etc 8:48 - Lux touches Heated and cooled seats massage seats Heated rear seats Great leathers and stitching Big screens for your cluster and infotainment I mean, it’s never lost on me that this is a luxury car 9:23 - Conclusion
