MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Audi RS 7, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The RS 7 is a glorious exercise in automotive excess. We'll just note that it's an all-wheel-drive 2.5-ton hatchback with a turbocharged V8 engine that pumps out more than 600 horsepower — and leave it at that.
