Exterior design

The Audi RS 7 Sportback and the RS 7 Sportback performance sit low to the ground. The flared wheel arches emphasize the spectacularly sporty nature of the high-performance model. The noticeable width is no optical illusion – at 1,950 millimeters (76.8 in) at the front fenders, the tape measure has to stretch an extra 20 millimeters (0.8 in) on each side over the Audi A7 Sportback. The RS 7 Sportback and the RS 7 Sportback performance share the coupé-like lines of the base model’s body but have only four identical parts: the hood, the roof, the front doors, and the tailgate. The RS-specific exterior design lends the 5,009-millimeter (197.2-inch) grand tourer a character all its own.

The front end of the RS 7 Sportback and the RS 7 Sportback performance features a broader and flatter Singleframe than the A7 Sportback, with no contrasting chrome border. The radiator protective grille with its RS-specific three-dimensional honeycomb structure has retained its glossy black appearance. Inspired by the Audi R8 supercar, distinctive air inlets on the front end with glossy black vertical wings emphasize the powerful styling. A horizontal blade marks a distinctive downward edge to the front end.

The side view of the Audi RS 7 Sportback and the RS 7 Sportback performance reveals sharply defined lines and curved surfaces appearing like well-toned muscles. A low shoulder line shifts the visual emphasis downward, while the window line rises toward the rear, giving a sense of dynamism even when the vehicle is stationary. The RS specific door sills with black inlays accentuate the high-performance Sportback’s distinct impression of forward movement.

The rear end’s sweeping spoiler lip and strip of lights linking the main rear lights together are among the characteristic defining features of the RS 7 Sportback and RS 7 Sportback performance. At a speed of 100 km/h (62.1 mph), a spoiler will extend from the tailgate. The RS exhaust system, with a large, chrome-colored oval tailpipe on each side, sits beneath an RS-specific bumper with a rear diffuser in gloss black.

Customers can tailor the RS 7 Sportback and RS 7 Sportback performance to suit their preferences, with a wide range of variations and numerous equipment options offering plenty of room for personalization. The range of colors for the RS 7 encompasses thirteen exterior paint finishes, including the two RS-specific shades of Nardo gray and Sebring black, crystal effect. There are also five matte effect paint finishes available exclusively for the RS 6 and RS 7 models.

The exterior mirror housings on the RS 7 are glossy black as standard, with aluminum matte or body color available as options. Flaps, blades, sill inlays, window slot trims, and the rear diffuser clip can fall under one of three styling packages in matte aluminum, glossy black, or carbon.

Upon request, the Audi rings and RS logos at the front and rear are also available in glossy black for the black and carbon styling packages. For a more understated look, it is also possible to request that the Audi rings and RS badges be omitted entirely. The diverse Audi exclusive range offers additional possibilities for personalization.

Fresh exterior colors and styling packages for the Audi RS 7 performance

The new RS 7 Sportback performance is available in a total of 16 exterior colors – for the first time, metallic and matte Ascari Blue and matte Dew Silver are included. The performance models stand out with standard RS exterior components in matte gray, including the exterior mirrors, the front spoiler, the front side flaps, the side sill inserts, the roof rails, and the trim on the side windows and rear diffuser. A matte carbon/black styling package is also an option, in which the roof rails and trim on the side windows are black. The Audi rings and model name is available in the customer’s choice of chrome or black.
