2023 Audi RS 7 Review

The Audi RS 7 is Audi's weapons-grade high-performance sedan and it sits at the top of Audi’s RS range, along with the RS 6 wagon and the RS e-tron GT. The RS 7's strength is its versatility, providing thrills when you want them, solace and comfort when you don't, and plenty of utility with its large cargo area. Wrap all of that in some seriously attractive bodywork and you get a supersedan that's hard to ignore.

For 2023, the RS 7 will continue on with minimal changes, and take it from us, that's no bad thing. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 under the hood that makes 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, rocketing the sedan from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds in our testing. Audi says it will saunter to an electronically limited top speed of 190 mph — we don't doubt it.

A few optional extras that were introduced for 2022 like Audi's Dynamic Ride Control suspension and the RS Design kit will also carry over. Since the RS 7 is offered in just one trim level, these options do allow for a small measure of personalization. If you're more enthusiastic about driving, the optional suspension may be to your liking, but even the standard RS 7 is a great driver's car. If you're looking at the BMW M5 or Porsche Panamera GTS, be sure to take a spin in the RS 7 before you sign on the dotted line.
