As with the RS6 Performance a few hours ago, here we go again!
Finally. Finally. Finally. Let me repeat that again: FINALLY. Here is the new 2023 RS7 Performance. After years of begging from the people for Audi to release a more powerful version of the RS7, it’s finally here.
At the Audi Performance Days in event in Spain last week, for the media and all, I was one of the chosen ones to get a first glimpse of the new RS6 Performance and RS7 Performance. Normally they were supposed to be shot in a studio, but after asking nice, Audi let me take them out on the Circuito Monteblanco track, so at least I could snap some shots and videos in proper daylight.
The new Performance models have 30hp more power (630) and 50Nm more torque (850). Not only that, they are lighter. The official acceleration time is 0.2seconds faster down to 3.4 seconds, which for sure means 3.2 seconds in real life. More of everything changed in the new car in the info below. Enjoy!

Power: Thanks to larger turbocharges, the boost goes up from 2.4 to 2.6 bar
Weight reduction: Thanks to reduced insulation between the engine compartment, the interior and the rear of the car, it is 8kg/17lbs lighter. Also, the new 22” lightweight performance wheels, reduce the weight further by 5kg/wheel, compared to the aluminum RS6 22” wheel

Technology: Strictly mechanical now lighter, more compact and self-locking center differential distributes engine power to the rear axle at 40:60 ratio, and if slippage occurs, the power goes 70-85% to the rear.
Steering: Self-steering response is more exact for more agile driving
