There’s no doubt that Audi has built some beastly beauties over the years. And truth be told, we can’t get enough of them. So, of course we got a little giddy when Audi delivered a long, dark, and handsome RS 7 for us to try out. What’s gotten our automotive hearts all aflutter? Let’s find out.

Audi has long had their own unique take on the German sport sedan theme; basing it on front rather than rear-wheel drive chassis; and while seeing it mature, we’ve grown to really enjoy their approach. While they have plenty of models to choose from, it’s this 5-door supercar RS 7 that we’ve taken a particular shine to.

When unleashed for 2014, it was the most powerful Audi you could get; eclipsing even the R8. Of course since then, a new R8 has upped the ante; so this 2016 RS 7 gets a host of updates to stay in the game, and placate those enthusiasts that always expect more performance.

The RS 7 is, of course, a high output version of the A7; and along with the middle-child S7, all get new front fascias for ’16 with full LED headlights.

In kind, the rear is updated with new taillights above, and trapezoidal exhaust tips below...
