In late 2022, Audi unveiled the RS7 performance, the most powerful to that date version of the RS7, and besides the engine upgrades, there were also other parts that were improved.

The RS7 Sportback might be the answer for those who want RS6 Avant performance, but they appreciate a coupe-like bodywork more than the sleeper look of a station wagon. This is why Audi dropped the RS6 powerplant under the hood of the A7 and the result is the RS7 Sportback.

Audi made the RS7 for those who didn't want the RS6, which was available only as a station wagon, and the result was a supercar dressed as a fastback, four-door coupe.
