Audi has introduced a modest update for the RS7 Sportback which packs a slightly altered front grille along with an updated bumper. The honeycomb pattern of the front grille can receive a glossy black, matte aluminum or carbon finish while the body can wear one of the new paint finishes called Floret Silver, Glacier White, Sepang Blue and Mythos Black. Audi will be offering optional matrix LED headlights that have a darker trim in this application. On the inside updates are limited to the instrument cluster, air outlet controls, MMI and the quattro emblem.
Under the hood of the facelifted Audi RS7 Sportback is the same TFSI 4.0-liter V8 engine delivering 560 PS and a maximum torque of 700 Nm. It benefits from cylinder-on-demand technology and allows the high-performance four-door coupe hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds prior to achieving a maximum speed of 190 mph (305 km/h) if configured with the optional dynamics package.
The powerful engine works with an 8-speed tiptronic transmission and allows the vehicle to have a fuel consumption of 9.5 liters / 100 km and 221 g/km of CO2 emissions. The updated RS7 Sportback rides on standard 20- or optional 21-inch wheels and can be had for more money with a carbon fiber ceramic braking system.
Priced in Germany at 113,300 euros, the Audi RS7 Sportback facelift will go on sale in the third quarter of 2014.
