Audi has unveiled the RS7 Dynamic Edition, ahead of its official debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
Designed to showcase the company’s exclusive personalization program, the RS7 Dynamic Edition’s exterior is highlighted by Tornado Red brake callipers with RS 7 logo and 21-inch Gloss Black wheels. Carbon fibre splitter, diffuser and carbon fibre engine cover further underline the performance character of the exclusive RS 7. Four exterior colours are available to complement the exclusive design elements namely, Ibis White, Suzuka Gray metallic, Daytona Gray pearl, Phantom Black pearl.
Inside, RS7 Dynamic Edition’s black Valcona leather seats have the RS specific honeycomb stitch in Crimson Red matching the safety belts of the same colour. Additional Crimson Red stitching can be found on the dashboard, gear shifter boot, centre and door armrests as well as along the centre console.
Apart from that, RS7 Dynamic Edition also has a DRC suspension that utilizes three-stage adjustable dampers that are hydraulically cross-linked and integrated into the Audi drive select system along with the standard rear sport differential for maximum performance driving. Dynamic steering adapts the steering boost and ratio to allow for more precise handling.
Under the hood, the five-door coupe is fitted with the twin-turbo 4.0-litre TFSI V8 engine, producing 560hp. This allows the RS 7 to sprint from 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds. At low to medium loads and engine speeds – with its cylinder on demand technology – the RS 7 deactivates cylinders 2, 3, 5 and 8 by closing their valves via electromechanical actuators. The 4.0-litre TFSI engine runs in four-cylinder mode, providing up to 15% better fuel efficiency, while the active engine mounts remove any changes in vibration between eight and four-cylinder modes.
