## Highlights

- 621bhp 4.0-litre biturbo V8 with 850Nm
- 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds
- 30PS more than the standard RS 7, from revised turbochargers
- quattro all-wheel drive with a sport differential on the rear axle
- Five seats and a hatchback tailgate

## What does the performance version add?

Thirty metric horsepower, taking it from 600PS to 630PS — 621bhp — with 850Nm of torque. It comes from revised turbochargers running higher boost, along with different gear ratios in the eight-speed automatic and less sound insulation so more of the V8 reaches the cabin. Lighter forged wheels are offered as well. On paper the gain is small; from 60mph it is obvious.

## How fast is it allowed to go?

That depends on the individual car. Top speed is limited to 155mph as standard, 174mph with the dynamic package and 189mph with the RS dynamic package plus. None of it is usable on a British road, but it changes the gearing and the way the car sits at motorway speed, so we tell you which package the actual car carries before you book.

## What does it cost to hire?

A refundable deposit near £3,500 and a matching excess apply.50 a mile after that.

## Who tends to hire it?

People covering long distances quickly without wanting the attention. It is a common business booking — five seats, a deep boot and a cabin quiet enough to take calls in — and a common choice for drivers who want a week of supercar pace without a supercar’s ride height, deposit or parking anxiety. It shares its engine with the RS Q8 we can also source, in a lower and calmer car.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire an Audi RS 7 in the UK?

Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through partners rather than supplying it ourselves, and we confirm a named car and your dates before anything is agreed.

### Is the RS 7 the same car as the RS 6?

Mechanically, near enough. They share the 4.0-litre V8, the quattro drivetrain and most of the suspension. The RS 6 is an estate and carries more; the RS 7 is a five-door hatchback with a lower roofline, and it is the one people usually ask for by name.

### How many seats does the RS 7 have?

Five, under a hatchback tailgate rather than a boot lid. Rear headroom is tighter than in an RS 6 because of the sloping roof, but three adults fit across the back for shorter journeys.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
