-Exclusive image previews powerful four-door super-coupe
-To use plug-in hybrid drivetrain developed from Panamera
THE all-new Audi RS 7 will be the most powerful model in the company’s history and the first car from Audi Sport to feature plug-in hybrid technology, Auto Express can reveal.
Engineers are applying the finishing touches to the four-door super-coupé ahead of its arrival in showrooms later next year. Strong customer demand has encouraged Audi Sport to introduce RS models far earlier in a new model’s lifecycle than before, a precedent set with the new RS 5 in 2017.
The latest RS 7 will be given Audi Sport’s trademark makeover. Our exclusive main image gives an idea of what the showroom model will look like; blistered arches, an aggressive front end and a twin exhaust pipe set-up will mark it out as the range-topping model.
