2026 Audi RS 7 performance Specs, Trims, & Features

The 2026 Audi RS 7 performance stands as the ultimate expression of the high-performance four-door coupe, merging breathtaking power with a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette that commands attention on every Riverside road. Featuring a wide-body stance and aggressive RS-specific styling, the RS 7 is the definitive choice for drivers who demand uncompromised performance and a commanding road presence without sacrificing executive luxury. For the 2026 model year, this high-performance flagship benefits from a reengineered V8 heart and the most advanced chassis technology ever fitted to an Audi Sportback, providing a visceral connection to the road. It is a vehicle that commands respect on any Southern California road, providing a visceral driving experience and the prestigious presence that only an Audi Sport flagship can offer, ensuring it remains a dominant icon in the luxury performance segment.

At the heart of the RS 7 performance is a handcrafted 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing a staggering 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. This immense power is managed by an eight-speed Tiptronic® transmission and the legendary quattro® all-wheel drive system, allowing the RS 7 to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.3 seconds. It isn't just about straight-line speed; with standard all-wheel steering and an RS-tuned adaptive air suspension, the RS 7 performance provides a level of agility and cornering grip that defies its executive dimensions, allowing it to handle like a much smaller sports car. This is a vehicle that feels as composed and stable during high-speed maneuvers on Southern California highways as it does providing a cloud-like ride for its occupants, delivering an unmatched balance of athleticism and refinement for every Riverside owner.

Riverside owners will enjoy standard 21-inch wheels, RS-specific honeycomb-stitched Valcona leather sport seats, and the immersive Bang & Olufsen® sound system for a premium audio experience.

Performance Specs and Driving Dynamics

Performance dynamics in the RS 7 are managed by an array of specialized systems designed to maximize both cornering speed and driver feedback across any road surface. The standard RS-tuned sport suspension can be upgraded to the RS Dynamic Ride Control system, which replaces air springs with steel springs and hydraulic dampers for even more precise body control during high-speed Riverside maneuvers. The quattro® system features a specialized sport rear differential that can distribute torque between the rear wheels to actively rotate the car, providing a level of responsiveness that is rare in a full-size luxury coupe. Massive standard steel brakes or optional ceramic units provide immense and consistent stopping power, ensuring the RS 7 remains composed during high-performance Southern California driving. The result is a prestigious four-door coupe that handles with surgical precision while maintaining the executive-level ride quality expected of a flagship Audi.

Despite its extreme performance, the RS 7 remains a sophisticated luxury vehicle with a quiet cabin and ample room for up to five passengers to travel in first-class comfort. Key interior technology and features include RS sport seats with massage and ventilation, the Bang & Olufsen® 3D Premium Sound System, and standard 4-zone automatic climate control. The 64-color active ambient lighting and MBUX-rivaling MMI® touch response system ensure that every journey through Southern California is a premium, multi-sensory event for all occupants.
