I've driven both the base Audi RS7 and the more powerful RS7 Performance (often mistakenly called RS7R), experiencing their differences firsthand. The RS7 is already a beast, with its 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine delivering around 600 horsepower, lightning-fast acceleration, and a suspension setup that balances comfort, making it smooth even on rough roads. However, the RS7 Performance is even more aggressive, boosting horsepower to over 630, with more intense turbocharging, shaving nearly 0.3 seconds off the 0-100 km/h time, and delivering stronger acceleration push. The suspension is stiffer, providing rock-solid stability on track corners, and the unique grille and exhaust note make it sound like a roaring beast. The downside is slightly higher fuel consumption—an extra liter or two per 100 km in the city—and the stiff suspension can be tiring during long highway cruises because it's picky about road surfaces. Overall, the RS7 suits casual enthusiasts who want occasional thrills, while the Performance is for speed-obsessed fanatics.
