Is there a vid or only a story on "that" boost site? My low 11 S600 is stupid slow by today's standards.

Damn.. If true that'd be a game changer
Overview:*With a sleek, fastback body, aggressive styling modifications, and gorgeous 20-inch wheels, the A7-based RS7 could get by on looks alone. But as an RS model, that is completely unnecessary, packing as it does a spectacular turbocharged 560-hp V-8, a performance-tuned eight-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, a lowered suspension, and a 174-mph top speed. Its six-figure price tag is none too cheap, but the RS7 is as close as it gets to an R8 supercar with four—make that five—doors.*FIRST DRIVE REVIEW — 2014 AUDI RS7*»

Sean, I just realized that I forgot to respond to you a couple of months ago. My deepest apologies. I hope you are doing well my friend.
I really love the new RS7. I think it's probably a cut above the E63 and CLS63 in some departments (interior and ergonomics). I doubt it would be faster than a tuned 4-matic AMG………also, I still think the CLS63 is aesthetically superior.

Audi as a company (VAG) is trash. i dont care if it runs 9s. ill never own another one... i will admit i have a soft spot for the RS4.. But ill still never own one.
i was just at audi last week looking at a A6.. those idiots wanted 1200/mo on a 36mo lease. i laughed my way out of the showroom.

The Benz is the Daddy of those cars IMO. Can't wait to get an E63 TT! Probably the end of the this summer I will start looking! The Audi is impressive though, I must say!

Find this hard to believe guys, from Car&Driver it weighs 4500lbs & runs 11.60 1/4 mile stock highly doubt Tune only RS7 on stock wheels & tires that are 20"s no less rips off 10.67
Check out this comparo too.. In stock trim RS7 Traps 123 vs near 130 w/tune only? They compare it to the CLS63 S model etc..

Since when have magazine claims ever been accurate? With the right conditions every one of their claimed 1/4mile stats has been smashed, including the numbers for our cars. C&D claimed our cars did the standing quarter in 12.4 which may be accurate for the average joe but we've proven that number to be off by more than 1/2 second in a few cases. So tune only (on a turbo car) could easily drop that much time compared to magazine stats imho.

Pretty sure we had a couple of guys that went sub 12's bone stock back in the day but it's been too many years for me to remember. Maybe Hammerdown might have been one.
Maybe the RS7 won't do 11's bone stock but low 11's for sure with all the right conditions. And a tune on a turbo car can easily be worth near 100hp...

I'd love to find an enthusiast actually confirming this instead of getting it horses mouth but even if it was within a few tenths of the 10.69 figure it would be very impressive. Can you imagine what simple intake and exhaust mods plus 100 octane tune would do on this platform?

The APR Stage I ECU Upgrade gives you higher peak numbers of 674 HP/700 FT-LBS on 93 (R+M)/2 octane and up to 728 HP/744 FT-LBS on 100 (R+M)/2 octane race fuel. As much as +162 HP and +223 FT-LBS of torque are available through the power band! APR's ECU Upgrade is the best power per dollar modification for the new 4.0 TFSI V8 and gives it just the extra edge these cars lack from the factory without pushing the limits. With factory-like smoothness and drivability, APR's ECU upgrade will fill the void in an otherwise excellent car.

That is damn impressive. That Quattro does amazing stuff for the drag strip. Trap speed is also up there.
Just looked at one last week at my local dealer in dark matte grey and it is a looker. Interior is overall sportier and electronics are superior. Very nice carbon fiber outside.
My main issue is that at 125K, it was 7K more than my CLS similarly appointed.
Audi has so few RS that they want sticker for the car whereas MB sells the AMG at a good discount if you shop hard enough..

Either way, 10.7 seems easily possible on a tune only turbo car with awd.
