Gulf Weekly Sportback makes debut at auto show

Audi is expanding its RS model lineup with the RS 7 Sportback, which made its debut at the recent North American International Auto Show 2013 in Detroit, US.

The RS 7 Sportback, a large five-door coupe, is expected to make its market launch in the Middle East in 2014.

At its heart is the 4.0 TFSI – its twin-turbo V8 engine that displaces 3,993cc, with 560bhp available between 5,700 and 6,700rpm.

The RS 7 Sportback sprints from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.9 seconds. Audi limits the top speed in the standard configuration to 250 kmph.

It comes standard with quattro permanent all-wheel drive for its decisive advantage in traction and driving safety compared with its two-wheel-drive competitors. Audi also offers the optional sport differential for the rear axle, which uses two superposition gears to actively distribute the power between the wheels.

The body of the Audi RS 7 Sportback includes up to 20 per cent aluminum and high-strength steels. Its high rigidity is the foundation for the precise handling, excellent workmanship and quiet cabin free of intrusive noise.

The Audi RS 7 Sportback comes with a generous list of equipment, including LED headlights, a tyre pressure monitoring system, parking system plus, three-zone automatic air conditioning, cruise control and the Audi sound system.

Its price will be announced shortly.
