A limited run of only 23 Audi RS7 Exclusive models will be sold in the US market with prices starting from $166 495 (around R2,8 million), quite a bit more than the standard model or the RS7 Sportback we have in our market.
Powering the executive sedan will still be the twin-turbocharged 4,0-litre V8 that’s good for 441 kW and 800 N.m channelled to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. That means the sedan can still hit 100 km/h from standstill in 3,6 seconds and has a top speed limited to 306 km/h. The mechanicals are therefore the same, so what does the extra outlay get the 23 buyers of the limited edition Audi RS7 Exclusive?
Most identifiably, the German sedan has been finished in a shade of Mamba Black pearl which has a blue tinge in its undertones. A Carbon Optic package finishes the front spoiler, mirror caps and rear diffuser finished in the dark tone while the Audi emblem and other badges get Black Optic treatment.
All four corners of the model will boast sizable 22-inch rims which are finished in anthracite and wrapped in 285/30 performance rubber. Concealed behind them are ceramic brake discs which measure in at 440 mm on the front and 370 mm at the rear. Blue calipers are mounted on them, which compliment the subtle undertone in the bodywork.

On the inside, the RS7 Executive will feature the black and blue colour theme once again, with black leather complimented by Sepang Blue stitching. Additional trm in this material can be specified for the door armrests, upper door panels, part of the dashboard and centre console trim with the Audi Exclusive expanded leather package. Up above, the headliner uses black Dinamica faux suede which justifies some of the exclusivity which this model beholds.
