2024 Audi RS7 Performance Carbon Black

This 2024 RS7 is the Performance variant, which lifts the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 to 621 bhp and 850 Nm and adds an eight-speed automatic and quattro four-wheel drive. The page quotes a 174 mph top speed, which implies the optional Dynamic Plus package. Audi's own 0-62 mph figure is 3.4 seconds. This car is in the Carbon Black specification, so the usual aluminium and gloss black trim is replaced with carbon.

The car is finished in Sebring Black and has a long options list. It has the Gloss Carbon Styling Pack, carbon mirror housings and Carbon Twill inlays. The RS Design Pack Plus brings grey interior detailing. The 22-inch five Y-spoke alloys are in Matt Neodymium Gold, which gives the black body a distinctive accent. The equipment also includes HD Matrix LED headlamps with Audi Laser Light, heated and memory-adjustable front seats and Audi Pre Sense Front.

It has covered 22,201 miles from first registration in 2024. That is modest use for a car of this age, and it leaves most of the useful life of a very quick, practical four-door fastback. It is priced at £81,950.
